in the dark, anxious and exhausted.
I’m my husband’s carer. He’s 74 and entering stage 5. We don’t have a friendly, communicative consultant. What is best for carrying out dialysis? I read about bad issues with a fistula. What questions should we ask the consultant please?

Colon cancer symptoms but ended up being intestinal parasites.
I would like to tell my story in hopes that it might help someone. About 7 yrs ago I started getting really sharp pains in my lower leftside of my stomach. As time went by "when I say time went by, I mean 3 years" the sharp pains started to become more frequent and a lot more painful. Sometimes dropping

Randi Needs a Kidney
My name is Randi and I live in Maine. I have had kidney disease for many years. Over time my kidney disease has gotten worse, causing my kidneys not to work well enough to keep me alive. My treatments at this time are limited to dialysis or a kidney transplant. I have been on dialysis for some time now

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

Kidney Transplant
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

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
