Too old at 56 to donate to my 79 year old mom? Long term effects?
She also told us that doctors recommend starting the search for a living donor (for optimal results) or she will be facing
dialysis
. I immediately raised my hand to be a donor—maybe prematurely. I am not worried about the immediate down time and recovery after surgery.

Why do others think I'm stupid for helping our family member
He's going to require
dialysis
I think twice a week so far they don't think it's kidney failure but where I work I took about 9 pictures in total with this very big teddy bear holding a get well soon card plus open.

NEW GFR POST TRANSPLANT
As we
dialysis
patients understand, it is instilled in us to watch our phosphorus like a hawk, so it is a new sensation to eat foods with abandon that have a lot of phosphorus in them! I get tired towards the late afternoon and have been resting.

Help me help my grams
I had training and gave my grams manual peritoneal
dialysis
for 30 days. She is now on the Liberty cycler and I go there every night and set her up. This is week 3 on the cycler and she wants to quit. She turns 90 tomorrow and wants to know if she will ever feel better.

Did any kidney transplant people have high antibodies
Hello I’m on the transplant list I was hoping to get a transplant before
dialysis
but don’t know if it will happen . I had one offer that didn’t work out I found out then I am going to be hard to match cause I have high antibodies. I wasn’t even aware there was such a thing.

Lupus and Heart Disease: Why You’re at Increased Risk
In fact, heart disease is the most common cause of death for kidney disease patients who require
dialysis
(not necessarily because of lupus). Lupus is also linked to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, which is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
