Kidney Transplant process
Hi all! I'm writing because my husband has been referred for a transplant. He is 54 years old and is in end stage and on home dialysis since December 8th 2020. I 'm very nervous with the transplant process, we haven't been contacted yet to go for evaluation but any advice and how the process works will

I found this website through one of my dads doctors. My dad was sent to the hospital on 25 December, he was still fine until on the 26 dec, he suffered from cardiac arrest and led his kidney to fail. He is now in ICU for 12 days and under sedated coma with ventilator tube. They could not do a tracheostomy

Carefully look at your lab test results-all depends on the normal range for each lab.
Just in case others may experience what I just did I will give my most recent experience: (when we compare our test result numbers on here remember they may all be wildly different numbers but mean the same thing)": Due to my stage 3 egfr (caused by only one kidney) and renal metastatic cancer, I get

COVID Stats...
Hi everyone! I had my quarterly Nephrology appointment today. I am a kidney transplant recipient from 1999 - ya, 21+ years ago. There were a lot of questions and discussions on this site about the COVID vaccine and should you get it or not. My nephrologist has a friend who is also a nephrologist

Rejection
I took blood tests to see what’s going on with my kidney. I was told a biopsy would be next to see what is causing the problem and treatment to follow! These UTI’s are brutal!

Started Taxotere question
I started taxotere 2 weeks ago. I was wondering if anyone can answer a couple of questions. When I had SBRT the oncologist told me that the treatment may make the cancer angry and cause pain in those spots being treated. I was wondering if the same would hold true for the taxotere causing pain in the

Hi All, thank you for your lovely messages and PMs. Yesterday was a very, very difficult day for me since I had my first Covid jab. An opportunity my husband didn't get by a matter of days / weeks. Had my son not been with me I would have driven away. The advantage of my hysteria meant I jumped the

Hemodialysis
Does hemodialysis get better eventually? I have been doing since 07/13/2020 and still have emotional and physical problems. I am so tired afterwards but can't rest and end up crying from frustration I guess. Still got to do 3 things to get on Transplant list supposedly, it changes every month. Thank

Contrast dye
Hi, I've been offered an MRI for my pituitary and brain (my 4th). I've been told that it's essential to have contrast dye for this but due to many health issues, am really worried about this. Last time I was mostly in bed for over a year with bad dysautonomia/palpitations etc, but that may be unrelated

Only water fasting after renal transplantation. How long is safe?
Has anybody done only water fasting for over 24 hours after kidney transplant? I had done 7-8 days of only water fasting prior to KT and now have been doing IF of 20/4. I’m also a vegan of 16 years. Is long period of fasting on water safe for renal transplant recipients on immunosuppressive meds? Thx

Finally going to move out!!
My mother managed to reverse her
kidney
failure
. Which plays a big part in why I feel comfortable enough to leave. Its going to be scary for sure but I know I’m ready and I can do it. Especially with my friends support and my best friends family’s support as well!
