4am and still up!!!
I don't post much because my RLS isn't too bad most nights.I tried adding that both my kidneys have failed because of catching Covid for the second time and already I have a number of health issues. I am on Peritoneal Dialysis and I am diabetic. I treat my RLS with 75mg Pregabalin, I know it's nothing

seeking a kidney donor
My name is Deepti and I am 35 years old . In April 2024, I was diagnosed with End-Stage Renal Disease and now rely on peritoneal dialysis (PD) 7 days a week. Dialysis is exhausting and restricts my daily activities . I hold a Masters degree from Purdue and work as a Data engineer in Silicon Valley

Peritoneal dialysis catheter block
Hi everyone, for those on PD, have you had any catheter complications or blockages and how were they resolved? My father suddenly started to have his PD fluid drain bloody two weeks ago. We notified the nurse/dr who are both unresponsive and just assumed it’s a burst blood vessel. We requested a sample

Anyone on peritoneal dialysis?
Hello, My father is 83 years old and his eGFR is now 8. The doctors want to start the process for home peritoneal dialysis overnight. We are feeling quite anxious as a family and I would appreciate your support. Can anyone offer their experiences on starting PD, physically and mentally how they feel

It's been eight months since I found out I will need a transplant
I made a post about eight months ago titled, "Just found out I need a kidney transplant" soon after I got the news. I was mostly worried at the time about whether my mom would be able to be my donor and who would take care of me/us after the surgery. I can now report, my mom cannot be my donor, and I

Post Transplant psoriatic arthritis treatment
So, here goes! I'm 48 and just "celebrated" 3 years Kidney-versary September 14th! I have PKD and was having a lot of pain and other issues before, so even though I was still around 17% function I was listed for transplant. I was very fortunate though to have a living donor come forward to donate and

Questions
The time has come when I need to make a decision about whether to go with hemo or peritoneal dialysis. That brings up many questions. If on peritoneal dialysis do you ever get a decent nights sleep or are you constantly awakened with alarms pain etc. Is the machine very loud - I have a hard time

Feeling isolated & depressed
My 60-year-old husband is in renal failure, on nightly peritoneal dialysis, and on the transplant list. I've been feeling frustrated, anxious and isolated, and that often comes out in anger. Every day is the same: I work from home, take care of the dog, pay bills, do housework, and have dinner ready

Fibrin in peritoneal dialysis drain fluid
Hi all! I’m back again with a concern regarding my dad who started PD in July. Recently he is having some fibrin (white chunky strands) in his drain fluid. I did some research on it and it’s associated with elevated fibrinogen in the plasma which is furthermore associated with bad outcomes in all of

Dialysis / RLS
Wow, this sub is a lot more active than the Kidney Disease sub, one would think it would be the other way around. I guess RLS is a lot more prevalent than people think? I never experienced or even heard of RLS before starting dialysis but boy did it hit me hard. It's already hard to sleep while doing

Peritoneal Dialysis
Do we have to bandage out sites for the duration of having it? I did not like the belt so I use the lanyards for my catheter; they are more comfortable.

Peritoneal dialysis and high blood pressure
I would really appreciate any feedback from those who are on or have been on PD. My 76 year old dad just started PD this past week. The nephro ordered 1 manual exchange nightly with purple bag (extraneal) but after starting this my dad’s BP has skyrocketed to over 190-210 systolic. His baseline BP before

Update on beginning home dialysis
Hi everyone, I just wanted to update everyone on what eventually happened with the home dialysis. I thank you all for your advice. I began the peritoneal dialysis last week. The nurse was very thorough, patient, and answered all my questions. By the end of a couple of days, I was able to do a manual
