If only it were to be approved by the FDA, but I think there are too many issues such needle dislodgement that needs to be studied.
There is still no reason why your nephrologist cannot write for extended or nocturnal off label. All I can suggest is if they say no, then keep on them researching the benefits of longer dialysis with hard proof articles. and Dont let down... keep on them about it and it is your right to have the best quality and currently, you are not recieving the Best care possible.

"Keep on them." is a double-edged sword.

At first, you look active and involved and interested.

Eventually, they start letting you know that they're sick of hearing about it, dialysis is what it is and why are you questioning, and start making noises about being noncompliant and ignoring medical advice.

Not all doctors are great.
