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.

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.

Some renal dietician commentary on very low protein + keto acid diet.
Tackle the disease in a preventive (as in prevent or delay
dialysis
) fashion. 3. She put me through my paces re: my motivation. She seemed to want to be sure this wasn't a passing fad before she put in the effort.

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.

Issues with traceostomy and agitation
My sister has not had any issues with her other organs, or
dialysis
or sepsis etc. She had bacterial infections but responded well to antibiotics. No new infection as far as I am aware. My sister had a traceostomy last Wednesday.

He had a home visit from his Renal Nurse to begin the conversation about
dialysis
. I would be interested to know of any publications which use easy language to describe/explain to him the process of preparing for and receiving
dialysis
.

Group Newbie
I also have kidney failure and do
dialysis
. They’re trying to get me to move my catheter from my chest to my stomach so I can do home treatments. Has anyone done this? It seems more convenient! I’m so glad to have found this group. Thank you!
