Everyone's management plan for chronic kidney disease may look different. There may be a combination of medication, dialysis, transplant, diet, exercise, and more. How are you currently managing your CKD? Please chime in and share!

I have had a kidney transplant for three years and just celebrated it on the 3rd of this month! I’m on a lot of different medications for it from anti-rejection drugs to steroids, two different blood pressure, and more. It’s a blessing being able to have a health transplant, of course, there’s food I have to avoid because of the medication but it’s not a big issue as it’s something I can live without like Shushi it’s all worth it in the end lol.
Thank you, Sabad (Team Member)

Plan?? What plan???? I get labs done twice a year and go to the specialist twice a year to hear my results of my labs. I would think there would be more involved with such a serious condition. No advice or direction on what to avoid or not avoid. No direction on what to eat or not to eat. I am lost.

I am not impressed with having stage 5 and need hemodialysis. I have had a fistula that never worked and had a graft that is not much better I have had 7 sessions of hemodialysis with 4 success and 3 infiltrated 1 trip to access clinic to have graft unclogged. It is not looking too positive I am being trained to do home hemodialysis 5x a week but I don't see an up side I Pray it will get better. Thanks for allowing me to vent I have had 4 knee revisions with multiple bouts of MRSA and finally finished that but my kidneys paid the price of vancomycin I worry about having brittle bones and long stems in both knees .Thanks Hudson Carlton
