Some Kidney Humor
The old patient went to the Nephrologist for a follow-up and to receive his test results to see if he is in Kidney Failure. The doctor said, "I have bad news. You are in Kidney Failure, and you also seem to have Alzheimer's." The old guy interrupted the doctor and said, "Well, at least I don't have Kidney

Staying on the Path
After having multiple back surgeries I became extremely inactive afraid to move because of pain. This led to weight gain and I developed diabetes. That was my wake up call. Not being a fan of medication I began following a diabetic diet and through reading I found so much more information that I was

My partner was admitted to ICU on 28th September with severe Covid. He was then intubated and put on full ventilator on 3rd october. I am struggling with the whole situation as he has other complications and the Hospital have advised they are very worried he wont survive but taking things day by day.

Discussion: Vascular Calcification / bone disorder in CKD
Mortality in CKD is dominated by the cardiovascular domain. We will more likely die of a cardio related issue than anything else. We are the highest risk group of all groups for cardio related death. Death for cardio reasons is more likely than our progressing to end stages of the disease: "Expressed

Should I do only kidney or pancreas as well?
I have been listed recently in august for kidney and pancreas transplant. I am type 2 diabetic and not on dialysis yet. I was not aware if my transplant doctor would list me for pancreas. I am not sure if I should go for pancreas transplant or keep only kidney. Having both increases risk? Any advise

Hair Loss
Hi everyone, I have been on dialysis for 9 months. I am on the registry for a liver and kidney transplant. Along with other symptoms that so many of us suffer from, it is devastating that I have lost half of my hair : (( This started about 6 months into dialysis. Thyroid issues have been ruled out

Bad breath and taste
Hi! I'm stage 4, GFR 20-24, BUN 34. About 2 weeks ago I started getting the ammonia breath I've heard about and my mouth always has a bad taste...almost rotten taste like garbage. My tongue even burns a bit. My dentist says my teeth are fine. My neph says I shouldn't have this until stage 5, but I

Bio-artificial kidney
Hello everyone I hope you're doing good. 😊 Do you think this permanent cure (bio-artificial kidney) is possible anytime soon? It's supposed to replace dialysis and even kidney transplant. I know the concept has been around for a few years now and didn't get anywhere for various reasons, but it seems

At the end of May this year, he had a second Y90 radiation treatment on his liver and this sent him into

Non covid respiratory failure *update*
So 18 days ago I wrote on here to say my husband had tried to end his life. As a consequence of that he ended up on ICU sedated and on a ventilator. The Dr's were struggling to keep his Sat's up. He required high levels of oxygen and high pressure from the ventilator for almost 4 weeks. His kidneys

Acute kidney injury , worried!!
Hi all, my brother has been found to have thromobotic microangiopathy (on kidney biopsy) secondary to APS and likely complement dysregulation. He is on dialysis and plasma exchange. Doctors are saying the kidney injury is reversible but will take time. Anyone can throw some light on what to expect as

Lonely
I have mentioned previously the anxiety that visits me daily. Every twinge of the abdomen while healing , feeling wired everyday, the shaking hands making everything taking a little longer to accomplish, the jitters in my legs causing me to feel unstable on my feet. And you all know, that's just less
