Prazosin - Trial of One (Me)
To my surprise my urologist readily prescribed Prazosin to replace Tamsulosin, after reading the retrospective study that Bruce SF supplied me with and I forwarded to my Doc with my request to change drugs. As a trader I always look at risk and reward, this one seems to be a no-brainer, very little

Choices for dialysis
Recently diagnosed with stage 5
kidney
failure
so trying to decide on which type of dialysis will be best for me. I live on an island 15 miles off the Maine coast. No dialysis clinics or facilities on the island which is only accessible by an hour and 15 minutes ferry ride.

The link between bradycardia and hypothyroidism
I had a successful Cardioversion via my previous surgery/private cardiologist some months ago but have been struggling in the last couple of months with bradycardia (bpm low 50’s ) ache across chest and episodes of falling asleep when I don’t feel especially tired (could this be syncope?) Im aware

Finally got the Diagnosis!
Hello everyone. I am around here for 2 months now. I must say, it has been a horrible 2 months. Lots of nightmares, unnecessary operations... But today here I am again, writing to you from Copenhagen. I actually moved despite every negative development regarding my disease. I would like to start with

Prazosin - Game Changer?
BruceSF sent me this message and it looks like a game changer for those trying to prevent recurrence, to me: I’ve been taking Prazosin for 4 years since my radiation therapy, it is a drug that helps urinary flow (same family - alpha blocker - as Flomax) and lowers blood pressure and still have an

Microvascular decompression
Microvascular decompression gladly took away my pain of Trigeminal neuralgia. I may have to do it again in six months, but we’ll see.

Time for Dialysis?
My current kidney function is at 17% and I recently got added to a transplant list. My nephrologist is telling me that it's up to me when I start dialysis. I'm trying to figure out when is the right time to start. I definitely feel fatigued most of the time, but I just push through it. Some days it hits

Lupus and renal involvement
I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2020 and am being treated by rheumatology and gastroenterology for 'mild' lupus characterised by joint pain, oral ulcers, fatigue etc etc. However, I have recently begun to think that in fact I may be in the early stages of renal involvement. My urine is frequently frothy

Kidney transplant medication side effects
Hi Everyone... hope you are all off to a great summer. I've been going through testing to see if I can be put on the kidney transplant list. They do SO many tests! Whew! My gfr fluctuates between 11-13 and has gone to this number fairly quickly. After meeting with the pharmacy side of a transplant

Surprise with obinutuzumab + venetoclax treatment
In addition, maybe because of CLL, I developed
kidney
failure
. In 2020, the decision was made to start treatment with obinutuzumab + venetoclax due to: very large spleen; wbc - 175; hgb - 10.5.

What do my results mean
I recently got labs done and noticed my EGFR went down from 72 to 59 in just 9 months. 4 years ago I did get rhabdomyolysis which did affect my kidneys which got them to 60 egfr than slowly went up to 72 but now the sudden drop is scary. I have had Protein in the urine for a couple years it shown 2+

Help with test results
Hello is there anyone in the uk (or anywhere) tell me what a creatinine level of 244 mol/L means - I cannot interpret it - also a serum urea level of 16.1 mmol/L means. I know they are both above limit but even if I could convert to the American system I would find it easier. Also the uti hasn't gone

Hypoxic brain injury
Hi there I suffered hypoxic brain injury in 2019 following 2 cardiac arrests due to unknowingly
kidney
failure
as a result of Vascilitis, auto immune disease I didn't know I had. This has left me with mobility issues, poor concentration and some short term memory issues.

Ureteral stricture after transplant with no success after attempting stent and ballooning
Hello:) I just had my third kidney transplant in December. I had multiple pre transplant day long meetings to decide the best option for me having a third transplant and it was decided my fiance would donate and we would do paired exchange as a live donor and planned transplant would be for the best

Stopping Prednisone
I had my kidney transplant 2-1/2 years ago and my lab tests are consistently good. I'm taking everolimus, mycophenolic acid and prednisone. The prednisone is causing weight gain, diabetes and, possibly, hair loss. I tapered down to 5 mg of prednisone over two years ago. I'm now wondering whether I can

I don't like PD
I have been doing PD dialysis for 5 days and I don't like it because of the cramping is this unusual? I feel like I want to go back to doing hemodialysis in the center. The only thing I do like is PD is not four hours period. Any advice?
