If you get sick...cold, flu, Covid...what did you do?
I'm just over 9 months kidney transplant from a living donor. I've felt great but I do worry, since it is cold and flu season, about getting sick. Probably my biggest worry at this point. I try to wear masks when I am out and take all precautions. I just wondered though if I should get sick what are

Choosing your own in-center doctor?
Hello, everyone! My mom has been at her new dialysis center for about three months, and the doctor and NP assigned to her are pretty terrible. We noticed that a former patient had their own nephrologist who came to the center to go over lab results and handle any dialysis-related issues. That patient

Hi all I just want to say what a brilliant site this is and seeing all the different posts with information and experiences people have had is really helpful. I had sort of given up hope of my vision returning in my left eye due to cornea damage after many procedures due to Glaucoma and Uveitis and

Increased Creatinine -
I have a kidney transplant since 2009. I have had 4 ablations on my heart for afib since 2019. It has affected my creatinine adversely at times. I just changed from Flecanide to Propafenone for afib, & we are hoping this will lower my creatinine, which has slowly been increasing since starting the Flecanide

Mycophenolate instead of Perfinedine or Nintenanib?
Hi everyone I became breathless suddenly in August 2023. This was initially dismissed by my GP even though O2 was 90% as my chest was clear and I had no cough. A fortnight later I was able to get an appointment with a different GP who sent me for a chest X ray which showed I had pulmonary fibrosis.
