We had just ended our first week of home dialysis when we got the call for the transplant. The supplies are new and in unopened shipping boxes. I hate to see this go

Healthy New Year’s Checklist for People with Kidney Disease
For those of you on Original Medicare, you know that at the beginning of each year you are advised about a Wellness Check that OM will cover. For those of you who have other insurance you may or may not receive something similar. In any case, I thought this checklist would be valuable for all to see

Ideas to Stay Warm During Dialysis
Hi everyone, I'm looking for ideas for ways to stay warm and comfortable during in-center dialysis. It's important to leave your face and dialysis access uncovered to be safe during treatment. What are some things you do to stay warm during treatment? Electric blankets? Gloves? Special sweaters? All

Need Encouragement
I joined back in 2018, but this is my first time posting. So feel like I am new here. I was diagnosed with Kidney Disease in 2018. Before that my PCP always did blood test and told me I needed to drink more water because my kidney count was down. Then told me to take another blood test a week later.

Not Sure What All the Lab Results Mean???
