Hello everyone, I hope you guys can stand a less serious question. I've been on hemodialysis for the last year and a half. I received Vancomycin, which saved my life but took out my kidneys. So one day no kidney issues, the next day dialysis. That actually has nothing to do with my question, just

Low or very low protein diets. If you've no uremia, will you obtain any benefit?
I had uremia at CKD3a/b (uremia =higher levels of urea than there ought to be present in your blood). I was at 13.5 when the normal range is 2.5 to 7.8 (thankfully, I'm now at 6.4 due to diet). Because I had uremia at CKD 3a/b, I assumed everyone else would have some sort of uremia at CKD 3a/b. When

I was diagnosed with afib only one time during a routine checkup. It was never found again. I even bought an afib detector that I test myself 3x a day. I have never had any symptoms. With that said, I realize afib is a progressive type of issue. In view that I have great cholesterol numbers and nothing

Anxiety - Getting new kidney 10/26/21
Hello everyone! Is it normal to feel anxious, stressed and just freaked out when you've been told you have a living donor kidney coming to you? I am stage 4 and have never done dialysis. Creatinine averages 3.50, GFR averages 18. My concerns are for the quality of life and the side effects of the

Diagonized with stage 3 ckd. Creatinine level is 2.32 on a low purine diet, low potassium diet. Should I get married?
Should a ckd stage 3 male patient get married? What are the complications that might come? Will I mandatorily go to dialysis stage even if I follow full restricted diet? Age:32 yrs, male

LOW BLOOD PRESSURE DURING DIALYSIS
My husband had a stroke 7 months ago. He suffers from kidney failure. The hospital won't discharge him bc his BP drops during dialysis and needs meds to keep up the BP. Any advice on what to do?

Dialysis HEADACHE!
I get a headache almost every time I go to dialysis lately. My blood pressure goes up during dialysis and that may be the trigger, but curious if anyone else has had this issue and how they deal with it or avoid it. I tried magnesium supplements and that does seem to help.

Immunosupressant Drug Side Effects?
Hi, I recently made it to the national organ list for a liver and kidney. I am on dialysis. I am interested in knowing what everyone has experienced as side effects on immunosuppressant drugs? These scare me as they could be life long? Thanks!

My fiancé just started dialysis and he can barely do anything but sleep. Is this likely to improve?

Hints for talking to kids?
My husband is about to start dialysis (P.D.) while we’re getting him on the transplant list. We have a 4 year old and need to explain it to him in an age-appropriate way. Does anyone have any resources or hints? I’m not seeing a lot online. Thanks!

Transplant getting close to the end
How do I get back on the transplant list if my kidney is getting close to the end? Do I have to go back on dialysis first? My doctor isn’t saying much, just monitoring and having me get labs. I don’t want to wait. I want to be proactive. I’m 65 and don’t have time to waste before it’s too late. What

Face Pain Develops During Dialysis
I get sharp pain in my face on the left side only, and usually around the eye. It develops during dialysis sessions, which I am fairly new to. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I have thought of other causes, but it is clear now that it always develops out of nowhere during dialysis. The

CDB or no?
Can someone tell me if products containing CDB oil is safe for dialysis patients awaiting transplant? I get conflicting opinions from different nephrologists. Thank you! Ttampa77

Let's talk about BP and CKD. (Take your ACE at night if using it for BP too?)
Poster Gerald1967 linked to this NCBI listed article (2014) which talks about BP and natural (vs. pharma) BP control approaches. Interesting read generally, but this popped out. The journo writes it as if it's a known fact. It likely is a known fact, but just not a fact known by your typical patient
