Hubby just started training for nxstage. His kt/v is really good 2.55 but his phos is elevated a bit. When he was on nocturnal(Fresenius @home machine) he could basically eat what he wanted and phos was in normal range (most times). He does 3 hours a day 5 days a week right now. The training nurse is checking with the doctor today about him starting a phos binder. Anybody else on nxstage short daily have issues with phos?

I take binders as well on NxStage/day.
Your issue is not NxStage vs BabyK but nocturnal v. daytime. Once you get back on nocturnal the Phos issue will probably resolve.

I use NxStage 4 days a week for 3:40. But I do take binders. My legs els are fine.
Good Luck.

That's interesting....My husband uses Nxstage 5x a week and never had any problems with his phosphorous level until he recently had to do in-center for a month (3x a week). His latest labs kind of blindsided him. I figure it will take a month of doing home-hemo again before things get back to normal. Until then, more binders and no baked potatoes!

Sorry, should have said " my labs" are fine. Fat fingers and a phone.

He has binders as of today so it should be good until he starts nocturnal again. Hopefully that will be shortly after Christmas. There is a huge difference in phos when doing nocturnal vs short daily!!
