Kidney Doctor
Can't seem to get an appointment any time soon and I'm worried. What is the kidney doctor "really" going to do? My GP is testing my blood weekly (which I think I might switch to monthly) Had an ultrasound...normal. My BP and sugar is good. Eating much better, exercising. I feel pretty good....a little

NT Pro BNP increase in atrial flutter/fibrillation
Hi Last week when I was at emergency for tachycardia and atrial flutter, they did a Brain NT Pro BNP test. My value was 540. I didn’t even know about this test after I was discharged. No one discussed about it I checked online and it said it measures heart failure which made me worry very much Yesterday

Peritoneal Dialysis
My husband and I are training to do PD. He had the permanent catheter implanted and it is working fine. Someone recommended that he should get a fistula in his arm as a backup. Is that usually done?

Post-ablation progress
The purpose of my ablation in July was to reduce my high ectopic burden, the theory being that the arrhythmia was the cause of my heart failure. Analysis of a recent 7-day holter recording shows that my ectopic rate is now down at 1.7%, so I saw my cardiologist yesterday for an echocardiogram. He gave

Alternative Therapy to Preserve Renal Transplants
I had a live-donor renal transplant 13 years ago, but I'm well aware that such transplants usually only last 15 years so I am looking for ways to preserve its function. I now take Renadyl, which contains microflora which have been shown in several scientific studies to reduce levels of uremic toxins

Thyroid test results trying to work them out
I’m curious to know if my thyroid function may be playing any part in my
renal
failure
and other conditions and I have osteo arthritis apparently also. Any advice based on these results I’d be most grateful. Thank you Angela

Antibiotics
Please be aware - be your own expert or use your clinical specialist service if you have any queries. I recently had a basal cell carcinoma removed and skin graft on my nose. I knew this was a possibility because of the immunosuppressant I was taking post transplant and had spoken about it’s possible

Lonely Road
I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for most of my life. I recently have come out of a battle with Congestive Heart Failure. I was so happy to be able to live, but instead of gaining a new life, I fell into a very lonely hole of depression and anxiety. I’m too heavy a weight for my family so I

Can I donate a kidney?
I was told I cannot donate a kidney as the diabetes increases my own chance of
renal
failure
at some point in my life. Apart from the diabetes I'm perfectly healthy. The diabetes is well controlled, my kidneys are regularly checked as part of the diabetes monitoring.

Gfr of 10 but feeling well - is this possible ?
Hi everyone. My son is 23 and only 4 months ago we learned he had CKD and his gfr was 20. Last week we were told it is now just 10. Aside from occasional tiredness however he is feeling totally fine. No other symptoms of kidney failure at all. Is this normal ? He wants to delay dialysis as long as possible
