How we chose and adjusted to dialysis - it's not the end of the world!
Hi, My husband (D) is 70 and has end stage
renal
failure
. As he is new to dialysis I thought I would share our experience of choosing and adjusting in case other people find it useful.

She went into

and was on a ventilator for 2 weeks before she started responding to medications. She is doing fairly well right now and is finishing up her last dose of Cytoxin and being started on methotrexate this week.

Interesting News and Information
There have been reports of an increased risk of myocardial infarction in patients on dabigtran and reports outside the UK of fatal bleeding but these reports predominantly relate to elderly patients with
renal
failure
for whom the drugs arguably should not have been prescribed.

My Journey
I had a kidney transplant 10years ago, and am now well and fighting fit. My older sister donated a kidney to me after only having dialysis for 6weeks. I now enjoy working part time and playing golf at every opportunity. You never know what life is going to through at you, but how and what you make it

Son of 14 just diagnosed with WG, any advice?
He fell in on holiday in Greece last week, luckily the medical treatment he received was brilliant, put on dialysis for chronic kidney failure, then plasma replacement to try to halt bleeding in the lungs and methylprednisolene. Air ambulance back to Bristol Childrens Hospital where diagnosis confirmed

This is the beginning of a new community for kidney patients and those who care for kidney patients. We hope it will bring patients and professionals together in a unique community. There are actually three communities here for those interested in early-stage Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Dialysis
