Should I be worried?

Post by bigboi97 »

I have been a dialysis patient for 2 years now.

I have been seeing some cuts and scabs on various places on my body. I have seen them on my arms, legs and back. I got someone else to look at my back that's how I noticed.

Below is a picture of the venous tube (the blue one) while I was having dialysis.

As you can see at the bottom of the tube there is something that looks very strange. I hope it isn't what I think it is but I am worried. I have done some research online and they said it could be Scabies (Sarcoptes scabiei).

You should really be talking to a Dr, take a blood sample in and talk to the experts
Now 35 with Alports and I had my first kidney-versary 18th feb 2013....I hope to have many more.

My living donor and his family are doing all well.
