As I mentioned before, my blood seems to be too thick for the dialysis machines. For two days, I was clogging the tubing and filters, and setting of alarms non-stop. I believe they ended up replacing the dialyzer during dialysis because the previous one was clogged up so back. One option is to inject agatroban into the dialysis machine like they do with heparin but I think tat would be really expensive. Instead, the clinic decided to switch out to a different dialyzer. I thought it was one “standard” filter for everyone but I guess Fresenius makes a lot of different ones. I believe they said I used the different dialyzer at the main hospital.
It’s been two days and the clogging and alarms have stopped. Hopefully it keeps working since I doubt they will spend the money on agatroban for the machine.
