Hello, Been on dialysis for over a year. One transplant list for year. This is a great idea; thought about doing a page on FB for dialysis patients.

Mom long term ICU trach ventilation, ICU delirium, what can I do to help her emotionally?
My mom has been in the ICU for 5 weeks now. She had the flu, then pneumonia and went into septic shock. At the hospital she was sedated and ventilated. Her kidneys failed and she requires dialysis. About 2.5 weeks in she got a trach put in and they stopped the sedation. Today she is still on the ventilator

Dialysis & after effects
I have started Dialysis recently (about 3 weeks ago} and am having some rather unpleasant effects. I have extreme wind which is accompanied by urgent need to evacuate bowel. The following day, bowel movements are frequent & loose. Sorry - not a nice subject - but is this a common effect of dialysis

Preparing for Dialysis
My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 CKD back in November. She is now stage 5 with a egrf 8. She has had a call this morning from the renal nurse saying we think we shud start preparing you for dialysis whilst your still well. I'm a little upset as I thought she'd holds out abit longer. It's so daunting

Hi all! Prior to our move about a year and a half ago, I was a mentor and volunteer for the NKF. I would visit with kidney dialysis patients. Many were willing to put up with rigors of 3 x a week dialysis at a center, rather than a transplant. Many were afraid of after a transplant and what kind of

I was diagnosed with ADA Nephropathy in August of 2015. I had a living donor but he was not cleared due to his own health condition that was discovered. I am preparing for both dialysis and a transplant. Hoping all goes well. I am encouraged to see there are a lot of folks who have had successful transplants
