Very useful information.
Now, if you were just starting home dialysis and had to choose between PD and NxStage, which would you choose?

18 liters, 450 blood flow rate, filtration fraction 33, 5 - 6 days/week, ~2 hrs, 15 min.

Question: for those of you doing over 20liters, how do you hang all the bags while travelling etc?
