On Wednesday the Neph came around to discuss my monthly labs and going through the he said I had a 94% cleaning of my blood and that it was the best percentage he has ever seen, I was so excited about it. The nutritionist came by to give a goody bag because of my results. On Monday I will get my lab results for the month so I can take it to my cardiologist and I will read it thoroughly. I hope this is a start of a trend that last for a long time.

Wow that's great! How do they get that number?
Well, whatever you're doing, it's working!! :bow;

That's terrific, but the important question is, "How do you feel?"
-
94% clearance??? That's amazing!! I thought I was pretty awesome the time I got 82% but clearly I'm a nobody!!! :rofl; I used to average around 72-75%
What sort of dialysis are you doing and for how long? That's a fantastic result.
:bow; :bow; :bow; :bow; :bow; :bow;

I am feeling pretty good but the only problem is I am suffering from low blood pressures. I am seeing my new cardiologist on Thursday to sort it all out. I am doing 4-1/2 hours on MWF. I will feel a lot better is next months labs are close to this months results. Does anyone know how they determine how effective the treatments by looking at the labs?

I've not heard of 'it' being put in percents like that. How is that figured?? I know kt/v but how is that % determined?? ............if i might ask :-)

Jenna was able to stop all BP meds after dialysis was working well. Some people need a bit more salt to help with low BP.
