Planning to travel abroad this summer? Before you go, remember to look into Medicare coverage outside the United States. If you have Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance), your health care services and supplies are covered when you’re in the U.S. However, in general, Medicare

FIVE SURPRISING WAYS YOU COULD BE DAMAGING YOUR KIDNEYS
Once we get told about having CKD our first reaction is often, "WHY?" If we know we have Diabetes and/or High Blood Pressure that somewhat mitigates the reason. However, there are many of us who if we find out that we are prone to getting CKD we could take action to stop or slow it down. It takes

Nephrologist appointment yesterday
I just saw my nephrologist yesterday and he took me off my fluid pill because my blood pressure was too low. He will check again in a month to follow u on it. He left me on my Lisinopril 10mgs because it protects my kidneys long term. My egfr is 35 and creatinine is 1.58. He feels the fluid pill was

ckd 4 and alport syndrome
First time posting! I was diagnosed with proteinuria 20 years ago. I have taken meds ever since. In the last 2 years my kidneys have declined and I now have a GFR of 21. Dr. says next time I will register with transplant unit. I have changed my diet to be low potassium, but my dr hasn't said anything

Low blood pressure after treatments
I have been on hemodialysis for a little over 3 months, and I have started having a problem with low blood pressure at the end of each treatment. My systolic is usually in the 80s and diastolic in the 50s or sometimes even the 40s. The clinic won't let me go unless my systolic is 100 or above. Usually

Does supplementary insurance help?
I ask this because my transplant center is not in-network for Humana Advantage & I overheard someone in the Dr.'s office say (they heard) it would be better. There is the additional cost to consider & whether or not I am considered pre-existing. Dialysis 1 year, diabetes, anemia. Any hope for help

Getting Ready For a Fistula, am nervous, any advice?
I had a ultrasound of both arms and passed for a fistula but was told by the surgeon it could take up to 3 hours on anesthesia. I thought it was just numbing the area; how wrong was I! According to the surgeon, if one area isn't good he goes to another part of the arm until he finds a good vein and
