Waiting for a kidney transplant in Washington, DC
I've been diagnosed with kidney disease and currently on
dialysis
for 3 years. Also, I've been on the kidney transplant waiting list for 3 years at the GWU TRANSPLANT INSTITUTE. Since then, my life has been totally changed.

Son
He went into a treatment of
dialysis
and chemo for 6 months. It did not work. Now, he is on the waiting list for a new kidney. His father and I started the process to see if we can donate a kidney. It has been a up and down road not only for my son but for me.

BTW: For those just recently put on

or anticipating same, you have an opportunity within the first 6 mos. from the date of starting
dialysis
to "buy in" to a Supplemental Insurance policy (before you are 65 yrs old) and that in some financial hardship cases, AKF will help by paying the

CKD Stage 4 to End Stage progression timelines.
My query is to learn from experience of others with similar signs as to how long can kidney function be preserved to avoid
dialysis
. Or is it inevitable to stop progression to End stage CKD.

Age 62 CKD stage 5 egfr 5 and Creatinine 10.32. Not on dialysis yet
Our nephrologist has yet not said anything about
dialysis
. Should
dialysis
be started not because egfr is very low? My father does not have any other problem like hypertension or diabetes. But he is getting very weak now and feels lots of fatigue. Please give suggestions

Don't Give Up Hope - Miracles Do Happen .... Surviving ECMO
Then the second day in ICU, we were told she needed to be placed on
Dialysis
due to her kidneys now shutting down. They plumb the
dialysis
into the ECMO machine. So we left ICU and after getting home, got a call to say that something went wrong and the ECMO machine shut off for 3 mins.
