The Transplant Surgeons manage my labs and meds. I had an awesome Nephrologist up until my transplant, but was switched to a Transplant Neph after my surgery; lets just say that I’m less than thrilled with him.

@Andrew-thanks. Both Transplant Surgeons that follow me are phenomenal.

Well done and what a good surgeon.

And that you have such a great surgeon to respond that fast! I have not seen my surgeon since he came to see me once after surgery. I see my local Nephrologist. Transplant docs are 2 states away. Stay healthy! Good to hear from you!

Thank you for the info.

This is great! I have a family member that is worried that he may develop PKD (too young to tell yet). I’ve been telling him all along, that medical science is advancing all of the time (my mom was on dialysis in the mid-late 70′s, and even since then, the advancements are profound). If he does get PKD, he may not even have to deal with what I’ve had to deal with!

Nice to hear from you, and hopefully my posts will help as you face dialysis.

Trust me, it’s all about attitude, and for myself, wasn’t as bad as I anticipated.

Best of luck to you!

Terrified of the idea of dialysis in the not too distant future to be honest…
Keep on the good work and good discipline.
Thanks for sharing your insights

All the luck in the world!

From Portugal

This is an article about clinical trials for a “wearable” kidney for kids in Germany. So cool! Just wanted to share this interesting article.

Hope all is well with you!
