Peritoneal dialysis catheter block
Hi everyone, for those on PD, have you had any catheter complications or blockages and how were they resolved? My father suddenly started to have his PD fluid drain bloody two weeks ago. We notified the nurse/dr who are both unresponsive and just assumed it’s a burst blood vessel. We requested a sample

seeking a kidney donor
My name is Deepti and I am 35 years old . In April 2024, I was diagnosed with End-Stage Renal Disease and now rely on peritoneal dialysis (PD) 7 days a week. Dialysis is exhausting and restricts my daily activities . I hold a Masters degree from Purdue and work as a Data engineer in Silicon Valley

Anyone on peritoneal dialysis?
Hello, My father is 83 years old and his eGFR is now 8. The doctors want to start the process for home peritoneal dialysis overnight. We are feeling quite anxious as a family and I would appreciate your support. Can anyone offer their experiences on starting PD, physically and mentally how they feel

Post Transplant psoriatic arthritis treatment
So, here goes! I'm 48 and just "celebrated" 3 years Kidney-versary September 14th! I have PKD and was having a lot of pain and other issues before, so even though I was still around 17% function I was listed for transplant. I was very fortunate though to have a living donor come forward to donate and

It's been eight months since I found out I will need a transplant
I made a post about eight months ago titled, "Just found out I need a kidney transplant" soon after I got the news. I was mostly worried at the time about whether my mom would be able to be my donor and who would take care of me/us after the surgery. I can now report, my mom cannot be my donor, and I

Questions
The time has come when I need to make a decision about whether to go with hemo or peritoneal dialysis. That brings up many questions. If on peritoneal dialysis do you ever get a decent nights sleep or are you constantly awakened with alarms pain etc. Is the machine very loud - I have a hard time

The Queen is ready!
Hi everyone. It has been a while but I'm still here just haven't had time to get on and make a post. My latest thing is a few weeks ago I found out my parathyroid is acting up so the doctor put me on cincalet to see if it will help me. He did mention that surgery may have to happen if it doesn't adjust

Home dialysis concerns
My husband was diagnosed with end stage renal failure in May 2024. He was going to a dialysis clinic 3 times a week for his treatments. Last week we started the home dialysis training process. As the caregiver I’m really nervous about this, afraid I may be able to do it or may harm my husband during

Time for diaylis
Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I was on here, mainly because although my kidneys have been declining, the rest of my bloodwork has been fairly stable. It's funny though this time, I went for bloods. I felt there would be something wrong. I'm incredibly itchy, have leg cramps, frothy urine

Hi everyone… I’m 36 years old male from Australia and have kidney failure last month. I’m currently on dialysis. The average wait time for kidney transplant in Australia is 2 to 7 years. My doctor told me i can get transplant early due to age factor. My question is that can someone explain their transplant

Dialysis the only Option??
My husband had emergency surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm which lasted well over 9 hours, as a result the blood flow to the kidneys was tied off and they are not working at all, GFR 6. The hospital has placed him on 3xweek dialysis, they are not offering any other options, are there any? They have

PD to HD
Hi everyone. A few months ago I talked about how my exit site was getting infected and how my doctor referred me for a fistula surgery for HD. Oh well, I had the surgery last week Thursday and I’m home healing a little at a time. I’m still doing PD and I have to wait for 2 months or there about to heal
