I'm not on dialysis but have been working on the financial side of the business for several years so I don't have any direct experience - BUT. If a person is ESRD and living with another who is not, can the healthy person act as the other's kidney during the night by a continuous blood exchange? Granted this would assume there are no other complications such as hepatitis and would generally work only for a husband an wife. Logically this seems possible.

Interesting... and as a side benefit, it would ensure monogamy since you would have to sleep with your own spouse every night!  (ESRD couples have a really high incidence of break-ups and divorces-- something like this could help reverse that trend!) |
