First appointment with kidney doc since finding out I might have a problem. This is third grf test was 43. I don’t think I like this doc. But I’m going to stay with him until all the blood work comes back and my ultrasound. He told me no more salt. No canned food. But yet drinking to much water isn’t

Refusing Lung Transplant
A few weeks ago my wife's neurologist put her forward for consideration for lung transplant surgery. After consideration, my wife has declined as she feels it represents a great deal of change to her life, in which she is quite content. I go along with her wishes but wondered if this was a decision made

Help with recovering from ICU
Help with support about seeing the room you was in ICU Hi. I was ICU for about 7 weeks and most of it I was in Coma. I have terrible memories of it and wanted to speak to someone about it. I am going through the hospital support but it’s very slow moving. I do want to clear my head but I feel that it

Wellness poster for my stay at hospital
I am due to have a stem cell transplant and have prepared myself for my stay at the hospital. It’s been suggested that I can decorate my room and can use posters to put on the wall. I wonder if anyone could suggest somewhere online that they would know of that I could find any reasonably priced posters

Anion gap redux, potassium?
Recently i saw on here a discussion of low anion gap. I tried searching on HU but only found posts by people talking about other diseases, so clearly not the post and discussion I recall. Can anyone direct me to that discussion? If not, can anyone summarize the significance of low anion gap? Just
