Dialysis
Got discharged on monday afternoon as my
dialysis
machine and solutions all arrived on Monday morning. Adapted quite well to doing it on my own at night and having the nurses coming in visiting me every day to check up gives me that extra peace if mind that I like.

Pros and cons of PD/dialysis in general?
6 - Finally, the social worker at the
dialysis
center said as we were leaving that 95 percent of
dialysis
patients start in the ER after becoming deeply, urgently, sometimes psychotically, ill. Is there any warning about when one is entering this phase?

11 GFR, CKD5/ ESRD, preparing to get on Dialysis or looking for donor
Per my Nephrologist, there is nothing that can be done to reverse my condition, except go on
dialysis
or find a donor. Please connect if you are in similar situation.

Mammogram Call
She has
dialysis
, had a lobectomy for a lung tumor, and this would be just too much. On top of that my sister is dealing with a lot. I feel like I cannot handle things anymore. I hate seeing my mom sad and getting all of these anxieties everyday.

One year post transplant (recipient).
I was lucky to have avoided
dialysis
completely and was so impressed with my care at the University of Rochester (N.Y.) Medical Center.

Not Sure What All the Lab Results Mean???
This site has given me hope as some on here have gone 5 years or more without starting
dialysis
. I got my blood pressure under control by quitting smoking 9 months ago.

CAPD and night sweats
I have been on peritoneal
dialysis
for nearly two months. While things are going well in general, I am suffering from occasional excessive sweats. I wake up with soaking bedsheets and pillow, soggy hair and general sticky, sweaty body. Can anyone throw light on this condition?

Barely making it to the toilet....
I am stage 5 waiting to start
dialysis
. I noticed today that I was peeing more and barely making it to the toilet. I have also had a lot of cramps in my toes. I am not dehydrated but my feet and toes are acting like it. Has anyone else experienced this in late stage?

I want my father to have my kidney, but he doesn’t want to accept it, please help!
The center is giving him the vancomycin every time he has
dialysis
. Sorry for the long explanation but we’re not showing any worries (dad, mom and I) and we are really nervous about it.

dialysis
today as the catheter is only fresh.

Daemons and gratitude
The specter of
dialysis
loomed in the corner along with other fears of the complications that could arise. Fear had won. I unleashed a torrent of tears. Why am I sharing these depressing thoughts with you all?
