Wegners disease and kidney function

Anyone out there with an auto immune disease that resulted in acute renal failure had any renewal or seen an increased kidney function over recovery time. If so , how many months after diagnosis. I have had another vasculitis flare up and back on a shed load of steroids.

Lupus life insurance is it possible!

Hi everyone, it’s been a very long time since I’ve posted anything on this forum. Hope you’re all as well as you can possibly be, if not I hope you feel better soon. I have a question for you all and although it’s through the possible worst pandemic this country has been through, I would like to ask

Immune suppressants?

Im not seeking any medical advice with this question. Do any of you know why some of us, post transplant, take different immune suppressants? I take 2 mg of Advagraf (slow relase) once a day. Others that i have met on the liver unit that were transplanted around the same time as me, December 2019, or

Kidney Biopsy and igA nephropathy (UPDATE POST-BIOPSY)

Hi. I am due for a kidney biopsy next week and wasn't given much tips on what to prepare or not do post biopsy other than stay in bed for 6hrs. Doctor told me that I might have igAn based on my proteinuria and high hematuria. I am very concerned as I am only 24 years old and a female trying to start

Sleep problems

I am late stage four kidney disease with a GFR of 20. Recently I have had difficulties sleeping at night and wonder if that is common with people at my stage. If so what do you do about it as it adds to the overall feeling of fatigue. My doctor says I am too old for sleeping pills whatever that means

From ana positive in past to ana negative??

I have always been ana positive in the past and my recent one was negative which puzzled the rheumatologist, as I have been suffering from increased inflammation which showed in my bloods. I have been feeling dreadful and she says it's due to increased lupus activity. Has anyone else had this happen

Vitamin D Toxicity Update

Okey, for those who haven’t followed my posts, my nephrologist's nurse practitioner discovered that I had vitamin D toxicity this past summer. It resulted from a medication they had prescribed to treat a secondary hyperpararhyroid problem I’ve developed. They were supposed to check my vitamin D level

Kidney failure following liver transplant

I'm now 7 weeks post transplant and my liver is working perfectly, but at clinic this week my kidney blood tests were elevated to moderate (stage 3) kidney failure. Is this common following a transplant and is it something that will improve or continue to be a concern or get worse? P.s. I am diabetic

Would you recommend the use of sauna for someone with CKD or Kidney transplant? Any good experience?

I have been reading a lot about the benefits of infrared sauna in general about health(cardiovascular, inflammation, cognitive, hormonal). Some studies mention benefits to the kidney function (http://europepmc.org/article/MED/17267744). Before buying one I would like to know if anyone had positive results

confused over GFR readings

Roughly a year ago a blood test revealed my gfr as 82 with the comment stage 2 chronic kidney disease. This initially alarmed me so I googled it and was reassured that this is normal for my age (72). It also implied that it wouldn't ever get back to a higher level. A couple of weeks ago I had a routine

CAPD & Epilepsy

Hi, I have epilepsy and CKD stage 5, in the U.K. transplants are on hold because of covid-19. I have been put on CAPD as temporary measure as egfr is 9! I have noticed that when I’m on my second or third drain my epilepsy comes on I go blank and I struggle to think. Apparently there is no known link
