Hi again, I know have results that I can share from recent blood test. Any advice would be great. Sodium 142 normal range Potassium 4.2 normal range. Creatinine 102 outside normal range , eGFR (CKD - EPI ) 1.73 49 unit = * = m *2. Hoping someone can decipher this? Thanks 😊

Timings of NDT and iron supplements
Hi all, I'm struggling to maintain ferritin levels whilst also trying to adhere to the timings of iron supplements around my NDT and other vitamins. My ferritin is rarely higher than 20s (in the last ten years the highest it has been was 52 just once). I've been on NDT for a year and am gradually

Stress, again taking a comeback....
So I have been at work for 10 months and I have had to move rooms that I work in, honestly to help out that room and put the managers mind at rest I would be OK doing it. Well I thought it was lasting a couple of months but it hasn't. I ended up getting stressed out because of the noise and doing nothing

I need some help with this
I am having the most painful but weird cramping. It is only a night and it is getting worse, not better. Yesterday I had them and I did not have dialysis because we infiltrated the fistula, AGAIN. We thought it was the iron I was taking, but I stopped that last week. These cramps are not in my calves

Sodium cromoglycate inhaler (Intal)
Can anyone share their experience getting Intal inhaler since it has been delisted in the UK? Or, do you now take it via a nebulizer instead? If yes, can you share the name of the nebulizer device and the manufacturer of the cromolyn/chromoglycate solution? Pubmed indicates it's less effective than

Could be some positivity for frequent UTI sufferers.
Good morning folks. Just entering the fourth year since my GCA diagnosis and having suffered around 17 UTI's in that time (hospitalised with two) along with constant symptoms in between, I've swallowed tons of D-Mannose, cranberry supplements, given up caffeine, artificial sweeteners, used vaginal pessaries

water balance?
I have what the phlebotomists call "little rolly veins" which translates into multiple sticks at blood draws and having to wait for the "vein whisperer" guy to be available, also very slow and insufficient draws when the vein they finally managed to tap collapses, that kind of thing. So I drink a lot
