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

Hi I am new to this site and to posting anything anywhere in general, but I have so many questions I thought I would give this a try. My husband has been on dialysis for years and will always be on dialysis. He has many health issues but the most frustrating thing for him is not being able to control

Creatinine increase
My baseline creatinine was 1.8, but since April it has gone up, and is now at 2.7. Last week I was admitted to my transplant center hospital for 4 days, a biopsy was done that ruled out rejection. I don't think I'm hydrating like I should, but I don't know what's wrong. The surgeon said my kidney

Why would a kidney with no function hurt?
Hello my boyfriend who is 24 is going to dialysis due to his chronic kidney disease however he is having extreme pain in his kidney and we don’t understand why. Also has anyone experienced trouble breathing or fluid build up in the lungs even if dialysis wasn’t missed and you watched your fluid intake

Chronic kidney Disease. I want to reduce my creatinine count gradually. I have no guidance from my family. Which medicine should I follow?
I'm a CKD patient undergoing dialysis Treatment weekly twice. Please tell me how to reduce my creatinine count. I mean what diet as an Indian I should follow. I'm undergoing dialysis Treatment for the last 5 months. Please let me know in detail.
