Partner has Portal Vein Thrombosis - Any Advice Please?
As the specialist rightly put it a transplant followed by ongoing
dialysis
is not a good outcome.

Clinic Nurse Deliberately Shortening Treatment Time - What can I do?
My mom has been on
dialysis
for about two years now, but she just started at a new clinic (DaVita) in Virginia. My mom suffers from very low blood pressure during and after treatment, so we’ve found that a slower, more gentle, and longer (4 hour) treatment works best for her.

Stage 5 renal failure plus dialysis and cirrhosis of the liver
Wondering if anyone else in the world is dealing with these two together. My husband is, and we're scared. We're hopeful, but doctors don't know how this happened other than being diabetic for decades. Never a drop of alcohol, but a heavy meat eater. Diabetes is in control, A1C too, but hemodialysis

Down the rabbit hole I go.... the follow up to my journey
She goes on to say that your nephrologist wants you to start
dialysis
asap. I came back with, "What about the BMI condition if I start
dialysis
it has to be below 40? She replies with, "we want actually a lower BMI but the transplant team has agreed to your BMI even with
dialysis
."

Very worried
I am on EGFR 7 on PD
dialysis
. For the last couple of months i've been getting these sores on my face. They start very small and then get large very quick and itch. I'm just getting fobbed off from doctor to doctor and they state it's an allergy.

Dialysis also help with lung fluid removal??
My 86-year-old Father is the one on
dialysis
. He recently had pneumonia and evidently has fluid in 40-50% of his right lung. I have read that
dialysis
can help pull fluid from other body areas, such as the lungs, than is typically considered. Anyone had experience with this?

Starting Dialysis
My Husband, age 79 , will be starting
dialysis
in the next few weeks. He has chosen Hemodialysis in a center. Can you give me some honest tips about what to expect?

some great news….
Of course there was renal damage and at birth the nephrologist basically said he could need
dialysis
and a transplant within a month or a few years, time will tell. we just returned from our fourth visit to Cincinnatti children’s hospital, which has a dedicated PUV clinic and specialty care.

Fibrin in peritoneal dialysis drain fluid
Hi all! I’m back again with a concern regarding my dad who started PD in July. Recently he is having some fibrin (white chunky strands) in his drain fluid. I did some research on it and it’s associated with elevated fibrinogen in the plasma which is furthermore associated with bad outcomes in all of

The Truth about Home Hemodialysis
She is Ex-Army with I believe over 20 years of
dialysis
experience. She is no nonsense and that's just fine with me. And the other is my Med Tech. We just love her to pieces. She also has multiple years of experience. I train with my husband in a private room.

induced coma - how long can it take for a loved one to come around?
She is currently on a ventilator,

Financial burden
since I started
dialysis
, I have had to cut down my working hours to just 2 days a week as I don’t have the energy and time anymore due to my countless hospital appointment and treatments.

Next appointment in 6 mo's & says, while there are never any guarantees, but as long as I continue this path he can't see me ever needing
Dialysis
. OMG, Praise God. I've been so scared these 6 Mo's (and more), not having any guidance is a real stressor & since I have no family, no support.

Can surplus/leftover dialysis supplies be donated to others?
Hello everyone, I recently ended Peritoneal
Dialysis
as I was blessed to receive a transplant just a few weeks ago. I have surplus supplies (solutions, hardware, sterile gauze pads, etc.) that I am hoping I can donate to someone who could use them for their
dialysis
treatments.
