Swollen Arms & fingers
Is urine retention and swollen arms/fingers a symptom of moving from advanced to end stage PSP and
kidney
failure
? With an ADRT in place, except for reversible conditions, I am unsure how best to deal with this. David is totally unable to communicate in any way and has no mobility.

I am leaking protein should I be concerned?
I believe I have a kidney problem however my PD says its normal for a person my age (73) to start having
kidney
failure
which is slow. He claims that as the individual ages every year you lose kidney function. I do have blood work done once a tear for my annual physical.

Two new papers examine the processes of lung scarring and chronic rejection of the organ after transplantation, and potential therapies to stop the graft, or transplanted organ and its tissue, from failing. “Chronic graft failure due to progressive scarring is the number one worry of all transplant

Heart failure and permanent
Hiya all, I have heart failure and feel it might be getting worse as I am really tired and sleeping half the day away. Is there any procedure to help heart failure? I have been told I am lucky as don't have any blocked or furred up tubes but feel that people who have procedures seem to have better lifestyles

Possible ckd?
I have a gfr of 48 and 2-3 weeks ago it was 47 and I am 65 years old. All other blood tests came back satisfactory. Should I be worried?

Final Update on Kidney Infection
I wanted to give my final update on the annoyance that was my kidney infection. I finished my course of Co-Amociclav on Christmas Day. The kidney infection has gone, thank goodness - the majority of the infection was in my right kidney and the back pain became entirely localised to the right side of

Unable to go to bathroom
Unable to go to bathroom at all unless with catheter or self cath (been this way for 2.5 months). Started with having turp. Doctors say prostrate is too enlarged and removing it is not an option. Has anyone experienced this and if so what helped. This is miserable. I’m curious if chemo shrinks it if

Scientists discover how COVID-19 virus causes multiple organ failure in mice.
UCLA researchers are the first to create a version of COVID-19 in mice that shows how the disease damages organs other than the lungs. Using their model, the scientists discovered that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can shut down energy production in cells of the heart, kidneys, spleen and other organs. "This

Kidney failure
Hello, I was just told that my kidneys are functioning at about 20%. Multiple tests, no underlying cause. I’m meeting with a dietician to go over my diet. Having had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass I’m on a high protein diet, I guess with kidney disease my diet will be the complete opposite. Is there anything

Does anyone know anything about the use of deflazacort instead of prednisone for PMR?
Searching the web tonight for prednisone information, I came across deflazacort for the first time. It seems to have better characteristics in terms of less bone loss and other side effects. The article I found (link below) talks about kidney transplantation; does anyone know whether it is being used
