Harvey Wells Doing Well after Kidney Transplant
By Peter Laird, MD

Harvey Wells, the traveling NxStage patient opening the doors of his RV to dialysis patients across the country recently underwent a renal transplant and is going well. Harvey has single handedly opened dialysis patients to the home dialysis option in his personal testimony and hands on demonstrations.  Take a look at a recent video in the Wall Street Journal that chronicled Harvey's journeys.

  http://online.wsj.com/video/advances-in-home-hemodialysis/56F6A89D-8051-4221-BDCB-73513110A487.html

Harvey credits his kidney transplant to the good health from using the NxStage System One for the last 4 years.

I certainly don't think I would have been transplant material if I had stayed in-center for 5 1/2 years.  I probably would never have gone for a transplant if it hadn't of been for NxStage.

We wish Harvey the best in his newest renal replacement and look forward to his continuing testimony to optimal dialysis options.

God bless and get back soon Harvey.
