Patient Scrapbook: Dominic Harper
Two days before his kidney transplant and only a few hours after his Hemodialysis, Dominic was riding his brother's tractor. Most of the time after his dialysis treatment he napped, but this day he decided to play.
10 days after transplant Dominic was walking for exercise to maintain his weight. Dominic loves to walk. He walks almost everyday (unless the weather is not good for walking) and even did so when he was on dialysis.
Dominic was diagnosed with ESRD as an infant (March 1996) due to infection.
Type of Treatments:
- CC/APD three weeks old to July 11, 2000
- Hemo Dialysis July 12, 2000, to February 12, 2001 (his last treatment before his transplant occurred)
- Kidney Transplant: February 12, 2001, to present
