WANT TO SHARE MP4 FILE RE: ZOOM MTG W/ TRANSPLANT SURGEON
It is an algorithm applied based on age, cause of
kidney
failure
, HLA results, antibodies, etc. I gathered from the surgeon (and some add'l research) that the LOWER your PRA is, the better the chances the transplantee will have of a successful (and faster?) Transplant.

DOES IVERMECTIN SLOW CLL
I previously posted that my absolute lymphocyte count was steadily growing then after I had both vaccinations my counts rose 50% in a few months. I later got covid and took ivermectin for a few days and my lymphocyte count went down from 30k to about 26.5k. I thought maybe a coincidence. Doing some

Question for those who have pkd and had a transplant
Hello I am on the waiting list for a kidney transplant and the meantime trying to do all I can to find a live donor. I get quite a lot of back pain with my polycystic kidney . I was wondering for those who had a transplant did your back pain ease at all. I know a transplant isn’t a cure for the disease

Your body is incredible. How connected to that are you?
Our bodies are incredible. They're always replenishing through a complex interplay of cell death & new cells. For me, having had a total of 10.5 years on dialysis, 7 of those as a teenager & two kidney transplants, there are so many ways to integrate, heal & remember our inner strength. Yoga is one

First Adt treatment
I started firmagon and zytiga/prednisone on December 10. On January 7, testosterone was below 3, but PSA increased from 4.8 to 5.1. Home likely is prostate resistant cancer after first treatment? I may be on the wrong forum here, because I am Gleason 8, cribriform morphology and PNI, but no indications

Cyberknife how accurate
PSMA than Cyberknife, over 5 days, then 30 days later, no change in PSA, in 90 days then PSA increased, So I paid for another PSMA to compare and found tumor no change in size at its location. Meet this week to ask “ did you miss”.

Remaining on a low dose of pred indefinitely
A lot of posts discuss tapering off steroids as a priority, but I'm wondering if there are some members who are happy to remain on a low dose of pred (say, around 5mg or below) and have their GP or rheumatologist's blessing to do so. I mention this because during my last visit to see my rheumatologist

Xenotransplantation of pig heart
Hello everyone. I’m sure we have all read about the recent pig kidneys transplanted into humans successfully. Well, it appears it’s been done again but this time it looks like a heart transplant was done. It’s too early to tell, but this case here seems to be more beneficial towards making it a reality

Can Too Much Sleep Hurt Us?
Hi -- I am 73, have mild
kidney
failure
, a lung disease, and since 2018 AFIB and mild heart failure. Even before the heart problems I was always tired. Now some days I am good for nothing and want to just sleep half of the day. I sleep so great & can fall asleep in like a minute.
