Learn as much as possible...even if it happens to contradict what Dialysis staff tells you!
Dialysis
can be very easy to deal with. It just comes down to what foods and fluids go into the body, ..will result to how the patient ends up feeling. Learn these key factors, and the rest is downhill!

My Husband was admitted to hospital and currently on ICU.
His kidneys have failed and he is on
dialysis
. He is on a ventilator and on 100% oxygen. We feel so deflated after a phone call from the doctors. We understand they do not want to give us false hope but wanted to very kindly hear other people's positive experiences.

Really Nervous
As I get closer to the surgery to get me ready for
dialysis
I have butterflies in my stomach. Has any experience with being nervous? What did you do? I am open for ideas and advice.

Fear of Staple Removal Pain
I am anxious because nurses at
dialysis
center said I would not be given numbing meds before staples are taken out. Arm really hurts most of the time; mostly nerve pain for which I put aloe with lidocaine on to dull the pain. Has anyone had staples.

Hemodialysis
I hear one of the side effects of

is itching. If that happens is there something I can do? Open for ideas. Thanks

Pre-Transplant
I've not been on
dialysis
(hemo) since July (4 months ago) and working towards having my transplant this November. Any advises? I'm a bit anxious as to what life holds for me on the other side in terms of meds, wellness, side effects and cost. Any advise from you will be appreciated. Thanks.

Any advice? Starting PD at home in 2 weeks...
I’m interested in knowing how people have felt when they first started
dialysis
and if it made them feel a little bit worse before they felt better or if overall they felt better.

Endocarditis complications
Fluid was building up so CRRT
dialysis
was ordered. He tolerated it well and was switched to as needed
dialysis
. During his time of sedation he was still responsive and would follow commands, squeeze out hands, and blink in response.
