Howdy Folks
I’ve noticed a lot of postings and questions regarding nocturnal... That's great the more people ask the better... seeing that nocturnal dialysis is BOSS
without a doubt far more superior than PD, CAPD and inadequate conventional "maintenance" hematolysis .
I now consider conventional to be " maintenance" just that and only that. and it will stay that way until people take a firm stand on the choice of therapy that they want, that is your right.
The idea of one size fits all has to be kicked out of a high flying plane I'd jump too with that scenario..... but my parachute will be of common sense not with the wishes and protocol of others....
For Answers on nocturnal I'd suggest/recommend/encourage that you go to this very informative site http://www.nocturnaldialysis.org/ Do yourself Justice
The author of this site explains nocturnal thoroughly and without the usual mind boggling technical jargons. Excellent example of a person who not only knows what he's talking about but how to convey the message in laymen terms. Nocturnal is Boss and so is this site.
In fact Id like to see copies of the literature in this site distribute to all clinics so that people having to make decisions on forms of therapy will a least have ALL options.

I really think home dialysis is the future of dialysis, the more we learn about it the more we can demand it be offered to us. My center does not offer it but I am going to be more pro active in trying to get something started in the near future. Right now they tell me insurance will not pay for it but that's BS on their part.
