Too old at 56 to donate to my 79 year old mom? Long term effects?
I am a 56 year old, active mom of 4 kids ages 17-28.

New here. From all I read, dialysis sounds horrific. Why aren’t more people stepping up to be living donors 4 family members instead?

The Queens first steps inside the Dialysis Center
Hi everyone. I went to dialysis education yesterday. It was the very first time I went inside a building I have past a million times knowing it was where people got dialysis. Going in I felt a wealth of emotions none greater than sadness. It felt suffocating and surreal to be honest. Me and my mom

Why do others think I'm stupid for helping our family member
Hello I have a brother in the hospital recovering from covid thank God he will make a good recovery he's only allowed 1 visitor for 1 hour everyday. I went to see our brother to just try & spend some time with him his wife beat me to it a few minutes earlier. He's going to require dialysis I think twice

I have been diagnosed with a very rare kidney disease since day 1 which called familial hypercalciuria, hypomagnesemia and nephrocalsinosis. Not a single doctor figured out a way to treat my condition or in other words nothing worked for me like: (sodium citrate, potassium citrate, potassium bicarbonate

PD help!
New here… Daughter on hemodialysis for 10+ years. Started peritoneal dialysis a few months ago. She is handicapped and cannot perform her own PD. My husband and I would like to hire someone to perform it for her from time to time. Is there nursing care out there for that?

Hey! Wanna be friends?
Hey Everyone. I'm simply looking for others to chat with about all of this. I want to talk about diets, sleep (or lack there of), coping with the mental exhaustion...ya know, life. I'm fairly young to the dialysis world and sometimes it would be nice to just vent without others thinking its a malpractice

Successful diet to manage CKD
By changing to a mostly vegan/vegetarian diet I may have stopped CKD progression. Having read several books on CKD, I was most motivated by one called "Stopping Kidney Disease" by Lee Hull. I have no affiliation with this author. His research led to a suggested low protein vegetarian/vegan diet before
