Encouragement and a question
Hi. I've been waiting at home whilst my husband recovers from Covid. The history is: 5 weeks fully sedated ICU; tracheostomy fitted; 3 weeks to fully wake up; 2 weeks with MRSA; transfer to Renal unit for 3 weeks. Weakness on right side - no grip in hand and sore shoulder. Kidneys not working well

Secondary pneumonia- post covid/ventilator
Hi everyone, My dad is off the vent and off sedation. He is breathing on his own but still in the hospital. However, today they said his breathing was a bit laboured. They also said his white blood count was low. They are suspecting secondary bacterial pneumonia. They have already started treating it

Kidney Transplant and Covid Prison
I was actually feeling more like my true self and confident that I was recovering nicely from the transplant surgery, then the covid hit and I have been a prisoner in my own house. The only social activity I have is going for labs and doctor appointments. I miss all the things I used to do: going

Good protein for CKD?
I was stage 3. Now stage 2. Have reduced gfr by almost eliminating protein. I am looking to put protein back in diet. Which are the easiest proteins for kidneys to handle. ( besides egg whites and tofu) ??

Kidney function issues?
Recent blood tests show acute
kidney
failure
(he’s never had issues before diagnosis), low hemoglobin and high blood sugar. Doctors are doing various tests to get to the bottom of the issue, but haven’t yet.

How much internal radiation can a guy take?
I have bone mets in both femures and Ischium. I have read about Radium 223 as well as Lu-177 and AC-225 and variations. Can I start taking these radio pharma drugs with abandon without worrying about accumulated radiation? Should I plunge into the genre asap or wait for the best and safest to be

Good ECG results!
I have changed my diet completely due to
kidney
failure
to a mostly vegetarian and no red meat or processed foods. Also when I was feeling breathless a few month s ago at night I was woken with a sort of thud in my chest a few times. This is the first time I've mentioned it because its scary.

Immune suppressants?
Im not seeking any medical advice with this question. Do any of you know why some of us, post transplant, take different immune suppressants? I take 2 mg of Advagraf (slow relase) once a day. Others that i have met on the liver unit that were transplanted around the same time as me, December 2019, or

Finding Support
Hello everyone~ I'm new in the Raleigh, NC area and looking for someone to take the journey with me through the kidney transplant process. I don't know where I can go to reach out to find folks who can volunteer to go down this path. I cannot begin the transplant program without having a supportive partner

Is there a difference between Collapsing Glomerulopathy and C3?
My son, 17, was just diagnosed with collapsing Glomerulopathy after having had a kidney transplant in June of 2020. My doctor told me there is no known cases of it happening in pediatric patients and my son is the youngest she knows of to ever have it. She explained to me that it usually happens either

Temgesic or Subutex

New to this board - I have AF with Bradycardia and would like to know if bradycardia can be resolved if AF is stopped
I had an AF episode on October 31 and did not know what it was. I felt horrible. November 2 my heart dropped to 32 bpm. My wife took me to the ER immediately. 3 hours later I had a pace maker. I kept having episodes of AF and went back in for another heart cath. My cardiologist decided to set me up with

Should I be concerned?
I'm an 83 year old woman. I know that the GFR decreases with age, so maybe I'm within the normal range. In Oct last year, my Creatinine was 1.20 mg/dl and my GFR was 43. In Dec last year, the findings were Creatinine 1.08 mg/dl and the GFR was 48. My doctor says that shows CKD, but that at this point

Long wait time for referral
I recently had an ultrasound which showed a few cysts on my right ovary, one of which was haemorrhagic and they're suspecting endometriosis. I currently have the coil inserted, and am on yasmin also to try and reduce pain. Struggling massively with pain, taking tramadol daily and using hot water bottles

Epo for Renal Anaemia
Anyone had any experience of taking Epo for anaemia? My renal nurse wants me to have it but when she first mentioned it she said it carried a risk of stroke. Tried iron infusions but not effective. I have high blood pressure and a family history of strokes, naturally worried . On the other hand
