so, I am currently at satellite and I knew that they did not always get the exact numbers down on the run sheet that happen during treatment, but it never was a problem for me in the past. I am very active in my treatment there because I would not feel safe other wise, but it's to the point that I need to change because I can't stay on top of it. I'm wondering what people experiences have been with what company with in-clinic hemo.

I'm not sure what your are asking?  I can't really see the machine so I ask them to read me my numbers but I have to trust them.

Welcome to the forum d-man.
Please go to this site and enter your zip code, for example if you are in 94086, this could be your Satellite dialysis center and other nearby facilities where you can do some comparisons.

Newbie caretaker, so I may not know what I am talking about :)
Caretaker for my elderly father who has his first and current graft in March, 2010.
Previously in-center hemodialysis in national chain, now doing NxStage home dialysis training.
End of September 2010: after twelve days of training, we were asked to start dialyzing on our own at home, reluctantly, we agreed.
If you are on HD, did you know that Rapid fluid removal (UF = ultrafiltration) during dialysis is associated with cardiovascular morbidity?  http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=20596
We follow a modified version: UF limit = (weight in kg)  *  10 ml/kg/hr * (130 - age)/100

How do you know you are getting sufficient hemodialysis?  Know your HDP!  Scribner, B. H. and D. G. Oreopoulos (2002). "The Hemodialysis Product (HDP): A Better Index of Dialysis Adequacy than Kt/V." Dialysis & Transplantation 31(1).   http://www.therenalnetwork.org/qi/resources/HDP.pdf
