I’m really scared
Two weeks ago I had a permacath out in for
dialysis
,( my left kidney isn’t working) the permacath site got infected and it was taken out. Now they will place a temporary one during surgery. I just wanna say, I’m scared out if my skin.

What are the risks of a type 1 diabetes going into dialysis?
I was wondering if it reduces your life expectancy significantly to go on
dialysis
when you have type 1 diabetes vs not having diabetes

Dialysis with type 1 diabetes: what does it mean for life expectancy?
I was wondering what it will mean for a family member who will start
dialysis
and has type 1 diabetes. Is life expectancy significantly shorter for him than for people without diabetes?

Metallic taste
I have a few numbers now to call gotten from
dialysis

Cystinosis and Fanconi syndrome
Cystinosis and Fanconi syndrome I was diagnosed when I was around 2 years old,. basically the cystine cells attack the vital organs (in my case the kidneys and the thorax) I was on
dialysis
for 12 years before receiving a transplant last year.

Just had the operation for a fistula what’s the earliest you can start using it for dialysis
Hi I had my fistula operation 3 weeks ago and just had my blood results back and my GFR is now down to 6, I have an appointment with my consultant next week but wanted to ask what is the earliest you can start using a fistula, I know it normally takes 6-8 weeks to mature. I am worried that I won’t last

Has anyone had kidney problems after heart surgery ?
I underwent surgery for a leaky mitral heart valve in September and unfortunately suffered renal failure which meant I was on
dialysis
, until my kidneys recovered. Has anyone else had the same experience ?

Brother age 56 in ICU with Covid and has sepsis, is on dialysis and has had an internal bleed in his bowel.. Is this normal for severe Covid
He has sepsis, is on
dialysis
and has had an internal bleed in his bowel.. Is this common in severe Covid? We are terrified as we just don't know if this is what is expected.

Patient doing fine in spite of Kidney readings alarming since 3 months
When she was tested Hb was 7 eGFR 5 and creatinine serum at 93 Nephrologist decided to try medicine treatment instead of
dialysis
as against her readings she was apparently looking better She got blood and medicine and kidney diet Hb came to 11 however the eGFR and creatinine serum remained constant

Vomiting on sitting up
Has damaged kidneys but managing without
dialysis
. Needs to move to intensive physio but is struggling to sit up for long as is constantly vomiting. Physios say he has to work through it but it is very difficult. Anyone else had similar or has suggestions of how to manage?

Your Favorite Renal Nutrition and Dining Out Hacks and Tricks?
One of my tricks to limit fluids (I am on
dialysis
) is that I have an 8 oz. protein smoothie in the morning with no more drinks the rest of the day nor evening. However, what I do is to suck on ice cubes the rest of the day and evening as needed. This has been effective for me.
