Traveling to Venice, Italy
Hello, I am traveling to Venice, Italy in October and have exhausted all searches for locations for hemodialysis. Nephrocare, Davita and any other sight that talks about overseas travel does not list Venice as a dialysis location, which cannot be the case. I am hoping someone can give me the name of

4 year old starting school and still will only poo in a pull up
My 4 year old starts reception in 2 weeks and still cannot poo in the toilet, only in a pull up, despite 2 years of me trying and failing to achieve this. He also soils and is on Movicol and Senna. If I am slow to give him a pull up (in the hope that as he’s so desperate to go it might just slip out

Confused?
Hi, yesterday I downloaded the NHS app for my COVID pass information, under my medical conditions it lists liver steatosis (last april U.S) and renal fibrosis? (November U.S). I thought renal was kidney related? at no point has anything other than liver fibrosis been confirmed to me by letter or phone

LIOTHYRONINE SODIUM (Generic) by Sigma Pharm (T3) contains Mannitol - What?
Hi all, I've started using T3 and I got the 5mcg pills from Sigma Pharm. I've just looked up what's in them and found that they contain mannitol. So I've googled mannitol and not found anything that goes to explaining why it should be in my T3 pills. I'm a bit freaked out at some of the uses listed

Mohs Surgery with Kidney Disease
Does the Mohs surgeon have to do something different for kidney disease patients to avoid bleeding, promote healing, etc?

Post dental extraction
I had a molar removed yesterday afternoon due to severe pain and swelling. In my ignorant bliss I thought tooth out, pain and facial swelling will be gone, how wrong was I. Swelling worse and more widespread and pain is building back up. Has anyone suffered the same and found Prednisolone helped ?

Fluid retention / edema
Hi -- I'm 5 years post kidney transplant and over the past year I've developed swelling (pitting edema) in my lower legs. My eyes are also extemely puffy in the morning as the fluid pools there overnight. I'm curiuos if others have taken diuretics (lasix) to address this, or why they have chosen not

T2
I understand that it is now believed that T2, like T3, is produced by the Thyroid as well as through conversion, much like T3, and that this small amount is responsible for particularly metabolism and: Affecting and improving cholesterol Maintaining muscular activity Helping the liver and muscles burn

The strongest woman I knew.
Unfortunately she recently passed away from
kidney
failure
and complications in hospital. Lupus was a major factor in her inability to recover and it also stopped her getting some treatment as her lungs and heart were not up to major surgery.

Brachytherapy HDR
So, after 3 months of scans the EBRT here locally was canceled. Today Jim's RO from UCSF called and said the radiation board talked a long time and decided Brachytherapy HDR was appropriate. Jim will have two treatments at an overnight stay. After all the frustration and anxiety over the delays

Lupus related nodular prurigo
Does anyone with Lupus suffer from nodular prurigo? I’m climbing the walls with the pain and itching. Haven’t been able to see my consultant for over 2 years now. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. All the best to fellow Lupus sufferers.

Bladder pain?
I may have mentioned this before on here but honestly I just want to hear people’s stories and not feel alone in this. I currently get really bad bladder pain (what I assume is bladder pain). I get pain when my bladder is full and really bad pain as I emptying and after it is empty. It’s pain like I’

PD and stress
I have being doing CAPD for about 18months now, it has really helped to keep me going whilst I wait for my transplant. I just worry constantly between getting the balance of exercise diet and laxative. When I get stressed I get constipated, when I get constipated I get even more stressed so I end up

Dialysis HEADACHE!
I get a headache almost every time I go to dialysis lately. My blood pressure goes up during dialysis and that may be the trigger, but curious if anyone else has had this issue and how they deal with it or avoid it. I tried magnesium supplements and that does seem to help.

Update to my 10.1 elf
From previous post where dr wouldn't do scan as elf was under 10.5, which nice guidelines do state, but my concern was my drs think anything upto 10.5 is completely normal range with no other references, I did book a private ultrasound last week which showed nothing at all with my liver not even any
