Metallic taste
I would appreciate some information on a newly developed metallic taste in my mouth. Everything was going along well: got my BP stabilized at near perfect levels, my last gfr 4 weeks ago went up 1 point from 24 to 25 and my creatinine went down 15 pts to 1.89 Nothing spectacular but as my kidney doctor

I was just told by nephrologist about a week ago that he wanted me to start dialysis. I have no idea what to expect. I still feel fine and have no symptoms other than being a little more tired than usual. My appetite is still good, a little minor swelling in my ankles, and I still urinate the same

Issues with traceostomy and agitation
My sister has been in ICU since 26th Feb 2021 after contracting COVID. She has been on a ventilator and initially needed high levels of oxygen and pressure. Doctors were not optimistic about her chances of surviving. My sister has not had any issues with her other organs, or dialysis or sepsis etc.

Dialysis with type 1 diabetes: what does it mean for life expectancy?
I was wondering what it will mean for a family member who will start dialysis and has type 1 diabetes. Is life expectancy significantly shorter for him than for people without diabetes?

What are the risks of a type 1 diabetes going into dialysis?
I was wondering if it reduces your life expectancy significantly to go on dialysis when you have type 1 diabetes vs not having diabetes

Cystinosis and Fanconi syndrome
Hi, I asked this question a while ago but I thought I would try again since it’s been a while to see if there was anyone else in this community who has these illnesses. Cystinosis and Fanconi syndrome I was diagnosed when I was around 2 years old,. basically the cystine cells attack the vital organs

Diabetes Type 2, PD and Berberine
Diabetes is a common disease that affects many Americans and 90 to 95% of diabetics have Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). I will be discussing T2DM and one option to help deal with it effectively based on multiple studies. Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is significantly less common so I will focus this discussion

Father of son with Iga Nephropathy
My son is almost 44. He suffers from Iga Nephropathy. He received his first peritoneal dialysis treatment last night. He is on transplant list. His wife is accepted to be a donor. Hopefully a paired living donor match soon.

Brother age 56 in ICU with Covid and has sepsis, is on dialysis and has had an internal bleed in his bowel.. Is this normal for severe Covid
Hi my brother is in ICU now for 2 weeks on Ventilator. He has sepsis, is on dialysis and has had an internal bleed in his bowel.. Is this common in severe Covid? We are terrified as we just don't know if this is what is expected.

Mad at myself
Late January my bp shot up soon high I had to go to the ER. Labs there showed my eGGS was 22; within a month it went from 22-17-15-13. My nephrologist has explained why. I have an appointment for ultrasound and then vascular surgeon to get fistula. My Dr told me the time to begin dialysis varies

Has anyone had kidney problems after heart surgery ?
I underwent surgery for a leaky mitral heart valve in September and unfortunately suffered renal failure which meant I was on dialysis, until my kidneys recovered. Has anyone else had the same experience ?
