What is the required temperature at a Dialysis Center or Facility?
Our friend kept getting pneumonia and being in a freezer taking
dialysis
I believe contributed. Can anyone answer this question? What is the degree a Center/Facility should be? Does anyone know? Where do I go for answers?

Does anyone have a good plan that pays well for
Dialysis
? I would appreciate any feed back.

Fistula or Graft
I have to go back on Fri the 20th to redo it on a non
dialysis
day to see if a fistula would be possible. Otherwise I’ll have to get a graft. I’m not sure
dialysis
affected my vein size that much as they don’t take all that much off.

kt/v Question
Howdy, first post. 2 years in
Dialysis
, usually after the
dialysis
session its around kt/v is 1.5 - 1.7. Lately last few weeks it goes into the 4.0-4.3 range. It's Saturday so I can't call the doc. Does this mean I'm crashing or miraculously my kidneys are a tad better?

Return to dialysis
As I’m 77 I don’t know if
dialysis

Adequacy collection test to see how well your dialysis prescription is working
My adequacy last time was 2.1 I know it needs to be 1.7 or above. I do PD manually. Just wanting to know what is a good number and how often you do the adequacy test Thank you

The dialysis journey continues at home
There is such an adjustment when you start being on
dialysis
in itself alone. Then you add all the maintenance and set up on top of it and YIKES. For anyone considered home hemo, I still recommend it highly.

Need some support from fellow travelers
All the patients were either on
dialysis
or had been. The horror stories of how things are in center is disgusting. But everyone expressed concerns about the mental issues that are not dealt with in
dialysis
, no matter what modality. I need advice.

What a week!! (Starting HD, continued)
I had just spent 3 days in the hospital getting in-patient
dialysis
for my first three rounds. Low Venous Flowrate, but they seemed to handle it, and ordered a Fistulagram.
