Really need support, prayers and advice. I'm sad and scared.
My wife of 12 years was just diagnosed with kidney failure.. she's 50 years old. I'm scared. She was a little yellow and not was in and out of it so i took her to the ER. Can someone please give me some advice. Anything. She is starting dialysis as we speak.

'Intervention targets T cells rather than multiple immune cell types," Prof. Chaim Putterman says. Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus), an autoimmune disease in which the body recognizes and attacks its own tissues, can affect many organs, including the kidneys. About fifty percent of patients diagnosed

Did any kidney transplant people have high antibodies
Hello I’m on the transplant list I was hoping to get a transplant before dialysis but don’t know if it will happen . I had one offer that didn’t work out I found out then I am going to be hard to match cause I have high antibodies. I wasn’t even aware there was such a thing. How long did you wait before

Covid sepsis ICU
Hi all My dad (68) previously independent and working was admitted to ICU three weeks ago since then he’s been put on dialysis, still doesn’t pass any urine, and has fought sepsis. His o2 requirement has fluctuated but generally stays at around 60-80% his hearts required support however just recently

My 62 year old daddy on a ventilator from covid complications and lung scarring.
My dad has been fighting covid pneumonia for almost 4 weeks now. He has been on the ventilator for 15 days requiring 90-100% with very fast breaths(BiLevel). He is able to keep his stats in the 90s right now. The doctors say he now has lung scarring which can't be corrected. He is on dialysis now as

At what percent of kidney function merits going on dialysis?
My husband's kidney (mine) is failing and at 15% functionality. I'm wondering how low he can go before he needs to be put on dialysis.

Itching and Fluid Retention
I am on PD dialysis and doing well except for the itching that I am experiencing in my back area. Also, I seemed to be retaining extra fluid. Could this be my diet? Any and all advice would be great!
