Opioids can cause adrenal insufficiency
Hi everyone, It appears that opioids can cause adrenal insufficiency. This is something I have not seen mentioned here. Does anyone know about this? Here are a few articles. I think this has relevance to anyone trying to taper through the lower doses of pred if they are taking opioids for pain or any

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

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

Transplant.vs dialysis
Hi. I am going through the process for a kidney transplant. I had my first appointment with the transplant deans was supposed by what he was saying. I felt like he was trying to talk me ougetting a transplant. He told me there was no guarantee a transplant would improve my life more than dialysis.

LFT with High Billi
I mentioned before my wife passed away in Jan 2023 due to
renal
failure
. The One Doctor continues to argue she had decompensated cirrhosis. Her last LFTs were really good, actually beyond AST that bounced around when she got sepsis. They remained within a few points of the levels below.

Stage 5 renal failure plus dialysis and cirrhosis of the liver
Wondering if anyone else in the world is dealing with these two together. My husband is, and we're scared. We're hopeful, but doctors don't know how this happened other than being diabetic for decades. Never a drop of alcohol, but a heavy meat eater. Diabetes is in control, A1C too, but hemodialysis

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.

Tired all of the time now.,,
I am sorry if I am repeating myself but all though I am 80 years old, up until this winter I was fully independent, I drive a car, and I could work a small allotment. I am now becoming breathless without exertion and I tend to nap anytime that I sit down. I have seen a Cardiologist this month and am
