How Sleep Apnea Differs in Women
At the 39 minute mark of this podcast there is an interesting piece on how sleep apnea can be different in women and the overall AHI numbers may not be the best measurement. Apparently women often have an issue with REM. This is exactly what happened in my sleep study. I had a large number of apneas

Dialysis
So this time tomorrow morning I'll be checking into hospital to get my catheter fitted so I can start dialysis in 6 weeks time. To say I'm bricking it is an understatement, been absolutely fine through the whole thing except the weekend when I had a wee wobble. It's a step into the unknown but one I

What is the difference between “normal” tired and dialysis tired?
I have heard that you get tired and weak after dialysis so I’m asking if the tired I am feeling is a tired after dialysis or am I just normally tired? I hope that made sense

I AM ON STUDY TRANSPLANT LIST
I signed up at my Transplant Hospital to be one of the study participants in the hep C+ deceased kidney transplant recipients. The transplant doctor said it could be three days or 70 days until I receive a kidney, but it will not be waiting four more years on the Wait List. I was put on the Wait List

Dialysis/transplant advice
Hi Everyone, I'm new here. I was just told I need dialysis and to be put on a kidney transplant list, but I'm not feeling any pain or fatigue. I had kidney failure 22 years ago due to massive kidney stones in both kidneys. I know by blood pressure needs to be controlled, but I've been on a safer

2nd MRE Score....
Hi, I hope everyone is doing well for wherever they find themselves in their PBC journey❤. Last year in November I had my first Elastography test. My Kpa score was 3.14kpa. My hepatologist didnt seem concerned. My most recent blood tests are about the same, everything normal except my fluctuating Alkaline

Not a happy end
Don't post much but thought I'd share with how things are going, all my results show that my lupus is going in the right direction but unfortunately my kidney function keeps declining. Been burying my head in the sand regarding dialysis. Fast forward 2 weeks I now have a pre assessment booked in and

How to read blood work to know u r doing ok in dialysis?
Hi Before dialysis, I mostly focused on the GFR number to know how I am doing . Now that in dialysis, how do U know u r “doing well”? I am not seeing significant changes yet on BUN though not sure if I am not doing enough exchanges or whether that this number doesn’t change much.

Dietary Restrictions to Prolong the Life of a Kidney Transplant
It has been found that if patients substitute soya or some vegetable source for the animal proteins they normally eat and severely restrict the amount of salt they normally consume they can significantly slow the decline of renal transplants. From personal experience I can say that such a diet really

CKD, Dialysis, and Hair Loss
Has anyone experienced drastic hair loss (shedding in the shower, breakage when combing), especially since switching from PD to hemodialysis?

Stage 3A7,?
Hi there, I’m writing as a lay person on CKD so thought someone could provide insight. My mother in law is visiting from the Philippines and we’ve applied to sponsor her. The government won’t approve if she’s likely to need dialysis. She’s a diabetic (on metformin), her serum creatinine is slightly elevated
