@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!

Sorry, I meant 2000 not 5000 cc overnight using the machine. He now does everything manually. One overnight for 10-12 hours of 2500 cc exotoneal (purple low glucose because he’s type 2 diabetic) and then 2 cycles of 4 hours each if the green 2000 cc.
