Kidney Patient Guide

My sister was going to donate one of her kidneys to my husband, her first husband had died and she was in a new relationship but her 15 year old daughter started to suffer panic attacks. She was worried that she was going to lose her mum as well as her Dad, it got that bad she wouldnt attend school ...

I suffered lots of warts on my fingers/hands years ago. My grandmother told me an old fashioned remedy, 'wee' on them. I didnt do that, but when my children where babies and wore terry's nappies I would rinse them before washing and my warts just disappered and to this day never had anymore. It must...

Iam so sorry for the lost of your Mum. At the moment everthing seems 100x worse than what they are. The stress of losing your Mum is lifes hardest tasks, no-one can ever replace your mum. We have a funeral on Friday my daughters mother in law died and she was only 57. Maybe your kidney function as g...

We have enjoyed reading your posts, I even read the newspaper article, a lovely story.

You are really a text book patient. Your figurers are brilliant. Hope everything carries on going well for you.

We saw the transplant after care team, she said it will be with all the surgery, we have got an appointment to see the consultant on the 1st Feb. they dont seem to be worried, said it will take some time to drain away. If it goes any worse before the appt. date will go and see his own GP. Thank you ...

I know this is very personal, and I think my husband will be embarrased if he knew I posted this, but since his transplant in August and all the other various operations his testacles have gone bigger and bigger. The swelling is now very large. I keep telling him to mention it when we go to clinic b...

Congratulations!!!! Good luck to you both x x x

Keep us informed of your journey

When my husband had his angigram, a different dye was used a kidney friendly one (not sure of name) and afterwards he was put on an iv drip for several hours

Good luck to you Mike, A mother will do what ever she can for her child no matter what age.

Keep us all updated. Our prayers are with you all,

Well done Mum

When we go to clinic there is a young couple late twenty's early thirties who attend with a young baby, I have seen the baby grow from new born to now nearly walking. The husband as just had a transplant, he is also deaf and wears an ear aid. They have told us so many funny stories of the alarms goi...

My husbands out put is still 8 - 10 ltrs per day, having to drink that much as well. He is also on fludrocortisone, Had transplant in August, but still not settled down yet

A very Merry Christmas to everyone and a healthy 2012.

They took the stent out on Monday, and his ureter failed again, urine backed up into his kidney. Today they have done more surgery, they have found his own ureter and attached it to his new kidney and bladder. They said there is nothing else they can do now. We are just hoping it works. I have faith...

If anybody is really short of anything our spare room is still floor to ceiling with boxes!!! dont have the heart to destroy yet.

So pleased for you. We had a few people who wanted to donate, but one by one they pulled out, all had their personal reasons. My sister went through the tests to nearly the end, then her husband died and the transplant was put on hold. When she decided to carry on her daughter became very distraught...
