--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My mother is diabetic and has been in dialysis for the last two months. Her numbers are fine. Her Neph has been considered remove her from dialysis. Right now she is at the hospital with an infection and occasionally fever. I do not know what kind of infection. I have been trying to get her off the reuse dialyzed but the center is refusing. I will have not alternative but proceed legally. This is the 2nd time she has an infection. I heard that reuse dialyzer are dangerous. She has a jugular Cath but what I am more concern is that her legs are swelling and we do not know what can be the reason. <
