Severe Sweating After My Kidney Transplant 3 Years Ago.
Oct 31 will be my 3-year kidney anniversary. I take 4mg of Envarsus (Tacro) and 5mg of Prednisone daily. I am doing exceptionally well except for the severe sweating that causes me to change clothing multiple times during the night and day. It happened for a while last year. The doctors did a number

Anyone ever had endo on ureters or near kidneys? Really struggling just now
Really struggling with pain over my kidney area for the last 2 months. Been treated for a kidney infection and now on my 4th lot of antibiotics in that time. One urine sample came back in that time growing something (one wasn’t sent as too late in the day) then another has just come back clear, despite

One more to go 👍💪
I’m planning on doing my graduation run on Sunday morning. I really can’t believe I’ve got this far. Tomorrow is exactly a year since I had my kidney transplant donated by my twin sister. This time last year I couldn’t walk the length of myself and now I’ve run 5k for both of my last runs. The gradual

How about some good news~!!!
First of all, since deleting some of my medications, my GFR blood test increased from 35 to 42, maybe not celebratory but in the right direction and I'm thankful for that. Secondly, my son in Canada called last night and he and his wife talked it over and
decided (that means no discussion or commiserating

Kidney Infection
I was diagnosed, finally, with a kidney infection. The antibiotics were completed on Saturday morning. However I still have a lower back pain. It really didn't seem to bad yesterday but today, it does seem to have come back. I was on Co-amoxiclav 500mg for 7 days. Is there a chance that I needed a longer

Lab results after one year vegan
I just got back my latest lab results. I initially followed Lee Hull's book stopping kidney disease but lost too much weight so I had to modify it slightly. I went totally vegan which means I have lentils, nuts etc which is not strictly on his plan. last 3 GFR results after switch were 49,47,52. Last

Would you recommend the use of sauna for someone with CKD or Kidney transplant? Any good experience?
I have been reading a lot about the benefits of infrared sauna in general about health(cardiovascular, inflammation, cognitive, hormonal). Some studies mention benefits to the kidney function (http://europepmc.org/article/MED/17267744). Before buying one I would like to know if anyone had positive results

Creatinine/egfr levels + drinking water
I am a 70 yr old male, stage 3b, one kidney. I have read tons of articles and posts about drinking water (64 to 100 oz/day) to maintain and improve your Egfr (lower Creatinine). The consensus seemed to be this is highly recommended. I myself for the past months have followed that approach. Even

Is it age?? or steroids?? or both~~😕😕
Earlier last month my rheumy said he wanted to check my kidney function among other things and my GFR was 35 when the low acceptable number is 60. I just found out it has gone from 56,45,35 quarterly since about January. That can also affect the vision I believe. Did I tell you I'd been referred to

Tacrolimus side effects - nausea

Renal biopsy reaction
Hi Everyone, I have lupus nephritis and had a renal biopsy some 12 days ago, to investigate possible increase in lupus activity. I have since developed a new, persistent middle back ache, which radiates round to the hips. I had blood and urine tests some five days ago, but they indicated nothing unusual

What has helped you?
My GFR has been around 45 for several years but the trend is decreasing. I recently removed all animal products from my diet. After about 4 months my GFR was 42, my lowest ever. Then I added chitosan for 10 weeks. GFR increased to 46. I don't know what caused my kidney problems. I have seen that people
