timing of your medication monitoring blood tests
good morning all and thank you all for your kind and caring responses to my previous question. My query today is: has anyone ever found that having a blood test close to methotrexate day (or within two weeks of having a wee Drinkie…) impacts the liver reading? I normally ensure this doesn’t happen

Another cancelled Rheumy appointment - UPDATE
I decided to phone to Rheumy Nurse Helpline as I I was concerned about the 3 months gap between blood tests, due to cancelled appointments. She agreed this was too long and I now have an appointment for blood test tomorrow. She also told me that I should have had a phone call 3 weeks ago to give me

Was very pleased when this was suggested for my heart

for which medication treatment is restricted by my
kidney
disease. (Yep. I'm a bit of a wreck !) Now the date is approaching and I'm having cold feet. I'd greatly welcome hearing of others' experience, hints, tips etc.

Apprehensive
I have had Furosemide added to my prescription due to fluid retention in my feet and ankles, due to mild heart failure associated to persistent AF. There are loads of side effects associated with it. GP says we have to monitor kidney function closely as I am stage 3CKD. Just wondered if anyone on here

How long to hold off dialysis?
Hello! My dad's kidney function is around 12% and has been for a couple months. He recently had fistula surgery so he'll be ready for dialysis after it fully heals. He'll be 86 next month and I'm concerned about the emotional and physical toll HD will have on him. I've been reading some articles that

High Creatinine
Hi Ladies, From two months now I have my level of creatinine going up (130). It's probabely due to toxicity of all my previous treatments. Despite of drinking a lot (2 l per day) it doesn't drop. Today I have a CT with contrast which my kidneys will have to metabolise. As my cancer progresses very

Supplement for strength and energy
My husband (79yo) has been declining more & more over the past several years. He had RALP 2014; RT 2016. Since 2028 radiation cystitis with gross hematuria has not given him a break. He's now getting HBOT treatments (40), finally. But has no strength or energy. Are there supplement drinks and/or

COVID VACCINE MANDATE
My ex husband is in need of a kidney. He has been evaluated at 2 separate centers but they refuse to list him unless he gets the COVID vaccine. This seems an unreasonable requirement since the long term effects of the vaccine are unknown in kidney transplant patients. He will be looking into other

Does Tacrolimus cause forgetfulness for anyone?
I recently was speaking with a recent kidney transplant recipient, and he has memory lapses, sometimes forgetting conversations he's had. His nephrologist said it can be the Tacro as it is one of the possible side effects. He's being switched to another medication. I had not heard this, and just

Vasculitis of the eye
I have vasculitis of the eye and have steroid implants in the eye. Now the ozurdex implant is wearing away and the oedema is back in the eye. The immunosuppressant ( metothexrate) which is I was using for 16 weeks has not managed to stop the oedema. Till ozurdex was present, oedema was at bay. Now that

Dad admitted to ICU with Sepsis on 31/12/22
my dad was admitted to the ICU on New Year’s Eve, he’s had pneumonia, strep a and sepsis, he’s currently got the Trachi and is on the kidney filter machine. The doctors are saying that they need to sedate him 100% now so he can get the rest he needs as everything is failing on him. They’ve talked about

now joining the blood pressure meds gang
I’ll be 71 in May so think I’ve done extremely well to avoid having to go onto BP medication until now! I’ve been prescribed Indapamide & been told to have bloods redone in 2 weeks time to make sure it hasn’t affected my kidneys. ✌️It doesn’t as my kidney function is currently fine. My cholesterol

GFR levels post transplant
hi, anyone got any idea as to what their GFR level, or creatinine or urea levels in blood were 2 years onwards post Tx. I was shocked today to find my GFR is 32 and until now no one has ever uttered chronic liver disease Stage 3b. That can’t just happen over night and GFR results hasn’t been listed
