Hemo Dislysis
I am 78 yo , stage 5, and getting my fistula installed next week. I take BP meds, potassium binder, phosphorus binder with few other meds. I am not diabetic. My question is. Can HD remove potassium, phosphorus and sodium and lower my BP without meds?. I am very nervous. Your input will be highly appreciated

still decompensated after 5 months any hope?
my partner diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis on 22.12.21. Stopped drinking that day, 5 months later eating healthy high protein low salt, doing everything he has been asked. At the start sodium was dangerously low so he couldn't take water tablets - now his sodium is back within normal levels whilst

Test Results Are In and There’s Improvement
Hi All, Yesterday, I had my first urinalysis and a renal panel done. This was the last step to take before being referred to a nephrologist. Well, it’s not likely I will be referred now because my creatinine went from 1.13 a year ago to 1.05 yesterday. My GFR went from 52 to 56. (Calculated using

decompensated cirrhosis - aching
Partner diagnosed 22.12.22 decompensated alcohol related cirrhosis. Stopped drinking then. Bloods slowly improving until a bit of a crisis 3 weeks ago when he was suffering from awful edema (he previously couldn't take water tablets due to low sodium). He is back home and bloods are now looking better

Okay, I had my sodium IV this morning. It is amazing! I feel like a different person. I never knew that your sodium level could cause such horrible problems. It was an easy fix. Thank goodness I have a fabulous doctor who rooted out the problem and immediately fixed it! I am really grateful. Thank you

Not a relapse
I have been dealing with some problems lately. I didn’t know if I was having a relapse, but it really didn’t feel like it was MS related. I explained to my doctor that all my bones were aching and I felt a bit confused. Thankfully he really listened and ran some blood work. It turned out that my sodium

Imodium how often?
How often can you take Imodium to help with IBSD and how many do you take? How long before you go out do you take them? Is Loritax the same, it’s cheaper than Imodium? Thanks.

Diarrhoea every afternoon
Just asking advice. Does anyone else have diarrhoea every afternoon no matter what they have eaten? It’s been going on for months now and feel like it’s ruining my life. It’s always about half an hour ish after I’ve eaten and it’s explosive and foul stenching. I have tried all sorts. Even Imodium won

Diarrhea while weaning pred and on actemra
I have had diarrhea almost constantly for 2-3 weeks. Since I started on prednisone and actemra about a year ago, I have had it about once a week, but this is unusual.

Stage 5 symptoms just before dialysis begins
Ok, some of you folks who have gone before me, tell me again what symptoms I should be seeing at stage 5 to know it's "time" to start dialysis. I've been waiting for these symptoms to show up for months and I still feel ok, doing pretty much whatever I want to do (within reason for my age-69). I see
