Metallic taste
I have a few numbers now to call gotten from
dialysis
centers so I may have a dietitian soon that I can work with. While all this is happening. I developed an upset stomach two days ago and yesterday a metallic taste in my mouth.

Cystinosis and Fanconi syndrome
Cystinosis and Fanconi syndrome I was diagnosed when I was around 2 years old,. basically the cystine cells attack the vital organs (in my case the kidneys and the thorax) I was on
dialysis
for 12 years before receiving a transplant last year.

Just had the operation for a fistula what’s the earliest you can start using it for dialysis
Hi I had my fistula operation 3 weeks ago and just had my blood results back and my GFR is now down to 6, I have an appointment with my consultant next week but wanted to ask what is the earliest you can start using a fistula, I know it normally takes 6-8 weeks to mature. I am worried that I won’t last

Has anyone had kidney problems after heart surgery ?
I underwent surgery for a leaky mitral heart valve in September and unfortunately suffered renal failure which meant I was on
dialysis
, until my kidneys recovered. Has anyone else had the same experience ?

Brother age 56 in ICU with Covid and has sepsis, is on dialysis and has had an internal bleed in his bowel.. Is this normal for severe Covid
He has sepsis, is on
dialysis
and has had an internal bleed in his bowel.. Is this common in severe Covid? We are terrified as we just don't know if this is what is expected.

Patient doing fine in spite of Kidney readings alarming since 3 months
When she was tested Hb was 7 eGFR 5 and creatinine serum at 93 Nephrologist decided to try medicine treatment instead of
dialysis
as against her readings she was apparently looking better She got blood and medicine and kidney diet Hb came to 11 however the eGFR and creatinine serum remained constant

Your Favorite Renal Nutrition and Dining Out Hacks and Tricks?
One of my tricks to limit fluids (I am on
dialysis
) is that I have an 8 oz. protein smoothie in the morning with no more drinks the rest of the day nor evening. However, what I do is to suck on ice cubes the rest of the day and evening as needed. This has been effective for me.

Using Old Prescription Vs New Prescription for Dialysis
Now the new acid jug does not follow the new prescription, the
dialysis
tech had disconnected the patient from the machine and continued with the new prescription.

Mad at myself
My Dr told me the time to begin
dialysis
varies and sometimes people can stay off for a while with healthy , I'm still very scared. I'm really mad at myself for not being proactive enough -half way watching diet and little exercise.
