  • Just a quick update to those who see these videos and are curious how I am doing... as of 6/11 I am almost 2.5 years post transplant and doing great. My donor is also doing great. :) I am so glad that these videos have helped to show the process of PD to potential patients. I wish everyone the best!

  • Hi this is Mark, I am the guy in the video :) 1.5 years post transplant now and I feel great. I am so glad to see that these videos have helped give a better understanding of the process of PD. I am always open to answering questions, so just email me through youtube. Remember the best advice will always come from your Nephrologist or a PD Center. A couple bits of info: my treatment was 8 hours a night, showers only, no baths, and I was asleep during catheter surgery!

    Cheers to health! Mark
