PD -what are the cons (everyone talks about the pros) other than infection?
I prefer Peritoneal Dialysis over Hemo and talked to several Kidney advocates and nurses. All talk about the pros compared to Hemo. Except for infection I have not heard many other risks or discomforts from direct patients. Would like to hear from and connect with anyone who is currently on PD or has

Creatinine increase
My baseline creatinine was 1.8, but since April it has gone up, and is now at 2.7. Last week I was admitted to my transplant center hospital for 4 days, a biopsy was done that ruled out rejection. I don't think I'm hydrating like I should, but I don't know what's wrong. The surgeon said my kidney

Why would a kidney with no function hurt?
Hello my boyfriend who is 24 is going to dialysis due to his chronic kidney disease however he is having extreme pain in his kidney and we don’t understand why. Also has anyone experienced trouble breathing or fluid build up in the lungs even if dialysis wasn’t missed and you watched your fluid intake

2 months covid 19
Hi i just discovered this site and figured I'd share my story. My father caught this virus late March. He was hospitalized April 2nd since he had shortness of breath. He was treated with some antibiotics and steroids. They also tried hydroxychlorequine. He was getting oxygen support and was improving

Chronic kidney Disease. I want to reduce my creatinine count gradually. I have no guidance from my family. Which medicine should I follow?
I'm a CKD patient undergoing dialysis Treatment weekly twice. Please tell me how to reduce my creatinine count. I mean what diet as an Indian I should follow. I'm undergoing dialysis Treatment for the last 5 months. Please let me know in detail.

Living on a narrowboat
I am likely to start on dialysis some time this year and was going to opt for peritoneal dialysis. Does anyone have any idea if this is viable on a narrowboat? I would be considering the overnight dialysis, not continual. Many thanks for any thoughts.

Nerve pain
I've been on PD dialysis for 16 months, very compliant, have diabetes (controlled) and hypertension (controlled). I have been experiencing significant pain in my feet and ankles nightly around 4am. Painful to even walk but the pain abates over the morning. I'm pretty sure it's neuropathy. I already

Covid X Kidneys
So yeah, it's day 48 for us. My mom is struggling a lot with delirium, muscle wastage and some bedsores on her back. My concern now is her kidneys which are not working properly and she is having dialysis from time to time. Doctors told us they have no ideia if that will be a permanent condition. What

Selenium Deficiency: possible relationship to, Immune system, Digestion, Crohns, Hair loss, Infertility, Weight gain, Fatigue...etc
Looking for something in the cupboard yesterday I came across my opened packet of Brasil Nuts... And I thought, ah ha... SELENIUM! Just 2 to 3 nuts per day as I recall, is the required daily amount...ingesting the food containing the selenium is always better than taking the supplement of course. During
