Hi all! This is Dan Garver in Virginia. I learned that I had kidney disease in 1990 and started on peritoneal dialysis in 2005. I received a kidney from a deceased donor in 2009. Unfortunately, my transplanted kidney appears to be failing. My latest eGFR was 13. I have a fistula ready to go if I need to start hemodialysis. I am looking forward to joining the conversation on this website, sharing my experience, and learning about everyone's issues with kidney disease.
