Nephrectomy
I've been doing some thinking. That's a dangerous thing on the best of days. I hate my kidneys. They take up LOTS of room. They cause more pain than they are worth, anymore. I can't eat enough to stay nutrished, at times. My doctors think I can't swallow enough pills in a day. My pulse rings

Nephrectomy with AKI & Dehydration
I’m a 54 year old male who had a radical
nephrectomy
in June and had my right kidney removed due to cancer. The good news is the cancer was contained to the kidney. I went in with creatinine of 1.47 and after surgery it went as high as 2.4.

ECT for Depression when You Have Kidney Disease
I had a partial
nephrectomy
(right kidney) last September to remove a cancer; the treatment was successful, and my eGFR is hardly worse now than it was a year ago. So that's the good news. The not so good news is I'm tired most of the time, sleeping badly, and depressed.

nephrectomy
hi I’m just after a bit of advice I had my right kidney removed 4 weeks ago it was removed robotically and took over 7 hours due to the size of a non cancerous tumour. I had 4 small incisions and one large one lower down which is quite big! My tummy is still very swollen and sore. Is this normal? I

Tick antibiotics query
I had a
nephrectomy
a year ago and my kidney function is still recovering although well. Hoping I get a reply today but they don't always respond straight away understandably. Just feeling even more anxious now. Common side effects vomiting and diarrhea. Won't take any until they respond.

Von Hippel Lindau Syndrome
Hi APS friends- 2 years ago I underwent a partial
nephrectomy
to remove a large (2 inch in diameter) tumor in my kidney. Pathology showed that I have/had clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Throughout my life small tumors have been found in different places in my body, but all benign.

Possible Essential Thrombocytheania?
I ask for annual bloods due to my previous
nephrectomy
and Hyper- Parathyroids disease. I had noticed my platelets numbers rising over the last few years but when I mentioned this fact to the GP then, I was told they were still within what was acceptable, even tho' over 450,000.

Any experience with pregnancy after kidney transplant?
Having been through a lot medically including a bilateral
nephrectomy
prior to transplant, I am overwhelmed at the possibility of carrying my own child. This was something I thought I would never have the chance to do.

nephrectomy advice
My anxiety is related to whether a
nephrectomy
will have a big detrimental effect on my remaining kidney function. Does anyone have experience of similar situation?

New diagnosis for Ascending Aortic Aneurysm help please
I had a partial
nephrectomy
last Feb and all is well. No further indication of any spread. Thankfully it was a low grade small tumour but I am still considered high risk.When I got the ‘all clear for another year’ I was soo relieved but then the nurse said the dreaded ‘but’ word.

I have had a bilateral
Nephrectomy
and my kidneys were football sized. When I started dialysis at the center (which is very caring and professional!) I had really low blood pressure. Since my wife died of incurable cancer I am on my own.. no friends or family...

Cancer/AKI to low GFR
I had a full left
nephrectomy
and they had to remove the adrenal gland as well. Unfortunately in recovery my adrenal artery opened back up (they said they don't know what happened) and I'm lucky to be alive.

Prostate-Kidney and BPH Decision for treatment.
They think due to location of tumor a successful surgery for partial
nephrectomy
is unlikely and entire kidney would have to go. Thanks in advance for advice and help.
