New stage 5
Hi. I am new to the group. New stage 5 and getting a fistula tomorrow. Told it is urgent. I am hoping to have a graft but was told my vessels are too small they would try. I’m 50 kids at home going to college. Still slugging along working. Tired. Itchy(thought I had scabbies, before I was diagnosed😂

Dialysis Options
In preparation for dialysis which I hope will not happen, I need to make a decision about center or home. I have been doing a lot of research. I am wondering about people's experiences. I would like to do home dialysis, but do not have a partner, is this really necessary ? I do know people who do

Blood pressure.
Hi there, how is everyone doing? My blood pressure is below 200 for the 1st time in more than a year. I am really happy about the improvement but unfortunately I have to go for dialysis as my numbers for creatinine, Grf, etc are skyrocketing and my kidneys are failing according to my doctor. Anyways,

Living Donation and Blood Pressure
I am considering offering to be a live donor for my father who is about to go on dialysis. I am 50 years old and very healthy; however, whenever I have my blood pressure checked it is around 130-135/80 which I guess is technically categorized as stage 1 hypertension. It has been in this range for the

Can I donate unused Manual PD supplies?
My husband was on Manual PD for two months, then was switched to using an overnight cycler a few months ago. I have 15 boxes of Manual PD bags--the supplier won't take them back, the dialysis clinic said to just open the bags and pour them down the toilet. Any suggestions?

Went from Stage 3 to Stage 5 in 2 years - low protein diet?
I was first diagnosed with CKD in August 2006. I noticed blood in my urine and went to an urgent care and they sent me immediately to the ER. My BP at the ER was 260/140. The doctor in the ER tried to lower my BP too fast and I passed out and almost went into a seizure. I was in the hospital for a week

Interesting comment
"I had a routine medical last month, which I was sure would be OK. But the blood test results showed that I have chronic kidney disease, stage 3a. I'm 60. Will I eventually need to have dialysis and a kidney transplant? Do I need treatment to prevent my kidneys deteriorating further? I have never had
