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 ?

New here: CKD Stage 2
Hi, I am 32 and just got some blood tests back from my gp and I am really concerned by the results: - high serum creatinine 110 umol/l (gfr at 63) - acr 0.5 g/mol I am really worried about the consequences for my health in general and how it is going to progress. Does it mean I am going to be on dialysis

Keep thinking about how many more years I can live
I know it’s useless to do so, but I just can’t help with it. Especially after I learned that GFR decreases at a rate of 1 every year after the age of 40 even for normal healthy people. ( I’ve been attending Google Medical School recently) I’m 43 years old now and my GFR is 56, although everything is

Feedback on those on dialysis
I am very near dialysis. I have been told about several methods and wondered which is easier , also interested in those who are doing theirs at home.

Hello! My name is Holly, and I’m 4 months post transplant. I’m feeling more energetic and stronger, but my hair is coming out fast. I just ordered a wig, but I’m not sure I’ll ever wear it. I also have kidney failure and do dialysis . They’re trying to get me to move my catheter from my chest to my stomach

LSD acid on Dialysis
My teen is ESRD and has been for two years. He has also struggled with Leukemia, and anxiety/depression. He has a friend that's telling him to use LSD! He's been doing research online and he's convinced he wants to try it... I'm worried sick. I've seen online that acid is metabolized in the liver, so

Diet changes, it is complicated
I had a slip in my GFR in November. I had an gastritis this fall and although I did not take anything, it may have impacted me. I also had fallen away from my diet as we sometimes do in time. I thought it was appropriate for a tune up. I went to see the renal dietician I saw 3 years ago. She is an expert

A long-awaited letter
In 2015 I gave a talk to a TUK forum on the poor quality control and performance of free T4 and free T3 assays then used. The situation hasn't changed in the meantime, but I got a letter accepted in a journal on this very subject: It will appear very soon but since it will be behind a paywall I'm giving

Living donors
For those of you who have gotten a living donor, how did you start the conversation? I am struggling with sharing my need, and my more immediate family has not been very receptive to the thought of donating. I am not currently on dialysis, but that is probably only a few months away. Thanks, Paul

Peripheral Neuropathy in feet
Hi everyone. I have painful , numb feet due to PN for about a year. Did not improve during dialysis and now that I recently had a kidney transplant I am hoping there may be some change? Treating it with pregabalin for the pain. Has anybody else had the same and found any improvement?
