My hubby passed away and I have a months worth of supplies. Any ideas on who may be able to use them. My renal center said that must be thrown away.

Considering the cost I am reluctant to do this

So sorry or your loss. Sadly, no provider or dialysis center can take them back. You might want to see if there is a local Kidney chapter that might let you donate them back to someone... or post something on you local social media.

I'd check with medical donation centers. So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and sending lots of love!

Throw it away. It is an undertaking I know, I had to dump 30 boxes of PD bags when I switched to Home Hemo. So sorry for your loss.

It’s more the cannulas and cartridges that I’d like to see go somewhere useful. I understand the logic behind the fluids not going elsewhere. I have 80 cases each with 2 ..500 cc bags...ugh Will definitely take time to empty. I I also have diabetic testing supplies still in factory sealed boxes .....seems like a real waste Thx for the replies
