Dialysis or transplantation
According to my nephrologist I have
CKD
because of genetical legacy. And it seems to be true. My sister had a similar diagnosis. In her's 23 she went to PD. It was in middle 2000's, local dialysis treatment was not so developed as now. She needed PD procedure 4 time a day, pretty incomfortable.

body pain
My husband, 67, was just diagnosed with stage 4
CKD
after 5 days in hospital due to uncontrolled blood pressure. Due to prostate putting pressure on kidneys. He has plans with a urologist to address this and I will be calling the nephrologist in the morning.

Paying for Dialysis
When you get the news that you have
CKD
money may not be the first thing that you think of but it should be the second thing as paying for treatment can be more of a life disruption than the treatment it self.

Vegan diet?
I'm sort of taking for granted not all dieticians are well-versed in
ckd
nutrition. Besides that I do have one question ... why does my back hurt sometimes and not others... is it a warning of something happening. Many thanks for any responses. I've learned a lot from this forum already.

Feeling anxious about appointment....
Is this all a sign for
CKD
? I'm 32 and fairly active and healthy. What will happen at my first Nephro appointment?

ckd
the chart this is classiclassified as stage 2

Age 80 bypass needed
Hi all, my age is 80 and I may have stage3
CKD
. I have to have a meeting with a Heart Surgeon to see if it’s safe for me to have triple bypass and replacement valve. Anybody been through this at this age I’d love to hear how your recovery went.
