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.

Blood work after changing meds and losing some weight? Thoughts?
Hello all, thoughts on my lab results appreciated: TSH, High Sensitivity <0.01 L 0.45 - 4.50 mU/L T4 Free Non-
Dialysis
2.0 H 0.8 - 1.7 ng/dL T3 Free Non-
Dialysis
3.1 2.0 - 4.8 pg/mL I changed to 125 Unithroid (50mg cause they have no filler) and 10 mg of t3 I have also lost 19 pounds in the last

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.

All of our stories are very unique to each person, however they nearly all end up on the same path - -
dialysis
, transplant, ect.

Itching and Fluid Retention
I am on PD
dialysis
and doing well except for the itching that I am experiencing in my back area. Also, I seemed to be retaining extra fluid. Could this be my diet? Any and all advice would be great!

Your body is incredible. How connected to that are you?
For me, having had a total of 10.5 years on
dialysis
, 7 of those as a teenager & two kidney transplants, there are so many ways to integrate, heal & remember our inner strength. Yoga is one cohesive system that I love. There are so many ways in. Ways in to remember who we are. What lights us up.

Partner with pancreatitis, now on a ventilator, 5 week old baby at home
He’s on a
dialysis
machine too. We were told his lungs heart and kidneys were failing. He had a drain put in yesterday to get rid of some old blood. And they let him try to breath a little on his own too but put him back on the ventilators as it was very tiring for him.
