Tab Nefrosave
I am a Type II diabetic with creatinine 2.0. My doctor has suggested Tab Nefrosave (Morning & Evening) along with other sugar and BP medicines. Can anybody guide me regarding the benefits of Nefrosave.

?Haem or peritoneal dialysis
My eGFR is 12 and I am having a fistula made. Consultant calls it'planned dialysis' although I don't need it right now. I prefer idea of haemodialysis but would really appreciate other peoples' experiences. Look forward to hearing from you. Manon

I have seen my consultant today we have discussed dialysis, I have had a fistula fitted but it hasn't worked so am waiting to have another fitted. he suggested I think about the perennial dialysis which I don't like the idea of. he also suggested I cut out potassium in my diet, I already don't add

TEST RESULTS @ LANCASTER UNRELIABLE
I just discovered that my results from Lancaster are incorrect. They claimed numerous times that I had an overactive thyroid. I went to Blackpool and got normal results. I had my results from Lancaster reviewed and found out that they are unreliable. This is very worrying for people who are put on medication

Sickness ...
Hello all. I was diagnosed with good pastures syndrome in March this year. It has left me with chronic renal failure. I started haemodialysis and recently changed to peritoneal dialysis. I feel sick most if the time but it seems to get worse in the evenings. Has anyone else found this? If so what did

It is now over a year since I had a kidney transplant. I have just been referred back to Ipswich Hospital, for all things relating to the actual transplant. I am however, for the present anyway, remaining under Addenbrooke's Hospital for vasculitis. The new doctor that I'm under , DR Ande (Andy) IS

Calcichew
I have been taking calcichew for several years and have had no problems with them [ I take one a day ] I had a bone scan recently which revealed my bone density had improved since my last one 2 years ago, so no treatment required, however I continued to take them. My question is can too much calcium

Who do you talk to when you feel very down?
I feel like I haven't been allowed to be honest to anyone about how very down I feel. Being ambivolent about accepting renal replacement therapy has led to wild accusations from doctors - that I am begging for money, manipulative. They don't seem to get it - some of us have been so bullied by bad partners

Renal Transplant Optimisation Trial - Positive T-Antibody
Hi - just thought I'd share this, I wrote it to explain to a relative what was happening. I know it is more about my transplant than the APS, but someone might have some thoughts so I thought it might be worth sharing.... Tx I guess it started a few weeks back; my relationship was on the rocks,

Repeating the basics of insulin.It is copy and paste from a web site.
Rapid-acting insulin, begins to work about 15 minutes after injection, peaks in about 1 hour, and continues to work for 2 to 4 hours. Types: Insulin glulisine (Apidra), insulin lispro (Humalog), and insulin aspart (NovoLog) Regular or Short-acting insulin usually reaches the bloodstream within 30 minutes
