Staying on the Path
After having multiple back surgeries I became extremely inactive afraid to move because of pain. This led to weight gain and I developed diabetes. That was my wake up call. Not being a fan of medication I began following a diabetic diet and through reading I found so much more information that I was

Orgovyx after surgery?
Husband on orgovyx for 3 months. Finished 28 proton treatments 3 weeks ago. Had lung surgery to remove unrelated cancerous spot. Dr. wants him off orgovyx 2 more weeks. Thoughts? Husband doesn’t want testosterone to rise.

Hashimotos and PBC? Primary Billiary Cholangitis
Am working on a healthcare brief as a copywriter atm. This time for the autoimmune liver condition PBC. The premise is that PBC is a rare condition, but as it’s a major cause of liver transplants in the US, I tend to think many people are undiagnosed and it actually occurs quite frequently. With that

Should I do only kidney or pancreas as well?
I have been listed recently in august for kidney and pancreas transplant. I am type 2 diabetic and not on dialysis yet. I was not aware if my transplant doctor would list me for pancreas. I am not sure if I should go for pancreas transplant or keep only kidney. Having both increases risk? Any advise

Summary Paper from Drs, Claire N. Harrison and Donal P. McLornan
Nice summary I just came across from some of the experts. I've included some outtakes I found notable. Lots more in there on R&D for MF. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/bjh.16573 From chart, HCT control matters. This was discovered ~2011 and is likely a big part of what we've discussed

Hair Loss
Hi everyone, I have been on dialysis for 9 months. I am on the registry for a liver and kidney transplant. Along with other symptoms that so many of us suffer from, it is devastating that I have lost half of my hair : (( This started about 6 months into dialysis. Thyroid issues have been ruled out

Immense sweating
I am 2 yes 9 months post kidney transplant. Has anyone had issues with immense sweating that your hair is sopping wet? I thought it could be my thyroid but that’s not it. Apparently my blood work is stable. I’ve asked the transplant team, nephrologist and an Endochronogist….. no answers. I am wondering

FRUSTRATED ON INACTIVE LIST
I am very frustrated with my Transplant Hospital (I need to vent or get guidance if anyone has a suggestion). I have completed all of my THIRD two-year re-evaluation with the multiple tests required.

How we grow and empathise through shared story
It's UK Kidney Week #UKKW2021 which really means there happens to be a big virtual conference happening in the renal community this week. I'm thrilled to be part of the conversation in self care with a brilliant human chairing, Dr Kate Bramham, on Friday. Kate was the on ward consultant last September

New study yields insights into chronic rejection after lung transplantation
A study of lung tissue from patients with end-stage bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) as a complication of lung transplantation yielded molecular and morphologic insights into the development of chronic rejection. These insights may help develop therapies to optimize long-term outcomes for lung

Bio-artificial kidney
Hello everyone I hope you're doing good. 😊 Do you think this permanent cure (bio-artificial kidney) is possible anytime soon? It's supposed to replace dialysis and even kidney transplant. I know the concept has been around for a few years now and didn't get anywhere for various reasons, but it seems

Well, I have sarcoidosis folks
I had my biopsy surgery and just got the results. It is pulmonary sarcoidosis. I have been told that my pulmonologist will be calling me to start treatment. Most likely - steroids :( Steroids and organ transplants are the only treatment options I am 90% certain I will have my breast implants removed.

Single Transplant not possible
Consultant thought I would have a better chance of a
transplant
by accepting a single
lung
. Today I received a copy of the letter that went to my GP and read that I’m not suitable for a single transplant because of pulmonary hypertension.
