Kidney hasn’t woken up. Is there still hope?
She is back on
dialysis
but it’s not really helping with the sickness. The covid restrictions in place make it tricky to find out much info as her husband is stuggling to make contact with the Drs on a daily basis.

Does anyone has this rare kidney disease (familial hypercalciuria, hypomagnesemia and nephrocalsinosis)?
I’m trying to prevent
dialysis
and kidney failure with a healthy diet only.

Vein Mapping
My plan is to work and do
dialysis
. It feels hard to figure out. And the unknowns are hard for a planner. Will I be tired? Will I need to nap afterwards? Will work work with me? Will I be able to focus and do my job? Will I be able to have as normal a life as I want?

GFR drop-potassium high
I've been fortunate to not have to do
dialysis
and worried that I may need this before I get a donor & transplant.

PD catheter installation
He wants to increase Amlodophine to 10 mg to lower the BP.My question is once the catheter is installed and healed do I have to go on
dialysis
immediately or I can wait for another year or so till I start feeling bad. I would highly appreciate your help/ know how in this matter.

Stressed Out
During my
dialysis
treatments I've been having severe panic attacks. After discussion with all the docs, we've decided to start using Ativan during treatments. Unfortunately I don't know why I panic. Shit, if I did I would make myself not, ya know? lol It just starts happening.

Is my sister being overly drugged?
She is on
dialysis
(her kidneys failed and I think it was due to ventilator settings- they said they had her on “Covid settings” to give her maximum oxygen. (32 pressure, 10 seconds release 2 seconds -it was like this for 7 days) -we know she’s angry and freaked out about being there.

I have everything to put up with - need some reassurance
I am terrified beyond anything - I cannot keep off reading on google about this and it has become an obsession now.I am due to see the nephrologist in a months time and all this waiting is killing me - I am terrified of
dialysis
- I have read that you itch non stop - that you are constipated beyond reason

Hey! Wanna be friends?
I'm fairly young to the
dialysis
world and sometimes it would be nice to just vent without others thinking its a malpractice suit happening or that something is drastically wrong, when in reality that's just life now with ESRD.

Help for my sister
She is in ESRD and has chosen not to do
dialysis
and has given up hope as the last live donor contracted COVID and since the donor has mild asthma problems the nephrologist has advised no kidney transplant for as least a year since long term effects of COVID are not known.

Family Member needing dialysis what to expect; how to help
Hi everyone, I've been very busy the past couple of weeks someone I know in my family will have to do
dialysis
I think about 2 times a week. I would rather that and still have him here with us after having a severe case of covid last month.

Ckd 3b
I’m researching and being proactive because I don’t want to end up on
dialysis
. The only other test besides blood work and urinalysis was an ultrasound which showed 2 very small cysts on 1 kidney which no one is concerned about. Should I see a kidney nutritionist and how do I find a good one?

Fears and Anxiety
She is in
dialysis
, she had a lung cancroid and later breast cancer. I feel like my anxieties do not allow me to function, in the sense that every time something bothers me I just get very depressed! Scanxiety, or simple troubles haunt me. I deal with them but this time it is BAD.

New Here, Stage 3b Kidney Disease with T1D, feeling down
My mother passed at 55 due to congestive heart failure, but she also had ckd on
dialysis
. My latest nephrology appointment this month involved future discussion of being placed on a transplant list, and looking at kidney failure in my future. I don't know how to cope with how I'm feeling.
