Frequency of Dialysis Treatments
I am currently doing 2 Dialysis Treatments per week, every Monday and Friday with each being a 4 hour run. Does anybody else do 2 times a week or does everybody do 3 times a week? And how long is your run?

Third time is the charm!
Had my 3rd transplant December 11, 2017 after being on dialysis about 6 years. So very happy and praying I can keep this one for at least a good 80 years, lol. Now focusing on losing some weight and getting back into the workforce.

When do you start feeling better?
I had my transplant from my brother about 3 weeks ago. Everyone keeps asking if I feel better and I dont. Most of the time I feel worse than before I had transplant. I was on dialysis for like 3 months prior to surgery still made urine and was weight training 5 days a week. Now I just feel run down

Does any one else have Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI)
Not sure if any one can help me but have any of you been put on Creon for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (missing enzyme in your pancreas that breaks down fats, proteins and carbs) I've been told a lot of kidney patients suffer and just wondered if any one had any tips regarding diet and guide taking

Awaiting Kidney Transplant
Hello, everyone. I have questions about being prepared for a kidney transplant. I feel completely unprepared and do not know what questions to ask my transplant coordinator. I have been on dialysis for five years. I have a potential donor who is well into the evaluation process at my transplant center

PD Dialysis.
Hi, I just got my PD cath placed on this past Friday. I am bloated and uncomfortable. I haven’t started my PD training yet. I understand bloating is involved with PD, but is it going to be constant? I have had so many weight changes and I was JUST getting adjusted to my smaller weight. I plan on going

Renal Dialysis Side Affects
I started out on
peritoneal
dialysis
which I could do myself at home every night. Never felt bad and I was able to travel. After my automobile accident I had to switch to renal dialysis. This is my third year dealing with this dialysis. It makes me feel dragged out every time.
