At a Dialysis Crossroads
I have to decide whether to get a fistula in my arm and go with hemodialysis, or go with peritoneal dialysis. I spent a couple of hours in a center talking to a couple of nurses about peritoneal dialysis and it sounds like a bad choice given its near constant presence in your life. With hemodialysis

Mucus is the cause of disease
If you don't want to end up on dialysis, read the mucusless diet healing system. Mucus forming foods is the cause of nearly all disease. There's also a Facebook support group.

Dandelion Tea Good or Bad?
Has anyone used Organic Dandelion Tea? It's supposed to be good for detox of kidneys and liver. I'm stage 5 CKD, not on dialysis, take BP meds and on waitlist for kidney. I want to try this, but not sure if I should. I've read it can be good and sometimes also bad for CKD.

Help with recovering from ICU
Help with support about seeing the room you was in ICU Hi. I was ICU for about 7 weeks and most of it I was in Coma. I have terrible memories of it and wanted to speak to someone about it. I am going through the hospital support but it’s very slow moving. I do want to clear my head but I feel that it

How do you diet when you have CKD?
Hey guys. My dad is on his 3rd year of Hemodialysis. CKD stage 5. He's a 50 years old obese and is getting worse. It's like the dialysis isn't helping his body to get rid of his fluid intake. That is however, it is very difficult for him to limit his water intake to 1 liter per day because we live in

Creatinine vs. CystatinC eGFR
I saw my nephro yesterday and asked for a cystatin C test. Now I've got two eGFRs. One is 25 and one is 36. Which is most accurate? All the articles I've found go over my head. I found one that said the margin of error for both tests was high. My eGFR based on creatinine rose from my low of 5 to

Does anyone else have a horseshoe kidney?
Is there anyone else on this site or does anyone even know anyone who has a horseshoe kidney? There are no support groups or even doctors who have a clue. I am not a candidate for transplant due to the way this is formed. They said once I go on dialysis I am pretty much numbered as short timing it.

Still here.
I have been to my appointment this afternoon and I am still a bit shellshocked. My ultrasound showed as clear but the biopsy showed really bad damage to my left kidney. He wasn't sure what was causing it but it wasn't diabetes - it is either kidney infections or high blood pressure. My water sample showed

Can't Relax
Hi I feel so stressed right now. I am going through a tough time right now. I can feel the tension in my body. I just can't switch off. Before dialysis I would have a really hot long bath with lavender oil but I can't even do that. Is there any relaxation treatments or techniques suitable for me as I

My story. I had CKD 3 then Kidney failure went on dialysis over 5 years then a friend donated his kidney and I received a transplant 2020.
I was asked for my story. I am afraid my entire story is too long for a website loI I have a tethered spinal cord from birth but was not caught til I was 25. Had two surgeries that did nerve damage. I caused a neurogenic bladder which refluxed into my kidneys for years and was not caught. Long story

Transplant and keeping Medicare after esrd Medicare runs out.
I found posts that were very helpful about being on the esrd Medicare then receiving a transplant. After 36 months they say you lose Medicare if you are not 65. I will be 62. I heard that once notified of Medicare ending you can stay on Medicare under a transplant Medicare. Please does anyone know

Regrets
I received my transplant on 11/30/2021. I've had so many issues with it since. Between constantly feeling like crazy and not having any energy my care team doesn't give me individualized care. It's like they are working off a check list. I'm ready to have them take this kidney out and go back to dialysis

Help with poor appetite
I have had kidney disease for a while now and I'm also on dialysis. I have never had a good appetite but now I feel like I'm hitting a new low. I just don't enjoy food anymore, I wouldn't eat if I didn't have to. The portion sizes I have are tiny. I have lost 3kg in 3 years. I need to put weight on before
