I’ve lost about twenty after understanding what function the kidney plays un bloating and weight gain. Read up on it to get a new prospective, if your kidney is only sub-working I’m still at stage

Low blood pressure...they want to stop dialysis...please any advice is needed
My mom’s doctors are now saying that her blood pressure is very low, likely due to all the infections she has been fighting off. She has been on dialysis since her kidneys haven't been functioning properly because of an autoimmune disease. They can’t treat the disease due to her infections...and it seems

Help and advice appreciated
Hi everyone my first post on this forum. I have been told by my renal surgeon that my eGFR has been deteriorating over the last few months and am now at stage 4 of CKD with eGFR =19. He has informed me that due to this I need to prepare myself for possible dialysis in the near future. Does anyone have

KT/V ORDERED BY MEDICARE?
I recently received a call from my Fresenius Kidney Care PD Home Therapy Clinic indicating that Medicare has requested ALL PD patients to submit to a Kt/V test this month. I have had so many kt/vs since January that I have started to complain. Kt/V tests are usually required only every 3 months from

COVID, Internal Bleeding/ multi organ failure and coma
Hi all, I am here out of desperation and looking for hope like everyone else. Mom was admitted to the ICU due to severe Covid infection and sever pneumonia. Her oxygen level was 90%. They put her on a ventilator with sedation. Her kidneys and liver weren’t functioning. Within a few days she was recovering

What do you eat when you don’t feel like eating?
I am very close to needing dialysis. On June 1 it was like someone through a switch, I’m exhausted all the time, I have nausea, indigestion, and no appetite. I find that some food goes down better than others. If this has happened do you, what do you find to eat?

Avoiding dialysis with natural approaches
Hi everyone! I’m new to this community. I was hoping to find people who have reversed end stage renal disease and/or diabetes naturally. My mom’s latest GFR was 17 and she’s between a rock and a hard place. Her doctor keeps increasing her lasix, knowing it can cause kidney damage. When she tries to get

My brother needs a kidney and advice
My dad died around the holidays from kidney failure. The day of the funeral we found out my brother had to go on a transplant list because he was born with only 1 kidney and no one knew. Now that one is failing and him needing dialysis is happening faster than we thought. He keeps referring to a transplant

mom has been in the ICU for 6 weeks...doctors are discouraging.
Hello, my mom, who is 51, was admitted to the hospital on May 8 for severe edema and joint pains. After several blood tests and a kidney biopsy, she was diagnosed with Class 4 Lupus Nephritis. The lupus was causing her kidneys to fail (hence the edema). About a week after being at the hospital, my family
