Re: egfr reading

Bit of good news for a change. My kidney nurse telephoned me today to say that that my blood results showed my potassium level had decreased to below 6 and my eGFR has crept up to 17.5. Made my day.

Re: egfr reading

Following my consultation yesterday, I was given details about possible dialysis and transplant options. Getting a bit scary now. Had a blood teest but won't know the results for a few days.

Re: egfr reading

It was a bit frightening the first time. The hardest part was assembling the syringe! I see my consultant on Thursday.

Re: Kidney Scan Request

My consultant has now put me on 30 mcgs self administered injections of Micera every 28 days, as my my haemoglobin level is now 79 and it should be nearer 100.

Re: Kidney Scan Request

Not at all happy. My consultant put me on a new tablet which upset my heart rhythm so much, I had to be rushed into hospital on the point of collapse. I am now back home with a new medication which seems to be working but it was very frightening.

Re: Kidney Scan Request

I have been diagnosed with Diabetic Nephropathy. Put on two new mediactions and stopped Amlodipine. So could have been a lot worse!

Re: Kidney Scan Request

I see my consultant tomorrow for my biopsy results. Hoping for good news, although since I had the biopsy on 15th July and I haven't heard from the hospital, I guess that no news is good news.

Re: Kidney Scan Request

The results of the scan were not conclusive and I have now been told I have to undergo a kidney biopsy which is being arranged for next week. Getting a bit scary now.
