WELCOME
Although you may dialyze at home you don't have to be isolated. NxStageUsers is a patient organization who supports and advocates for home dialysis. Although the main focus is currently for those on the NxStage home hemodialysis modalities, it is open to all patients, caregivers and those just interested about receiving more information about dialysis in general. NxStageUsers is more than a discussion group; it is proactive in its support and advocacy for the home dialysis patient community. The group is dedicated to being a true "family" where all people are treated equally and with the utmost respect and provides a comfortable setting for sharing our mutual interests as we travel the same road of home hemodialysis. Our members are both dialysis veterans and newcomers. Why not join a group where you have the freedom to say what you want and learn from others doing the same treatment. Why not share what you have learned so others can benefit? Together we can make each other's life more fulfilling. And you won't have to feel like you're all alone!
