Dialysis working too well, hard to find donor
Hi, I started dialysis (PD) a few months ago, trying very hard to have a sense of normalcy. The problem now is.. I look better with the PD (less tired and less foggyless). Also, starting to get used to how to spend my days and fit events in between PD exchanges (i'm still on manual). The problem I have

What is it like after transplant?
Want to know from a psychological perspective, what is like to receive this new gift of life? - Do you worry about how long the kidney will last? Do you feel like there's limited time to do what you want in life? - If living donor, do you feel an emotional obligation to the donor? Or that you have to

World Transplant Games
So many dont even know this exists and it's the most amazing thing ever. I helped as a volunteer at both the British Transplant games in Newport in July and the World Transplant Games in Newcastle in August. I've been doing home haemo for 6 months now and I had the most amazing experience at the Freeman

PD Dialysis Question
Hello. My mom was on Hemo dialysis twice a week for about a year. Her doctor thought PD dialysis would be better for her, especially with her active lifestyle. So she started PD dialysis a week ago and we noticed her getting bloated. We found out today she gained 40 pounds in a week....which we all know

Hello I'm 2 years post transplant and over the last 5 or 6 days, when I wake up I've had a dull ache towards the right hand side of my lower back. I went to see my GP yesterday and she had a little feel around and she seems to think it's muscle related but I asked for a blood test form and got that

Creatinine vs gfr
I was just curious if anyone’s had their nephrologist say the creatinine only is more important then Gfr? My creatinine is 340 and my gfr is at 14 and he says I’m still going to be a while away from a transplant. He says that my creatinine would need to be more like 600 to need a transplant. They are

Transplant Recovery Equated to One Year on Chemotherapy?
One of our contributors on HealthUnlocked was told, in her evaluation for transplant by the Hospital Transplant Team, that the first year of recovering from a kidney transplant was similar to that of being on chemotherapy for a year. I have NEVER been told that -- not by my Transplant Team, PD Dialysis
