Low BP preventing transplantation

WifeofDialysisMan profile image

My husband had kidney cancer in each kidney 5 years apart roughly 20 years ago. He had partial nephrectomies on each kidney. In November 2022 he progressed to Stage 5 CKD and had to start dialysis. He has low BP and is medicated to keep it up. The transplant team reviewed his case and said they cannot transplant him until his blood pressure is "normal" without medication. We are searching for natural ways to increase BP. Thank you.

Step at a time ... Dr Gundry. Best wishes

Apologies...my assumption was that husband was using high blood pressure pills. That caused me a problem...so I have to avoid these pills in the right healthy way. But, I'm realising there will be other pills which remain necessary. Still recommend avoiding leaky gut etc. As per Dr Gundry. May need things like MTC to lift energy. Bit like coconut oil, oddly enough. So plan was to avoid BP pills. However, ...

Might add dehydration can cause low blood pressure. Water may need to be at right time? Barbara O'Neill; Salt and water; 3quarters. Dr Gundry; Water low pressure mention
