Fistula pain
I've had a fistula for 2 years. I have NOT started dialysis yet. My GFR has stayed in the mid twenties, a surprise to all my doctors. In the meantime my hand gets numb and tingling sometimes. Yesterday something new happened. I had a few powerful sneezes in a row, thank you spring, and got a sharp pain

ARTIFICIAL LIVER
Good news , maybe we don’t have to wait for a liver transplant after all. I didn’t realise that machines existed that can carry out the function of the liver, at this stage they are external like kidney dialysis. Would think you have to hooked up permanently as the liver is always working.

MRI QUESTION
I also was on
peritoneal
dialysis
first and for a short time while hospitalized. In 1982 I had another kidney transplant. At the time of discharge from the hospital I was given a list of things to avoid. MRI was on the list.

Statins
I just finished watching - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MSNUjQt0u0 I find it fascinating that doctors are aware that statins don't work on dialysis patients, even the KDIGO guidelines say not to prescribe them, and yet doctors still will go ahead and lower LDL using statins. I know I am on one .

Queen is a busy bee
Hi all, I haven't left you, but these are the last two weeks of school. Then I'll have the summer off. I'm concerned dialysis is getting closer and closer. My creatine number is slowly creeping up. I don't even like to say the number out loud because it is so very upsetting. I have to realize that dialysis

can you swim when on dialysis?
After my catheter insertion, I was told I can’t swim in a pool due to risk of infection. I haven’t been in a pool for over a year and I really miss it. I’m going on holiday with my family this summer where there’s going to be a lovely pool and I was thinking of different ways I can swim safely, if possible

Beta Globulin deposits in dialysis patients
I am on Dialysis for 4 yrs after my first transplant failed. I have started developing knee joint pain most probably due to beta globulin deposits. Anyone experienced this? Any possible treatment for this? I have asked my dialysis center for high flux dializer. But I could not find any treatment. Alternative

PD Dialysis Issues - Can't Catch a Break
So, I went from stage three to Failure very quickly (less than a year). My plan was always to go straight to PD, as it seemed to best fit my life. My doc had other plans and was almost instantly in the hospital having a chest tunnel put in for Hemo. That was ok in the beginning and my fistula was then

low motivation
Hey all. Last times I facing problems with very low motivation to do something. It's hard for me to leave bed. I hove no pain or another discomfort. But any my wish to do something breaking by question “why?”. All actions seem meaningless. My mood is a little uprising only when I use tablets like ibuprophen
