Awaiting Kidney Transplant
Hello, everyone. I have questions about being prepared for a kidney transplant. I feel completely unprepared and do not know what questions to ask my transplant coordinator. I have been on dialysis for five years. I have a potential donor who is well into the evaluation process at my transplant center

PD Dialysis.
Hi, I just got my PD cath placed on this past Friday. I am bloated and uncomfortable. I haven’t started my PD training yet. I understand bloating is involved with PD, but is it going to be constant? I have had so many weight changes and I was JUST getting adjusted to my smaller weight. I plan on going

Had surgery, getting ready to train for PD Dialysis.
I had surgery on March 20. As everyone posted, not bad at all. Minor discomfort but no actual pain. Must make sure to mention this to my Dr. thanks for the unnecessary stress. Dr had told me “of course it would be painful.” I met with the nurses at the center and what wonderful people. Wish

DIALYSIS
I have been on dialysis for about 18 months and really have had very little side effects either before, during, or after. I am still producing urine. Question: How have you done on dialysis? How long have you been on it? Do you have problems the longer you are on it? What kind of problems have you

I'm new. 1st post. Stage 5 and feeling it.. this is my 2nd rodeo but 30 years later
I've been stage 5 for about 6 months now but even though my nephrologist originally said I could get down to a 5 GFR before dialysis and possibly go another year or two, I really don't see that happening. Last check my numbers were GFR 13, BUN 45, Creatinine 4.7. My RBC and Hemoglobin were only slightly

Which type of PD if you are still working and travel for work?
I have a consult with the surgeon and the dialysis center this week. My neurologist recommends PD, but since I still work and travel for work, I was wondering if any of you had recommendations. It seems like getting dialyzed at night would work best just because I often have lunch meetings and meetings

Living on dialysis
Hi jayhawker its Mj 1965, its been a while.b4 I started dialysis I wanted to go on haemodialysis but I was advised by my nephrologist to go on PD dialysis because if I went on haemodialysis it would make me feel worse and I would feel drained all the time. You know what its the best decision I made.
