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.

How long is the wait at your tx center? Are you also seeking a living kidney donor? Share what you're doing so we can learn from your experience. I am also happy to share some ideas with you. Let me know how I can help and we'll keep the conversation going!
