Gotta love that NxStage, don't you?  My labs have all been better, too.  I can have potassium again, and my phos is much better, too.

Oj, french fries, cherry tomatoes, yummmmmm!

Ok, I have to share, too...

Phosphorous 2.4   :yahoo;
Hemoglobin 11.4
Potassium 4.0
Albumin 4.2

Can't remember any of the others right now.

PO and K have always been a struggle for me. PO has run right near the 5.5 range almost since I started dialysis, so when she told me to either cut back on my binders (1000 mg fosrenol w/ every meal) or eat more PO, I had a Klondike bar for dessert that night.

K has been a struggle since the PD takes it out, and I started out low anyway, so I've been struggling just to get it to 3.2 every month (I guess those extra glasses of OJ helped. I never even liked OJ 'til I started on dialysis)
