Does dialysis make you feel better or worse
My husband's creatinine is at a level 10 and is not on dialysis. He doesn't have too many physical symptoms except a little fatigue and doesn't sleep well. His nephrologist talks to him about but I think he's scared not knowing what to expect. Does it make you feel better or worse? I heard that it makes

Thank all that responded to my request. I eventually found a willing recipient of our leftover dialysis support materials, it's the Furness Hedgehog society. It was the suggestion to contact a Vets that lead me to the. The Vets were not permitted to make use of the materials, neither was anyone else,

Hi. My name is Kathy and I am at renal failure (so they say). I have been fighting this for months. I lived in Milwaukee County all my life and was diagnosed as having Stage 3 for a couple years. I had to move to Green Bay when I was laid off and could not get another job nor afford my high rent.

Transplant eligibility with CHF and T2 diabetes
Hi. I’ve been posting about my husband for a little while now and have gotten the newest test results. It appears that it’s his heart that has caused his kidney problems and not so much the diabetes. He got a virus 21 years ago that caused cardiomyopathy and CHF. It was really bad at first (EF = 18)

Newbie and overwhelmed. Waiting on referrals to be finished to see a nephrologist.
I'm on a rollercoaster of emotions right now. Three months ago I had an efgr of 55. Five days ago they rechecked it and it's dropped to 36.9. They ran it again two days ago and it was 36.7. Not one person in the medical office was concerned. They are making the referrals now but had to pushed to do

I am posting for the first time. I am , still working and I have known about my PKD for twenty years. I am just now getting ready for a live donor transplant this December and I am feeling overwhelmed. While I have slowed down significantly these last few months, I find myself very worried that this

My husband started hemodialysis in April of this year after being on PD for a little over a year. Within weeks, he started being hospitalized for dizziness and large drops in blood pressure. Recently (over the last 6 weeks), he has been sent to the ER from dialysis 3 times because he's having chest

Peritineal Dialysis

Does anyone else experience anything like this. This started about 4 months into my dialysis, and occurs several nights. My treatment

How is your wellbeing fund?
Read more about it here - carve out some reflection time to consider the categories you are thriving in and those that need a bit more love. Change is always possible. So important to remind ourselves of that regularly especially against a backdrop of dialysis and all that comes with it. Enjoy! https

Can anyone make use of residue dialysis support materials?
I supported my son-in-law at our home during his dialysis. He's had his operation and is recovering. I now have plenty of his support fluids, needles etc at my home. Is there any organisation that will make use of the following, much of which is still sealed. 12 box SAK402; 1 box BD Plastipak; 2 box

Preparing for Fistula
I am a newbie to this site, and recently entered stage 5 kidney disease. I went from a GFR of 26 to 7 in 6 months. I am scheduled to have a 2-stage surgery to move a being close to an artery, to prepare for a fistula in just a few days. The reason for a two stage procedure? I have small veins, and
