Dialysis Alarm
I am having dialysis at home. I am deaf and do not hear the alarm when the machine malfunctions so wake up in the morning with dialysis not completed. Does anyone know if there is some sort of vibrating alarm that could be connected to the machine,

Did anyone here know that Sleep Apnea can cause AF?
hubby has had AF for 3years.not really doing well. Originally it was off and on. Didn't see a consultant for 2years as he had left for Machester(UK)Cardiology. Finally it all came to ahead and has had 1 ablation (failed) in May 2022. Put on amiadarone till next ablation August (2022). That failed

Time for Dialysis?
My current kidney function is at 17% and I recently got added to a transplant list. My nephrologist is telling me that it's up to me when I start dialysis. I'm trying to figure out when is the right time to start. I definitely feel fatigued most of the time, but I just push through it. Some days it hits

LOSING HAIR.....AGAIN
A few months after being diagnosed with CKD, I noticed my hair was falling out (as well as becoming more straight, instead of curly/wavy as it had been). My Neph said it was typical and that hormones in the kidney determine texture (i.e. straight, curly, etc.). I talked to the Neph about taking Biotin

Hi is it normal to be switched from “acute kidney damage” to “renal failure” even when kidneys still function & lab work from clinic is good
Still urinating normal amount, nothing odd about it. Went over a week without dialysis when my chest catheter malfunctioned and had no ill side effects Labs seem to always be “good” news or at least that my numbers are within the clinic’s liking.

Traveling to France and Germany
Hello all! I have a wonderful opportunity to travel to France and Germany in early October. It’s been a dream of mine to travel abroad but I’m overwhelmed with all the paraphernalia I have to take; medicines for my asthma, emergency meds, cpap, etc. I’m unsure of the weather during that time and other

Ureteral stricture after transplant with no success after attempting stent and ballooning
Hello:) I just had my third kidney transplant in December. I had multiple pre transplant day long meetings to decide the best option for me having a third transplant and it was decided my fiance would donate and we would do paired exchange as a live donor and planned transplant would be for the best

Splish Splash for the Queen
I went to the nephrologist last week. He said I'm stable so I can return in two months. No dialysis yet. I'm thankful. I also go to the transplant center at the end of the month for my last few tests. An abdomen x-ray and a stress test. A little nervous about the stress test. I don't want to fall out

Can You Damage Your Ablation Work By Over-Exertion After 5 Months?
I had a Cyro Ablation on March 16 of this year so it has been 5 months. (Today is August 19.) On April 13, I was taken off Flecainide and then put on a two-week Zio monitor on June 30 to see how effective the ablation was at least at that point. On June 23 I had one Afib episode lasting about 4 hours

Kicked off List
Has anyone on here been kicked off the transplant list for not going to dialysis all the time??? I don't always make it due to different reasons like not feeling well, nauseous, diarrhea etc. Who wants to go sit in a chair for 4 hours when you don't feel good enough to get out of bed? My one kidney

In a bit of a quandry
Hello - if you were me would you concentrate more on keeping your kidneys going without dialysis and all of the special diets or would you spend good money on going to a sleeping pill detox so you could sleep naturally at night. I suffer with both and it is making me very depressed. I may not be allowed
