My husband’s peritoneal prescription was for 2000 when he used the machine overnight. Does that help?

@rollimag Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Wow, your husband was doing only one manual bag a night, but using the cycler bag of 5000 cc? That was a lot of dialysis fluid going to waste each day. Is there a reason he was not doing manual exchanges?

You mention "was". Did he get a transplant? When, and where, please!
