Peritoneal Dialysis - Week Two after Surgery
So I can't really see where anyone put a step by step account of the PD experience on here since DAF1234 put comments in 3 years ago. So I'll document as best i can this experience. Last Monday (Week 1) I had the PD catheter placement surgery. Today, I had an appt at the Fresenius Dialysis Center

Amyloidosis
Anyone experienced Amyloidosis on Dialysis? I heard ghat haemodiafiltration can help. Is the cost of haemodiafiltration same as haemodialysis?

I have a working Ridership App called "Dialy Ride"
Please take a look at my work and provide me an honest feedback. This app if for people needs to be driven to the dialysis center for little or no money. It was the app that I had talked about on the forum some weeks ago. I would appreciate any feedback that you have after browsing it over. Thank you

Dialysis centers
Does anyone know anything about the dialysis centers near Bristol WI or Gurnee IL? WI is where my husband is renting a place and IL is where his new job is located. Any advice on how to pick a random center? Thanks for the help.

How long to hold off dialysis?
Hello! My dad's kidney function is around 12% and has been for a couple months. He recently had fistula surgery so he'll be ready for dialysis after it fully heals. He'll be 86 next month and I'm concerned about the emotional and physical toll HD will have on him. I've been reading some articles that

Weakening bones/joints on dialysis
Hi I am on dialysis for 4 yrs after my first transplant failed. My bones and joints are weakening day by day. I do take calcium+vit d3 and cinacalcet for high PTH. What else is required to avoid weak bones and joints? Any advice?

liver issues and dialysis
I may have issues with my liver (waiting to speak to a consultant). It looks like excess toxins are seeping into my body making me feel rough. I wondered if anyone with liver issues and heart failure has ever had dialysis and did it make a difference?

Rough Draft of App Dedicated to Folks on Hemodialysis or PD
I started a quick draft of an app that might be wider in scope but I just want to get feedback early on so that I can minimize the application 's content. The main premise is to get rides from volunteers that could be an individual or a company. There are other tasks such as help doing light chores,

Waking up
hi, I’m new here but I feel like I’m going out of my mind. My Mum (79) ended up in ITU last Thursday following a chest infection, diabetic ketoacidosis and pneumonia. Her sedation has now been reduced but she’s not waking up. She has days when she will spontaneously open her eyes, and when I speak to

When folks are at the dialysis center do you use a tablet or phone?
Hello Again, As I mentioned before, I am a User Interface Design Student who are building a site to help people who are undergoing dialysis. Like my sister, she uses her phone to watch Youtube videos to pass time. I'm interested in what device people use so that I could tailor it specific for those
