STRESS I KNOW I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE STORM BUT MY UNCLE IS NOT WELL
My uncle has some serious health issues his kidneys are not working he is on
dialysis
3 times a week. He was in the hospital for a month. Then you know how you can’t stay there that long and they basically kick you out to a place to help you get stronger, well he did not like it there.

Outlooks
Reading peoples comments on here it seems to me that the medical community in general is not much interested in kidney disease till
dialysis
or transplants; whereas patients would like to begin to avoid those things for as long as possible.

I am preparing for both
dialysis
and a transplant. Hoping all goes well. I am encouraged to see there are a lot of folks who have had successful transplants.

Immunosuppressants
I would visit with kidney
dialysis
patients. Many were willing to put up with rigors of 3 x a week
dialysis
at a center, rather than a transplant. Many were afraid of after a transplant and what kind of quality of life they would have.

dialysis
.

Tired..
I eventually went on
dialysis
and then received a transplant 5 years ago, only to find out a virus got to the kidney and damaged it. It still works, not great, but it has kept me off
dialysis
, which is great.

Dad moved back in the ICU with new pneumonia infection, kidney failure, septic shock. Feeling helpless and defeated
His kidneys also weren't working so they had him start
dialysis
2 days after he was admitted into the ICU (he has a semi permanent catheter now). He was actually recovering quite well, and on Feb 13 they were able to switch him to just an oxygen mask.

Kidney transplant recipient
When I was 10 I was but on peritoneal
dialysis
until I got my first kidney transplant when I was 13. That kidney lasted for 4 years and I was put back on
dialysis
. I had my second transplant April 21 2016.
