dialysis
within the next couple of weeks. Looking for guidance and to learn on how to choose the right treatment. do I opt for Haemodialysis for APD? what should I worry about and plan for?

Quality of life on immunosuppressants
I felt better in kidney failure before
dialysis
started than I do now at five months post kidney transplant. I am 49, and I have a healthy diet and I have been pushing myself to get 30-40 minutes of cardiovascular activity at least 4 times per week. I take care of myself very well.

Are doctors always right when they say there's no chance of survival or miracles happen?
. :,( Edit: He's on ECMO,
dialysis
and almost 4 month on ventilator. He can hear but not respond. They've tried weaning off but failed. Most of his family got covid so seems like he's been alone all by himself. :(

Seeking advice
Dialysis
and transplant may not be possible due to my extreme phobias. My diet is almost vegan. I have several additional health conditions including Osteomylacia and have experienced several fractured/broken bones. Advice please.

Bed time meal
I have end stage renal dease but not on
dialysis
yet. I'm 54 yrs old and married. I'm just looking to see if others might say I do have a disorder and if so, what would it be called? I was considered malnutrition a few yrs ago. I had an aneurysm at that time and they put a feeding tube in.

Challenging/appealing Passive euthanasia resulting from patient's own will.
He's on ECMO, ventilator and
dialysis
. I don't have information on exact kind of life support. He's never awakened but he can hear but not respond (what does it mean?). Seems like it depends on the level of sedation when reduced to a state where patients could respond.

Let's talk about BP and CKD. (Take your ACE at night if using it for BP too?)
Just another reason why we'll typically die of a cardiovascular incidents rather than ever get to that comparative Nirvana called "
dialysis
or transplant" Question as an aside: how many of you here have had their doctor check whether they are dippers or no?

Recovery from fistula surgery
I just had my vascular surgery consult for creating a fistula for hemo
dialysis
. They were not clear on how long recovery would be. I need both of my hands to work and to go to the bathroom (I have an ileostomy.)

Graft for Dialysis
He recommended that, although difficult to predict, I should wait until I'm ready to start
dialysis
and just about one month prior to that I should have a Graft put in, ready to be used for
dialysis
.
