Have SCT and Just searching for answers
Hello, I'm 62 but I've had a series of medical issues and after some constant research, none of my doctors have ever attributed the issues from SCT or my hematologist flat out denies there's no correlation. My history is this: Age 11: Diagnosed with SCT (Inherited from my father) Age 11/12: Had

How much salt is good for an elderly CKD patient?
I just read a reply to a 77 years old lady advising her to keep her salt low. I wonder if it is good advice for an elderly patient according to a study reported in the periodical Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation titled "Predictive effect of salt intake on patient and kidney survival in non-dialysis

Which RLS medication also works with dialysis?
Hello everyone. First of all, unfortunately I don't speak English and have to translate everything with Google first. I hope that I am still understandable. I am 84 years old, have had RLS for a long time and have recently been on dialysis. Especially when dialysis is ongoing, my RLS symptoms become

PD abdomen HUGE
I started manual pd dialysis Tuesday and this is now Wednesday eve. Currently on 1500 ml. My abdomen is like I am six months pregnant in two days. Will that be the norm for me now? I expected some bloat but I seem to be up three sizes and hard to sit straight with knees together comfortably.

Failing kidney transplant
Has anyone over 70 had the experience of a long term transplant failing. What treatment were you offered and is it feasible to expect some form of dialysis?
