Dad moved back in the ICU with new pneumonia infection, kidney failure, septic shock. Feeling helpless and defeated
His kidneys also weren't working so they had him start
dialysis
2 days after he was admitted into the ICU (he has a semi permanent catheter now). He was actually recovering quite well, and on Feb 13 they were able to switch him to just an oxygen mask.

Kidney transplant recipient
When I was 10 I was but on peritoneal
dialysis
until I got my first kidney transplant when I was 13. That kidney lasted for 4 years and I was put back on
dialysis
. I had my second transplant April 21 2016.

Mother in ICU for bacterial pneumonia.
So she was put on
dialysis
and taken off it after a few days as her blood was less acidic. She has been woken up from sedation over a week now and is just starting to become less confused.

TransplantS
He said he had been very poorly for and had been on
dialysis
due to kidney failure for 12 months and told he would have only lived for 8 more months. He was on the Donar list and five years ago had a pancreas and kidney transplant no more injections and all that goes with it.

Where to get wide ranging advice before starting Dialysis
The renal consultant is now advising that RG is at a CKD of 4-5 and
dialysis
is looking to be very likely. I have discovered that most of the hospitals in our area do not have pre-renal unit counsellors.

Feeling depressed and despair. Torn between love and being a mother. My dilemma.
I have been with my fiancé for 4 years and he has end stage renal failure and is now doing
dialysis
treatment 3 times a week. He has been doing haemodialysis for almost 2 years now.

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.
