Dialysis Nurses Trying to give unsolicited medical advice
At my
dialysis
center I currently use a permacath due to my graft that I've had for 6 years stopped working. Tried having it declotted. But, they don't last forever. The Charge Nurse keeps hounding me about a new access. I've had 2 PD pumps before both after the graph.

PD Diet
I felt good for staving off
dialysis
for 3 years! I really started this post to ask about the cottage cheese, but I got carried away. I've had a rough time (financial issues: car, air compressor, car again x 3) the last few months.

Forever Grateful!!!
We are getting ready to do PD
dialysis
at home but this entire ordeal has been so surreal. I can't thank the National Kidney Foundation and Davita's
Dialysis
enough for the help and support they have given and shown us over the last 1 1/2. My heart is so full of appreciation.

Looking for ways to find a kidney donor
Of course this is ridiculous, but she got spooked and pulled out and now my uncle, who has been on
dialysis
for several years, is in need of a kidney again. I don’t know where to begin to try and help find him a kidney, other than posting it on social media. Is there a better way to do this?

Stage 5 CKD
Now I am waiting on transplant testing / my GFR to fall to single digits for a transplant or
dialysis
. Is there anyone else currently in Stage 5? (or even late Stage 4) If so, can you describe a normal day or what you experience in regards to pain / difficulties?

GFR of 8 but Ultrasound states no abnormalities
The specialist is informing us that her kidneys are only working 8% and she needs to start
Dialysis
ASAP. Should there be additional testing that we should be doing before starting
dialysis
? She has has the blood test done twice and now the Ultrasound. Should we ask for an MRI?

Kidney Donor & Blood Pressure
She’s been on
dialysis
for a couple of months now. I’m a match and I’ve passed all the other tests; however, I was told that I need to get my blood pressure down first before I can get the final approval. I workout regularly but I love to eat. And the amount of stress at work will never change.

New to post any am worried also I have CKD Stage 3 but doctor says I am fine for now. Don't understand that
Shouldn't my doctor have me seeing a kidney specialist - can I have
dialysis
with only one kidney or see a dietitian for a proper diet. I worry all of the time but doc says I'm okay.

Doctor and/or Dialysis tech Burnout?
The only cure off of
dialysis
is a transplant. But in California its 10 years at least. Thats like having cancer for 10 years. Innovation hasn't changed in 60 years, its super expensive and time consuming, taxpayers are paying
dialysis
costs through medicare.
