Weight gain - how to control it.
I'm now 13 months post kidney transplant. Since the transplant I have put on at least 15 pounds but it keeps going up - I was only 4-5 pounds and then it went up to about 10 pounds and then 15 pounds. Even though I try to exercise and I do watch what I eat too (my wife's a nurse so I rarely get by

Kidney failure and future treatments
Hello everyone, first of all apologies if everything is not very clear as English is not my first language (I generally speak it very well, however I'm not used to talk about medical terms). I'd love to hear about my dad's situation. My dad was diagnosed with Stage IV PC in September, 2022. PSA was

Utis and clear urine.
I dont think conventional wisdom is the answer to my question.Every six weeks i get my sp catheter changed. When the doc changed it in the cystoscopy room, twice i had clear urine and no utis. Anywhere else with that doc or nurse, i get utis and or muddy urine. I say the air is filtered better in that

This is a protein made by the liver, the level of which is measured as a part of your liver function tests. The albumin plays 2 important parts: 1. It carries molecules in the blood that are not water soluable. When bound to albumin, the molecule becomes water

Macrophages, type of immune cell, tied to lupus nephritis in children
M1 macrophages may cause more severe kidney disease in young patients Inflammatory macrophages, a type of immune cell tasked with clearing the body of harmful invaders and dead cells, may be linked to more severe lupus nephritis in children with systemic lupus erythematosus, a small study suggests.

Abdominal burning pain
Do people suffer with burning pain, a bit like IBS pain, but more constant and burning anywhere across the abdomen. I am still awaiting tests to confirm PA, but I know I have a very high pH, so almost no stomach acid, which is obviously causing the pain. I eat a varied diet, not much in the way of processed

Liver transplant vs kidney transplant
For those who have had both, could you let me know if one was "better" or "worse" than the other? I had my liver transplant Sept 22, and though initially recovering well, had a bout of CMV which went on for a long time, and over the last year struggling with poor kidney function, which is currently

Dialysis or transplantation
Hallo everyone. I want to start form little story. According to my nephrologist I have CKD because of genetical legacy. And it seems to be true. My sister had a similar diagnosis. In her's 23 she went to PD. It was in middle 2000's, local dialysis treatment was not so developed as now. She needed

Update- Moderna Spikevax
Just to update. Received blood result and all within rang with the exception of Lymphocyte count which 3.1 only slightly over range. CPR 4 g/L, ESR 2. Which rules out PMR flare. So onwards and upwards, definitely downwards with Pred.-so pleased. I am now wondering whether the muscle paralysis I had

High stomach pH
I have just done a second gut microbiome test. The first one I did in August last year showed I had a score of 7.2, which indicated I have little stomach acid. The one I have just done has come back higher at 8.1 (ideal range should be 5.8 - 6.5). Does anyone else have this? Is is a good indication
