Title: Just thinking
Post by: rhood151 on December 21, 2005, 06:12:04 AM: I'm not on dialysis but have been working on the financial side of the business for several years so I don't have any direct experience - BUT. If a person is ESRD and living with another who is not, can the healthy person act as the other's kidney during the night by a continuous blood exchange? Granted this would assume there are no other complications such as hepatitis and would generally work only for a husband an wife. Logically this seems possible.
