Dialysis Nurses Trying to give unsolicited medical advice
At my dialysis center I currently use a permacath due to my graft that I've had for 6 years stopped working. Tried having it declotted. But, they don't last forever. The Charge Nurse keeps hounding me about a new access. I've had 2 PD pumps before both after the graph. The first one placed on the left

Chronic Kidney Disease
My mother is 80, and last year she had a GFR rate of 26, this year she had a blood test and the following day several of her medicines were stopped without a reason being given. She also hasn’t drank the recommended fluid amount every day either, only about 1.5ltr. Lorsartan, Furosemide, Apixaban were

Wondering about protein in urine
Hi, I have been loosing anywhere from 300mg to 800mg of protein in my urine per 24 hours for about 4 years now. My creatinine and GFR and all other markers are always perfect (thank God). I'm wondering how my kidneys are showing damage (by the proteinuria) but my blood tests are always perfect. I do

Has anyone stayed at a steady elevated creatinine level for a long time?
I am at 1.4 and have a creatinine clearance of 136.6 I am 22 and my doctor says my level is normal. But my creatinine has been 1.54 and 1.7 in the past. So I am confused. Any feedback is appreciated.

Advagraf dosage
I reduce the dose of advagraf for 9 months after the transplant, but the level of tacrolimus does not decrease. I started with 9mg, but now I use only 5mg. Tacrolimus levels are around 11-12. My doctor recommends that I use only 3mg - is it not too small?

Living on dialysis
Hi jayhawker its Mj 1965, its been a while.b4 I started dialysis I wanted to go on haemodialysis but I was advised by my nephrologist to go on PD dialysis because if I went on haemodialysis it would make me feel worse and I would feel drained all the time. You know what its the best decision I made.

Concerned
My son is 3 years post kidney transplant & his creatinine has never been really stable. He starts to creep up & they do a biopsy & everything is normal. He drinks a gallon of water a day. He will end up going back down only to go up again. Anybody else seen this?
