The “If Then Else” statement is the most basic logical construct used to control the flow of logic. This conditional statement can be found in most programming languages. I am applying it to my current Dialysis Situation which follows:
On 11/30/2023 as scheduled I showed up with my fluids in hand to turn in for my Adequacy test. My dialysis nurse Cindy had a “sit down” with me and we discussed where I am and where we will go should the adequacy test not improve. Here’s what I found out: If Kt/V falls below 1.7, which mine has, to 1.56, and what we have tried to bring it back up to over 1.7 doesn’t work, then in all probability I need to go onto Hemo. Thus, If not over 1.7, then Hemo.
If I go on Hemo, I will stay with my current team at Fresenius Granbury, TX, undergo 4-6 weeks of training MTRFs, some with my spouse. They use the NxStage, System One S for home Hemo, which at this point is what I plan on doing if need be. It is a five day week, three hours per day activity. At some point I will need to have a Fistula placed in one of my arms.
It is what it is.
