Dad had Cardiac arrest with Hypoxia
The first day with my dad being in ICU they stabilized his Blood pressure, started
dialysis
, put him on ventilator in which he was breathing over the ventilator, sedated him heavily And started hypothermia treatment. After two days my dad had an MRI done and we met with the neurologist.

How Do I Handle My Severe Stress?
My husband has diabetes and kidney disease with projected
dialysis
beginning in 2 to 4 years. He's been on a low carb diet, lost a lot of weight, reduced his insulin significantly, when suddenly, almost overnight, his creatinine levels went bad.

LIVING WELL WITH DIALYSIS
Now and starting in October 2019, I have not skipped even once my
dialysis
and did not short any of my
dialysis
treatments and have been always staying the full 4 hours treatments! I can not describe enough how, going to
dialysis
and getting full treatments, have made in my life!

Nephrotic Syndrome
Following two Rituximab infusions, I am on
dialysis
since 8 months. My albumin has improved. Can I come off
dialysis
if the neprotic syndrome improves? I am not diabetic and continue to pass urine. Thanks in anticipation for your input/advise.

Fibro referrals
Put on meds which subsequently made me very poorly, ended up in renal failure and was moved to a hospital out of area with a renal team and
dialysis
unit. Was then referred to their rheumatologists in case it happened again.

Anyone in Stage 4 with a fistula?
He was upset that the kidney specialist I saw did tell me and he had to explain everything to me about
dialysis
and fistula. He say he can lower my pressure but once he does I will be on
dialysis
because my kidneys will not be working as hard to pump.

Do anyone need Hemodialysis Home Supplies?
Hi everyone, We are newly home from a liver and kidney transplant and have a large number of
dialysis
supplies that we no longer need. We had just ended our first week of home
dialysis
when we got the call for the transplant. The supplies are new and in unopened shipping boxes.

Kidney Ultrasounds and other tests....Lessons to learn from
How long til
dialysis
? How long can you live on
dialysis
? Lions, tigers, bears...OH MY!!! But WAIT!...I found some REALLY old test results back from 1996. My creatinine levels were 1.2 twenty four years ago, which was within the reference range. That's right, 1.2.

Dialysis
Once And After 3 Months, His Kidney Size Returned To Normal and His GFR has Been Within 85-92. Then This New Year January He Did An Egfr Test His Results Was Still In 85. But I Noticed He Has Swollen Ankles. What Could Really Be Wrong.

technology for the generation of new kidney tissue
Benjamin Dekel of Sheba Medical Center could make
dialysis
a defunct treatment through the development of advanced technology that allows for the generation of new kidney tissue to replace damaged tissue.
