Ureteral stricture after transplant with no success after attempting stent and ballooning
Hello:) I just had my third kidney transplant in December. I had multiple pre transplant day long meetings to decide the best option for me having a third transplant and it was decided my fiance would donate and we would do paired exchange as a live donor and planned transplant would be for the best

Splish Splash for the Queen
I went to the nephrologist last week. He said I'm stable so I can return in two months. No dialysis yet. I'm thankful. I also go to the transplant center at the end of the month for my last few tests. An abdomen x-ray and a stress test. A little nervous about the stress test. I don't want to fall out

Kicked off List
Has anyone on here been kicked off the transplant list for not going to dialysis all the time??? I don't always make it due to different reasons like not feeling well, nauseous, diarrhea etc. Who wants to go sit in a chair for 4 hours when you don't feel good enough to get out of bed? My one kidney

In a bit of a quandry
Hello - if you were me would you concentrate more on keeping your kidneys going without dialysis and all of the special diets or would you spend good money on going to a sleeping pill detox so you could sleep naturally at night. I suffer with both and it is making me very depressed. I may not be allowed

Adjust Crown, Mood Roller Coaster Begin
I meet with my nephrologist this week. Always nerve wrecking. The highs and lows of all of this are definitely a roller coaster and I know I still haven't fully gotten on. I'm waiting on the day when my nephrologist says I have to start dialysis. My fistula seems to be doing well, vibrating away. Why

Pd home changing to cycler severe edema.
I am currently on pd home dialysis. I felt as if it had stopped working and my Dr recently confirmed this. I have severe lower calf edema. It’s red spotty, itchy and dry and very tight. I am starting the cycler on Monday. Has anyone else had manual exchanges stop giving them proper fluid removal?

Traveling with Dialysis
I recently flew to another state to visit my mom and while traveling I thought about how it could be done while on PD and how best to go about it. It seemed impossible given all the flight delays and changing gates that went on. Has anyone done this successfully?

To use Procrit or not? 86 with end stage renal failure
My Uncle is 86 and has end stage renal failure. He does not want dialysis. His Dr wants him to start Procrit to help with the anemia. The side effects are daunting and he does not want to take it. Anyone have experience with Procrit?

Just started all of this June last year, love all of the info you share
Had my driver medical blood test done April last year. I get called in and was told 1 kidney had level 2 cancer and blood clot in superior vena cava, and that I needed immediate surgery. By mid June it was done with and I was hoping that was it. So when I went for a check up I was surprised to find

PD help!
Started
