Living Donation and Blood Pressure
I am considering offering to be a live donor for my father who is about to go on
dialysis
. I am 50 years old and very healthy; however, whenever I have my blood pressure checked it is around 130-135/80 which I guess is technically categorized as stage 1 hypertension.

Dialysis vs. Transplant Survival Rates
I am considering offering to be a live donor and am trying to understand the difference in potential survival rates if he were to remain on
dialysis
vs. receiving a live donor transplant.

Interesting comment
Will I eventually need to have
dialysis
and a kidney transplant? Do I need treatment to prevent my kidneys deteriorating further? I have never had any symptoms of kidney trouble." "Your chance of deteriorating into end-stage kidney failure, and therefore needing
dialysis
, is less than one in 100.

After Three years I am been taken off my medication for my illness Anca vasculitis.
I was diagnosed with Anca vasculitis I was on plasma and
dialysis
and put on three chemo tablets and steroids . The steroids blew me up and one thing I never liked was the Catheter bag For my kidneys nothing else bothered me.

Went from Stage 3 to Stage 5 in 2 years - low protein diet?
My old nephrologist retired and my new doctor wants me to start
dialysis
, but I told him I'm not really symptomatic yet, just a little itching and a little tired if I don't get 8 hours sleep. I told him I want to stay off
dialysis
as long as possible, but he doesn't seem to listen or care.
