Welcome Richard.  I started in-center hemodialysis when I was 24.  It's now 25 years later and counting.
It's good that you have joined our community!  I look forward to your posts.

BTW, Nocturnal Hemodialysis is far the best renal replacement therapy this side of a transplant.  In fact, some nephrologists believe that 6-nights-a-week nocturnal may be equal to a transplant.

But there are some unanswered questions about how all that dialysis affects the nutritional status of the patient.  A lot of amino acids can be lost during the process, and it may be difficult to replace all that is needed by mouth.

Welcome Jester,

That's the best reason of becoming apart of IHD, the knowledge and honesty here is relentless. There is almost always someone available to answer your questions here. If you try the search feature you will be able to see if there is a thread on whatever subject your looking for too.

I'll be looking forward to your involvement in IHD at what ever level you choose. Remember this site is here for you.

Hi Jester and welcome to our site.  I'm sorry your son has to deal with this at such a young age.  Bless your heart for being there for him.

I hope to move soon to a city that has Nocturnal In Center.  You go there and sleep.  I don't know how many nights a week.  Even 3 would be better dialysis then I get now at 9 hours. 

Best of luck to you.
