Hi :  My name is  Liz and am a care partner for my husband Joe. We use Nx Stage at home. Also a Renal RD and enjoying learning about other aspects of dialysis. Be happy to share what I know but remember your dietitian knows what is best for you.

He has been on Nxstage since April. Even though I work in HD it has been a learning curve to be able to to do needle sticks. Aprreciate my PCT's I work with all the more. We are a GOOD Team

Welcome to ihd, turtley! My husband also uses Nxstage. In addition to being in the comfort of his own home, he likes it because more frequent dialysis allows him to still enjoy the occasional baked potato. Fully loaded.
