Just add Water....
Interesting article on the benefit (or lack of proven overall GFR benefit) for drinking a lot of water for kidney disease pre-dialysis: https://jasn.asnjournals.org/content/19/6/1041 Personally I do not drink that much water (just normal when thirsty) at this point (eGFR 9.2) because I fear that once

Integrating a holistic approach to kidneys
My kidneys have been amongst my wisest teachers. Teachers come in many forms, don't they? As we are in such an evolutionary time, it's so important we honour who we truly are, and share the stories in safe harbour, about our journey. Not from victimhood, but from celebration of the human spirit. For

BK virus and Low WBC
Hi - my dad received a kidney transplant about 4 months ago and at first everything looked great. But recently it showed he had the BK virus. First they lowered his CellCept dose and two weeks later the virus had increased. So they removed CellCept completely and his virus levels were coming down. However

Beatkidneydisease.com-does it work?
The company I have asked about back up their claims with clinical trial information and reviews BUT can this possibly be as good as they claim My mum is in stage 4 and she's 98 so I doubt they will offer transplant or dialysis Thanks

Traveling to Venice, Italy
Hello, I am traveling to Venice, Italy in October and have exhausted all searches for locations for hemodialysis. Nephrocare, Davita and any other sight that talks about overseas travel does not list Venice as a dialysis location, which cannot be the case. I am hoping someone can give me the name of

Low or very low protein diets. If you've no uremia, will you obtain any benefit?
I had uremia at CKD3a/b (uremia =higher levels of urea than there ought to be present in your blood). I was at 13.5 when the normal range is 2.5 to 7.8 (thankfully, I'm now at 6.4 due to diet). Because I had uremia at CKD 3a/b, I assumed everyone else would have some sort of uremia at CKD 3a/b. When

Dialysis HEADACHE!
I get a headache almost every time I go to dialysis lately. My blood pressure goes up during dialysis and that may be the trigger, but curious if anyone else has had this issue and how they deal with it or avoid it. I tried magnesium supplements and that does seem to help.

Hints for talking to kids?
My husband is about to start dialysis (P.D.) while we’re getting him on the transplant list. We have a 4 year old and need to explain it to him in an age-appropriate way. Does anyone have any resources or hints? I’m not seeing a lot online. Thanks!
