FIVE SURPRISING WAYS YOU COULD BE DAMAGING YOUR KIDNEYS
Once we get told about having CKD our first reaction is often, "WHY?" If we know we have Diabetes and/or High Blood Pressure that somewhat mitigates the reason. However, there are many of us who if we find out that we are prone to getting CKD we could take action to stop or slow it down. It takes

Nephrologist appointment yesterday
I just saw my nephrologist yesterday and he took me off my fluid pill because my blood pressure was too low. He will check again in a month to follow u on it. He left me on my Lisinopril 10mgs because it protects my kidneys long term. My egfr is 35 and creatinine is 1.58. He feels the fluid pill was

COPD and BRONCHIOTASIS
I was in a Chemically induced coma for several weeks, when I came to and on top of my other illnesses i was diagnosed with bronchiotasis, the doctor was smiling when she told me the news, as if she was telling i won the lottery. Maybe she did not want to scare me as I already have, high blood pressure

CLINICAL TRIALS?
I have heard that clinical trials exist for experimental devices that can be worn on the body of a dialysis patient that will do the job of the big machines (I do not know whether it is under the heading of "hemo" or "
peritoneal

, but I would *think* it makes sense (and less dangerous) if it

ckd 4 and alport syndrome
First time posting! I was diagnosed with proteinuria 20 years ago. I have taken meds ever since. In the last 2 years my kidneys have declined and I now have a GFR of 21. Dr. says next time I will register with transplant unit. I have changed my diet to be low potassium, but my dr hasn't said anything

Low blood pressure after treatments
I have been on hemodialysis for a little over 3 months, and I have started having a problem with low blood pressure at the end of each treatment. My systolic is usually in the 80s and diastolic in the 50s or sometimes even the 40s. The clinic won't let me go unless my systolic is 100 or above. Usually

Does supplementary insurance help?
I ask this because my transplant center is not in-network for Humana Advantage & I overheard someone in the Dr.'s office say (they heard) it would be better. There is the additional cost to consider & whether or not I am considered pre-existing. Dialysis 1 year, diabetes, anemia. Any hope for help

Milestone!
As some of you know, I'm a
peritoneal
dialysis
patient and started dialysis 4.5 months ago. My Dialysis team has been encouraging me to get out and do things, which I've been managing to do by taking walks and running errands for my parents.

Getting Ready For a Fistula, am nervous, any advice?
I had a ultrasound of both arms and passed for a fistula but was told by the surgeon it could take up to 3 hours on anesthesia. I thought it was just numbing the area; how wrong was I! According to the surgeon, if one area isn't good he goes to another part of the arm until he finds a good vein and

The whole finding a living donor process is a JOKE!!!
What I guess aggravates me the most about being in the position that I am in, is that when you are looking for a donor it is all up to the PATIENT to find a person to donate to you and there is absolutely NOOO incentive to the donor to donate. For example, everyone in healthcare is making money off you
