Nephrostomy

Hello and welcome to the group, although sorry to hear of your wife's nephrostomy problems. I can't help as no experience of this, but hopefully someone will be along to advise. Could I also suggest you post in he Kidney Cancer Group where others will have experience of this and will give you a wider audience to help. Best wishes.

I had a nephrostomy bag for about a year. I found that I didn't need a night bag, but I would suggest getting in touch with your wife's clinical nurse, who could probably get you in touch with a urinary diversion team. Plently of products our there to help along with useful tips and the team are usually a great help.

• Hi Peleton

sorry to hear of your distress over the night bags, my husband hasn’t come across this problem, (he has bladder cancer 4 & CKD,has bilateral Nephrostomies)his day bags are connected to his night bags which are on a frame outside the bed,there are different suppliers of Nephrostomies bags maybe the day bag & night bag are not compatible & that’s why they are leaking past the connectors,my husband suppliers Nightingales are excellent. hope your DN can help. 
Best wishes hope all goes well xx
