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

Violent coughing
I posted a few months ago about my mother in law. She’s been doing dialysis for a few months now. She has end stage renal failure with repeated fluid around the heart. She’s been doing okay, she has good and bad days. My post today is about her cough. She’s been coughing often and violently. It’s to

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

Life Expectancy
I am in my early 40s and started dialysis this year. I was diagnosed with CKD 20 years ago when I was in college and have been on BP meds for the last 10 yr. CKD affected my life since I was first diagnosed in college. There’s always an urgency to live life at fullest. It is scary with the uncertainty

Patience to Reach the Finish Line
The process for evaluation for a kidney transplant is so long and having to wait for decision from the committee who meets every Thursday about potential kidney transplant patients is very hard. The one thing putting mine off is that they’re not sure to give me a transplant since my issues with my heart
