I’m also worried that this will lead to pregnancy complications in the future and
dialysis
needs in my 50s/60s. Has anyone been successful as maintaining this level for decades? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

PD Dialysis Issues - Can't Catch a Break
I felt fine prior to
dialysis
and since starting my life has been pretty much non-existent from either sickness or complete lack of energy.

My creatine number has risen and I know
dialysis
is on the horizon. I'm just trying not to worry about it but guess what. I do. I guess I'm human. I hope that when I do go on it I keep a piece of my sense of humor.

abdominal pain with PD catheter
I’m not doing
dialysis
yet, since GFR is sitting at 15. I am on a transplant list. I also had a hysterectomy a few weeks prior to getting the catheter since I needed to make room in my abdomen, I have polycystic kidneys with an enlarged liver.

How to find a donor
It's stage 4 and I think it needs a transplant (as to avoid
dialysis
). I am not able to find a donar in my close circle. What are the other options to find?

CDC analysis finds more Staph bloodstream infections in Blacks, Hispanics and people with chest caths on dialysis
A new CDC study finds statistically significant inequities in staph infections by race and
dialysis
access. One major take away is to get that fistula or graft early enough to avoid having a chest cath.

Dialysis

Beta Blockers such as Carvedilol
I've been on medication for basically my entire life, and for the most part I've never had an issue but I recently started
dialysis
again, and I was put on all these blood pressure medications. I've been experiencing hair loss. One of them, Carvedilol, is a beta blocker.

I will say this to anyone starting
dialysis
, be your own advocate. What I saying pay attention to the clinic doctor and staff. I had an incident when, they had me on the paperwork as a diabetic. I'm not diabetic they also have the wrong, kidney doctor on patient portal.

5+ months post transplant🙂
Of course
dialysis
has side effects too. If I find myself dealing with bone pain long term, I’ll wrap my brain around that and do my best to manage it.

Developed ARF after taking sulfa drug, spend about 4 months on
dialysis
. I’m stage 4 kidney disease with GFR of 25. I was told I can qualify for transplant but would love to find some other way.. Live Rural Nebraska and going to
dialysis
is problematic.
