Hello IHD community,

A little about me:

Currently I am in college studying biomechanical engineering
My main goal here is to better understand dialysis from the patient perspective so maybe one day I will be able to help improve it.

Thanks

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

Welcome to ihatedialysis.com,

I thought you already did that study last year but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for what ever input you can say or do to improve dialysis.
