Please have blood tests if taking medication - Pentasa.
My GP prescribed me Pentasa for my Ulcerative Colitis. I took this for approx 10 years. My GP never requested any blood tests in this time. This medication was slowly killing off my kidney function. In 2017 I was admitted to hospital with a 9% kidney function. I stopped Pentasa and my kidneys improved

Scared, confused
Hello, I am new to the community, 71-year-old female with stage 4 COPD and CKD, GFR 22. How does dialysis affect COPD? I am confused about the GFR numbers and the need for dialysis. My doctor keeps saying at GFR of 15 you need to go on dialysis. But here I see people with numbers as low 8, 6, 0r 2 just

I’ll also be having thoracic exploration (VATS) for the first time, I have been warned this is

Gallbladder issues
I was just curious to see how many members had issues with their gallbladder? I know of two friends who have had kidney transplants and they both had their gallbladder removed previously. I myself had my gallbladder removed the same year I was diagnosed with kidney disease. I suffered with gallbladder

Prolia
I have been advised to start with Prolia injections. I have osteoarthritist, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease and lupus. Is there anyone who can tell me what to expect?

Hi is it normal to be switched from “acute kidney damage” to “renal failure” even when kidneys still function & lab work from clinic is good
Still urinating normal amount, nothing odd about it. Went over a week without dialysis when my chest catheter malfunctioned and had no ill side effects Labs seem to always be “good” news or at least that my numbers are within the clinic’s liking.

Heart Failure
I contracted Covid in March and at which time I was also diagnosed with AF. I have had several Doctors and Hospital appointments and each time my Medications have been increased changed and most recently one tablet removed. I find it slightly unsettling each time a medical professional refers to it

Your experience with going on SS disability
I am looking into leaving my day job and going on SS disability. The cancer center that I go to has a guy who is fairly new in his position as a disability specialist. When I talked to him, he told me that because of the nature of my diagnosis and treatments (stage 4 metastatic pCa, Gleason 9), I would

Heart failure vs kidney disease
My heart failure specialist nurse has requested my Dr. To put me back on lisinopril medication which I was taken off 3 years ago due to kidney problems. It would appear my Dr is loathe to do this so am now between the devil and deep blue sea. I still certainly have akd and the specialist nurse indicated

prostate infection
I asked my doctor if I still have prostate infection. He said no but no testing was done. ( I still have a prostate gland not treated). I was treated for an infection most likely around the age of 35. Doctor would do DRE collect prostate fluid under a microscope and treat with anti-biotics of some
