Fibrin

[Ken Shelmerdine]

Saw some cotton wool type stuff in my cycler drain bag this morning for the first time, I believe it's called 'Fibrin'. Is this a product created by dialysis and if so does it increase over time or is it just a a normal substance found in the abdomen?

[Bette]

It's a normal substance that is found in your abdomen.  I was taught that when you see it you should add some heparin to your next exchange bags.   Has your nurse taught you how to do this?

it generally goes away.
