Dose any one ever heard of this  Wearable PD machine?
http://www.awak.com/wearable_dialysis.htm
It will regenerate pd fluid, so we don't need to carry so many pd bag.
 
I heard they start the clinic test last year in US and Europe,
but I can't find any information about the test result.
any one participate the test, or know something about it?

I’ve read up on it.  It’s a really small portable machine that you carry with you everywhere you go.  It’s supposed to clean your blood while you have it on.  You can take it off should you want to do activities and put it back on when you are done.  You get a carrying bag to put the machine in along with a cup for your toxins.

Here’s the down side for me.  Your toxins have to come out in a small cup that is connected to the machine and as it gets full you dump the toxins in a toilet.  I don’t want to walk around with a cup full of toxins.  I am afraid that the smell from the toxins will become unbearable and I don’t want to walk around smelling like toxins.  We all know how that smells. 

However, it looks like you will have so much freedom to live a really close to normal life.

Hope this helps.

Dailysis patient for since 1999 and still kicking it strong.  I was called for a transplant but could not get it due to damage veins from extremely high blood pressure.  Have it under control now, on NxStage System but will receive dailysis for the rest of my life.  Does life sucks because of this.  ABOLUTELY NOT!  Life is what you make it good, bad, sick, or healthy.  Praise God I'm still functioning as a normal person just have to take extra steps.
