A successful scan!!
I had an 8 week scan this morning and had convinced myself it would be bad news after an mmc back in April. But my little wigglebum was there, strong heartbeat and growing nicely ❤️ such a relief after weeks of anxiety! I know it's still early days but it was measuring perfectly and just looked so strong

How Do I Choose a Kidney Transplant Center/Hospital?
I live in the New York Area and my kidney function has gotten to the point where my nephrologist is recommending me for transplant. In my initial research, I found information from the NIH and Kidney Foundation indicating that one’s choice of transplant center can make a difference and one should be

In response to a question
If you are a transplant candidate that’s the best way. In my case I just don’t qualify as I also have kidney and liver failures. Ultimately hospice care is my best option after fighting with these.

normal creatinine decreased GFR
I have a normal BUN/Creatinine but my GFR is down to 57. Not sure how long its been low I haven't been getting regular blood work. I do not have underlying health problems other than high cholesterol.

Urinary tract infections?
Is anyone else having lots of urinary tract infections? I have to control constipation or I get severe bladder infection that cause septic cells in the urethra. Taking miralax helps, but I still have frequent urinary infections. Any ideas?

Nebuliser query
Hi there, I’ve just started using a nebuliser for my amikacin antibiotic. While using it I noticed it was going on a bit long. Once I checked I noticed the chamber had some foam build up, clearly I hadn’t rinsed it well enough. That has mixed with the antibiotic. Should I potentially worry about this

Urine retention
I told my urologist that I saw a little blood in my urine. It only happened once, but 5 weeks later and after 2 negative urinalysis tests, he insisted on scoping my bladder for tumors (none seen). While in there, he showed me scar tissue in my prostate from radiotherapy and cryotherapy. I never had surgery
