Kidney Swelling with Cirrhosis?
Hello Friends, My hubby was diagnosed with cirrhosis at the end of 2019. Today his ultrasound showed a swollen kidney, with the technician asking him twice if he was sure he didn’t need to wee 🙄. Wondering if anyone has experienced this and what it could be. My googling suggests hydronephrosis perhaps

My appointment for a Colonoscopy.
I took the first dose of Moviprep Wednesday after having a CT scan. It was a introduction to Dysentry. I had a hell of a time with explosive episodes that ruined the carpet in the downstairs loo. I took the second dose Thursday morning hoping it might clean my bowels out and start looking clearer. It

Hi. I'm from the U.S.. Not xpat, just looking for ascites forums and came across BLT. Just found out about my ascites a couple months ago. Got banded then they tried TIPS which failed. I have to get drained almost weekly and yield around 8-9 litres. I don't know what's next as have not seen doc yet.

Kidney Transplant Waitlist
I met one patient at dialysis clinic couple years ago. I saw him did quick treatment just couple months then disappear. I asked tech where was he. Tech said that guy got the kidneys. He was judge in downtown. He had premium health ins. That was lied that you have to wait 7 to 10 years on waiting list

Oygavyx Problem?
I have been on Orgavyx now for a few months and my MO discovered some irregularities with my EKG and bloodwork. I'm not sure the cause of the problem but Orgavyx literature warns against patients taking it with a long QT interval. My QT interval was 488ms (over 480 indicates problem) and my EKG showed

Hi Everyone, hope you're all keeping well. I wanted to ask of your opinions to see if this idea I have is worth pursuing as a product. It is essentially seeing if this is something to investigate further. My backstory is that I had a kidney transplant at 17. Upon recovery I was interested in playing

Statins with ckd4?
I've been advised to take 20mg of statins but I am worried about the effect on my kidneys (CKD 4). Has anyone taken them? I know that my renal team wouldn't let me have them if I was in any danger and I understand that I am more at risk for heart failure or attack but would like your experiences with

My brother is on day 5 off sedation but he's still not waking up.. Is this common?
He has been on ventilator for 3 weeks with, pneumonia, sepsis internal bleed in bowel and
kidney
failure
. He finally got his tracheostomy fitted and the medical team began taking him off sedation 5 days ago but he has not responded. We are so worried that he won't wake up.

For us CKD is a family affair. Out of nine children, five of us have this disease. Of those five one has had a kidney transplant and one is on dialysis. I am currently at stage 3 and I’m trying really hard to halt the progression and avoid being hooked onto a machine. To that end I bought a detailed

I also have

and do dialysis . They’re trying to get me to move my catheter from my chest to my stomach so I can do home treatments. Has anyone done this? It seems more convenient! I’m so glad to have found this group. Thank you!
