GFR of 8 but Ultrasound states no abnormalities
Hi everyone, I'm new on here and writing for my mom. She is 59 years old and just recently diagnosed with CKD. Her labs came back on 5/13/2019 with a GFR of 8 and Creatinine of 5.17. Her Neuphrologist referred her for more labs and a Renal Ultrasound. I just got back the Renal Ultrasound results and

Hi guys
Hi I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm a mum of 3 and my 2 boys now age 16 and 15 have both had double transplants . The younger one had liver and kidney aged 25 months and the older one had 2 liver transplants 9 months later aged 4.5 years. This is due to primary hyperoxaluria type one and oxalosis

Feeling sad after transplant - (I'm new here)
Hi, this is my first post so I hope this is the right place to ask something like this. I had a transplant almost 5 months ago and thought I would be super happy by now, especially after a year on dialysis. Instead I've been feeling quite sad and kind of like I'm in a rut. I'm a young college student

Good news
It has been one year since I first saw my renal dietician and met with the nephrologist. She said back then to prepare for dialysis within six months. I had been progressively declining monthly. Went from stage 3 to 4 within a short time. I am so thrilled to report my labs today from the last three

Tips for Complying with Renal Diet
Hi, I am at GFR of 10 and preparing to soon go for PD catheter surgery so I can start dialysis. I met with several renal dietitians. So far, they are giving me information pamphlets with list of food items that are high in sodium, in potassium and in phosphorus. What to avoid and what is ok to eat from

A preemptive kidney transplant?
Hey everyone I have IGAN. Approximately 3 months ago I started the process of getting on the kidney transplant list. At the time I was referred for transplant by my nephrologist because my GFR was 16 and we both thought dialysis was looming. I started the process and went through all the testing required

My Father is ready to give up on dialysis
I need help my father was put on dialysis after a cardiac arrest in 2017. He knew he was heading towards dialysis because of his Gfr before the heart attack. He is very frustrated with his level of care at the center and that makes wanting to go to treatment 3x a week very hard. He has always been one
