My Husband was admitted to hospital and currently on ICU.
My husband has been in ICU for the last 9 days. We have been told he is critical. His kidneys have failed and he is on dialysis. He is on a ventilator and on 100% oxygen. We feel so deflated after a phone call from the doctors. We understand they do not want to give us false hope but wanted to very

Myoclonus?
Hi, does anyone else here suffer from severe bouts of full-body myoclonus? It started when I was on peritoneal dialysis, in connection with a medication called ropinerole. It continued after I stopped the medication, and even 3 years after my transplant. I've seen neurologists, had EEGs, done everything

Consequently diagnosed with heart failure, sent to a clinic to have

High ALKP (Alkaline Phosphatase) - is it a result of Renal Failure?
Is high Alkaline Phosphatase )ALKP) cause by renal failure, or possibly if one has a high ALKP - this may be the reason for the renal failure? What is the danger of high ALKP and how can it be prevented with severe renal failure (not on dialysis yet). Thanks!

Any advice? Starting PD at home in 2 weeks...
I am starting home PD on Nov 9th. Training on the twin bag method for now (APD) because the drain pain from my flushing has been bad. I hope to use the home choice pro cycler from baxter at some point, maybe once my body gets used to the drain pain, but there’s a chance I will stay on APD and may never

New patient!
Is there a list of questions I should ask my nephrologist when I go for my first visit? I have my bloodwork information for the past 2 years and a list of medications I'm taking to take with me. Nervous as my mother and sister were on dialysis and passed away after just a few years of treatment. Both

Tests all negative. Released around noon today. A couple times I forgot to take a dose of the Eliquis at home and felt

Hi, I am new here. I’m very depressed over...take your pick....Dialysis, COVID-19, my husband’s Alzheimer’s.......
Hi, I’m likely facing dialysis sooner than later, I have a tendency to sluff off sodium, so it runs low/normal, I’m thinking Zoloft is the only antidepressant I could take. If you’re on an antidepressant, which one has worked for you? Does what worked for you fundamentally change once you’re on dialysis
