Max UFR Rate in HD-Dialysis (3.5 Hours)
Can I ask you that during my dialysis, after a while they (the nurse or technician) always increase the UFR, and I figure out will be higher than the CMS guideline 13/ml/kg/hr, sometimes even 18/ml/kg/hr. I am afraid that Myocardial stunning could be happened. Kindly pls advise. TKS again.

PD Dialysis - Week 6 - Houston we have a problem
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING EXPERIENCE IS MINE. DO NOT ASSUME YOU WILL HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE! DO NOT TAKE IT AS NEGATIVE TOWARD PD DIALYSIS. I wanted to post this addendum at the top to let folks know that doing manual PD revealed an issue with my back that had been hiding in the wings. I doubt any of you will

Ok, I do apologize for the delay in reporting all of this. I'll explain below. NOTE: The notes below portray MY experience based on my medical conditions. No one reading this should assume that you will have a similar experience. I've never heard anyone else say they had the issue with their back that

QUEENing like a G
Yeah that title is kinda full of Slang and maybe not very Queeny. I don't even know what it all means. I've been gone a minute. I had two classes to finish and a week of an exam that will signify if I am able to move forward or not in my program. So I have left it in God's hands and I'm moving on. I

Massive Headaches During Dialysis
I really need some help if there's anyone who can help. I am a "complex patient" who has Crohn's disease, bowel resections as well as ESRD. Chronic anemia too. Unlike most dialysis patients I have low magnesium, low potassium, low sodium. The headaches I have are excruciating. I take 4x 500mg

PD Dialysis - Week 5 - Training Day 4
So today (Thursday), it was solo flight day. The PD nurse had me go through the entire connection procedure (which I will document once I get it all typed up this weekend) myself. No major mistakes other than spilling some iodine from the Cap onto my pants (learned to put something over my pants when

PD Dialysis - Week 5 - Training Day 3
For Day Three (Wednesday), this was practice, practice, practice day. My PD nurse first filled me with 1500ml of 1.5 ml of PD solution. NOTE: We decided to go back to 1.5 solution because the 2.5 solution from Day 2 caused me to wake up at 2:30 and again at 4:30 with leg cramps. Not fun. Seems that's

I just got back from my kidney doctor. My GRF dropped from 43 to 36. He said it was not consistent. I take a low dose of blood pressure meds triamterene 37 broke in half and a small Dosage of Zoloft. I drink water but not huge amounts of it. He said it could be the heat or a number of things. I got

PD Dialysis - Week 5 - Training Day 2
Today, my PD nurse hooked me up and filled me with 1200ml of PD solution 2.5 today and I was to "Dwell" for 4 hours. She checked the TB test she did yesterday and it is looking ok. She also had me to bring my vaccination and immunization records that I keep on a card at home as well as my Covid immunization

PD Dialysis - Week 5 day 1 - training begins
So today, I drove to the Fresenius dialysis clinic for my first day of PD training. Last Wednesday, since my training had been put off a week waiting for Baxter supplies to come in, my PD nurse had given me an iPod with the PD training modules pre-loaded. But I discovered that after I had logged into

Food when on PD Dialysis
I haven't really seen this but what all do you eat? I'm not yet there and at 17% I'm mostly eating plants. So if I was on PD can I eat what I like while sticking to healthy food but what about high potassium foods like potatoes, tomatoes, cantaloupe, bananas and the like? Since I am taking meds for

Pressure along diaphragm
Hi guys, I just have a quick question for those of you who are getting low on your GFR like myself (12gfr) not on dialysis, have you ever experienced a sense of pressure in your abdominal area just below your diaphragm? Along with this, the bottom of my sternum where my xiphoid process is along with

PD Dialysis - Week 4 day 3 - approved for shower!
So, since my official PD training got put off till next week, my PD nurse had me come in today for another dressing change and "flush" of my pd catheter. She did not do the "sterile" setup for this, just the "clean" set up that included the extreme hand washing techniques and she did use clean gloves

PD Dialysis - Week Four Day Two Baxter site issue
So my PD nurse set me up an account with Baxter, the company who will supply my cycler (Amia) and the PD solutions and other stuff. Baxter sent me an email with my account username and asked me to create a password and a security question. I did all that, then was taken to the page shown in the first
