Title: Mixed Mode Treatments
Post by: Stu on June 30, 2015, 09:42:13 PM
G'day all

Just wondering whether there are any of you good people doing mixed mode treatments, and if so, how do you find it?

For the last three years I was doing CAPD with one in-centre haemodialysis a week (a bit of an extra cleanout)

I've recently switched to doing three in-centre haemodialysis a week and an icodextrin overnight PD bag every night

With the new regime I find that the extra dialysis has me feeling pretty good. It also allows me an extra litre and a half or so between haemo treatments (I get around 750ml off overnight)

So yeah, anyone else doing anything like this?

Cheers
Stu
