Medicare and Transplant
Thankfully, he didn’t have to go on
dialysis
. We were preparing for that and was told the
dialysis
center would be doing the Medicare paperwork. I’m concerned that we’re going to miss the window of opportunity to sign up. Especially for the cost of the transplant surgery.

Father not waking up after septic shock
He was critically stable and on ventilation,
dialysis
and on heavy heart medication (noadrenaline). Later we found out he had to be revived too for 10 minutes. Time went by and he got more and more stable each day.

Please I would appreciate some honest feedback - I feel now that I don't really have a chance of avoiding
dialysis
- my next blood test is due in Feb 23. I am so scared now - what have those doctors done to me.

The thought of spending the next few years either at work or on
dialysis
with no social life or a chance to go on holiday is really soul destroying. Sorry for having a rant. Just when you get your head around all this @#%@ ..its one step forward about 10 back 😞😞.

Reducing phlebotomy in hemodialysis patients
Is there any kind of advocacy that would permit physicians to submit lab draw requests to outpatient
dialysis
units. I have found my
dialysis
unit is very reluctant to do this even though the physicians making the request are in the same hospital system.

Initial Transplant Eval
I went along with her to
dialysis
during my summers for a couple years, then she received a transplant in my freshman year of high school. I don't recall any restrictions for distance. We lived 90 minutes from the transplant center; the same transplant center I just visited.

Nausea and dizziness CKD stage 3b no albuminuria
I am worried sick that this is a prelude to the inevitable heart attack, a fate that awaits most non
dialysis
patients in stage 3b. I have alerted his PCP who has not responded yet. Looking for advice and feedback. Thanks, grateful for this forum.

PD - Back in the Saddle again - A Valentines story
I go in Tuesday (Valentines day) to find out how the labs that they took last week show my
dialysis
is working. I had to do a 48hour urine collection, and then take a sample from an effluent drain bag and take it in to the clinic. This will let us know if my prescription should be adjusted.

sister in induced coma.
She is on a ventilator,
dialysis
, blood pressure meds, so many wires and machines. It’s breaking my heart. My dad has barely left her side. Slept for 2 hours if that in days. The plan is to bring her out of sleep and see how she goes in another day or so.

I am on In center HD for about 6 weeks and I hate it. They say that HD removed toxins from the blood. Can someone tell what toxins it removes from the blood? I know it removes potassium and phosphorus and sugar. What other ingredients? I will highly appreciate the info. Thanks

GPA and RA or Fibromyalgia
It caused kidney failure and I was on
dialysis
for about a year. My kidneys are now at 30%. Over the past 5 years, I have had more and more body aches. Of course I’m 71 years old and I know that doesn’t help but I feel like my symptoms go beyond the age factor.

New to PD - questions
Hello everyone, I have recently been diagnosed with IgA nephropathy and needed to urgently start
dialysis
due to my GFR being less than 10. I am currently in my training for PD and had some questions: - when you started showering with your exit site exposed, did it sting a little?

Snow Queen... ha ha ha...
I just feel a sense of urgency to be active on the list and to have surgery if I need it, before I would need to be on
dialysis
. I'm guessing some of you have felt a sense of urgency to get on the transplant list.
