PD -what are the cons (everyone talks about the pros) other than infection?
I prefer
Peritoneal
Dialysis
over Hemo and talked to several Kidney advocates and nurses. All talk about the pros compared to Hemo. Except for infection I have not heard many other risks or discomforts from direct patients.

Waking up from deep sedatives in ICU.
Waking up from sedation...what should I expect? My Dad went in for bypass surgery which went fine and on the day he was to come home he had a reaction to Heparin which was HIT type II rare response. They found clots in his heart and he had a heart attack shortly after in the ICU. He went in for emergency

Clothing choices
My Mom began dialysis about 7 months ago, shortly after beginning we noticed a need for changes in clothing for her. Since than we’ve designed a wonderful sweatshirt that serves the purpose and keeps her warm. My question to you all is how do we market it. Do you have special site that you’ve used when

Creatinine of 18, but kidney function returning.
Hello all - first post here. I recently spent 3 weeks in the hospital due to surprise kidney failure. My creatinine level was at 18. I was given about 8 dialysis treatments - had a reaction to heparin, so they could not do a kidney biopsy because my platelets were low. In the meantime, my creatinine

Wait time for transplant
Hello, the first time I was on the transplant list before my first transplant, I was on it for 6 years. I’d like to say that is not the normal wait time..but from what I was informed since I lost my first transplant of 23 years, that the average wait time now is 5 to 6 years. I’m sure that varies depending

Anyone received or waiting for a SLK?
Any one out there who has received or waiting for a SLK (simultaneous liver/kidney transplant). I was listed a short time ago and have been on Dialysis since June 2019.

Update
Thank you for all your support. My partner, Andrew, is still critically ill. After being told that his chances of survival are slim it’s been soul destroying. His oxygen level has been reduced from 70% to 60%. His bilirubin levels have dropped since admittance and he has remained stable for the past
