Is There a Gut–Kidney Axis?
In CKD stage 5, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), patients must be on permanent renal replacement therapy such as
dialysis
. CKD is characterized by increased protein fermentation, uremia, altered microbiota composition, and intestinal permeability.

Post Kidney Transplant since December 13 2017.
I suffered for 20 plus years of IGA and luckily found a Donor before going onto
dialysis
. So far everything is going very well, the lab reports and adjustments they are having to do as this Kidney keeps learning is working great.

Brother approved for retransplantation
He is currently on
dialysis
and also treatment for low blood pressure as a result of the liver failure. We must all now be patient while we wait for a liver to become available. I do feel guilty that essentially someone else will lose their life and another family suffering heartbreak.

Vasculitis – GPA
I had 8 Plasmapheresis, numerous
dialysis
, and since October 2017 I now do daily in home
dialysis
using my peritoneal membrane. My kidneys produce urine and that’s about all they do. It appears my nephrons were damaged by the ANCA that attacked the major blood vessels in both of my kidneys.

Problems with a certain dialysis nurse.
I've been having problems with a certain
dialysis
nurse. She is very unprofessional. Shes rude to me snd a couple other patients. She doesn't wash her hands like shes suppose to and I've noticed her stripping machines of their tubing and disposing of it in the biohazard box.

Has anyone with GPA - vasculitis gotten their kidneys back?
I was diagnosed on March 18, 2017 and have been on
dialysis
ever since. I currently do CPD
dialysis
while I sleep. I really want my kidneys back, but I am ready to give up on that hope and get my transplant process going.

Why do we cramp after dialysis & how come Drs want to suck out every ounce of fluid in the body especially what is needed in our bones
I've been sick all my life so living with a transplant is my norm not living on
dialysis
. I will be 57 on Feb 11th & don't know how I should feel. I want my independence back but living on disability is very hard. I need to move & want another car but that is not going to happen anytime soon.

Chronic kidney disease stage 3 - help
I don't feel like the doctors have given me enough information, and am worried I may end up on
dialysis
at some point. I'm only 41, so not particularly old. Anyone with any advice would be appreciated Thank you x

Dad has kidney failure and I'm very concerned
Hi all, My Dad who is 68 yrs old has been told to go through
dialysis
. His serum creatine levels is 8.1 and Blood urea is 135. He is currently in India and I am in the UK. I am worried that he won't be able to come and visit me!

My aunt in ICU on multiple machines
Due to mutli organ failure they have placed a ECMO, CRRT and a
dialysis
machine. The doctors are talking about pulling the plug in two days. Should she have more time??
