Praying for a miracle
Now he has other serious issue with his blood pressure because of the stress of going to
dialysis
. Due to this they took both of his kidneys out in February. Didn't help like they had hoped. He is now on
dialysis
6 days a week and his quality of life is non existent..

Declining GFR
My doctor is waiting for me to tell him it's time to start
dialysis
. I work full time and I am wondering what the recovery time is when you have the peritoneal port put in? I have my bad days, but so far, I am hanging on.

Scared of my dialysis center
Been doing
dialysis
for almost two years. I do real good with it. But where i go is horrid. The techs are brutal mean. I have bruises in my legs where they rammed me with chairs and I have been bruised for months.

"The goal, whenever possible, is to avoid dialysis completely. ...
"When this is not possible, the goal is to shorten the time on
dialysis
. As a transplant candidate, it is not in your best interest to not make getting your transplant a priority. The longer you wait, the greater the risk of losing a transplant eligibility."

Dad has stage 5 CKD
My Dad has chronic nephritis and now he is down to only 14% function which puts him at stage 5 :( The Dr is not suggesting
dialysis
, my dad is 86 and has not really asked why it's not being offered.

Wondering about Social Life in HD Centers
I am 64-year-old man with a long history of dealing with CKD and
dialysis
. I started doing peritoneal
dialysis
in 2005 and continued until I got a transplant in 2009. I think I was probably lucky that I didn't have to wait longer.

Yes, there is such a thing as a "living donor".
There are so many questions to be asked and answered regarding kidney disease,
dialysis
& donating. Check out the link below for some info on increasing living donors! https://transplantfirst.org/increasing-living-kidney-donor-transplants/

No hope and we don't understand why
The oncologists stated that he could end up on
dialysis
, to which I answered that I was sure there were people with kidney disease or even on
dialysis
who were being treated.
