This has been around for a few years, but nice if it can give a patient some day time back in their lives...may not be an answer for everyone, but for those who can participate this could be very nice..BD
UNION GAP, Wash. -- Toting her son's Harry Potter blanket and the movie "Hairspray," Lisa Marie Cozad prepared for bed recently in a strange new setting: a kidney dialysis center.
Cozad, 33, is one of a handful of Yakima Valley patients with kidney disease who has been invited to try having her blood cleaned while she sleeps three nights a week at a clinic operated by DaVita Inc., a national chain of dialysis centers based in California.
Cozad, who has been on daytime dialysis for 11 years, is hopeful that the relatively new technique will give her more time and energy during the daytime with her two sons, ages 11 and 13.
"If it's all Medicare, it's pretty cost-prohibitive," he said.
