Introduction post
Hello I am 72 years old and I just recently started dialysis for my kidney disease. I am also looking into getting a donor kidney and prior to receiving that I have to lose at least 40 pounds and become much healthier. I am hoping this program will help me in both of those endeavors.

My mam has suffered dreadful nausea but her first bout of dialysis in over three weeks, plus anti sickness pills seems to have regained some appetite and she’s kept her few bites of chicken down. As we’re still awaiting on the dieticians advice, can anyone tell me what the best foods were for you or

KT/V Test
I recently took Another KT/V and it came back below passing… with that being said I’m set to retake it again next week and if I don’t get a passing number on this next one then they will put me back on Hemodialysis which I feel will be a death sentence because I went to PD because the staff that worked

Need info on weight gain and PD
I am learning about different dialysis methods. My nephrologist is leaning toward PD when the time comes. However, I am hearing that PD can put on weight very easily. How do people deal with that? And how, if your diabetic, do you deal with the glucose solution?

Seeking advice
My egfr result is 18 but my Nephrologist says it's realistically nearer 15. I have damage/calcification to my kidneys thought to be caused by extreme intake of vit D over extended period. I have extreme needle and hospital phobias. I am 42. My weight is 43 kg. Dialysis and transplant may not be possible

Creatinine 1.92
I just celebrated 15 years with my kidney and it was a cadaver and has served me well. I lately haven’t had a taste for drinking water and have been drinking the Pierre Fusion drinks with mineral water and juice flavors.
