Have Kidney Disease And High BP. Done AV Fistula Surgery For Hemodialysis. Want Opinion On Better Dialysis Option
I m a 54 year old male with stage 5 kidney disease and high blood pressure Just had AV fistula surgery last week for hemodialysis . Will I be able to keep my night shift job? How hard is it to get a kidney and what is the waiting period.I m in NC. In your opinion which dialysis do you think is the better option at home or in a clinic?I m having gout a lot and swelling in my right ankle. What is my life span on dialysis and with a kidney transplant? I am scared and been vomiting a little now and then urine output is good, just tired all the time? Dr. said it would take 3 months for the fistula to mature. What symptoms do I need to look for if I need dialysis sooner? What questions do I need to ask my nephrologist my next visit is Oct.17th? When sick how will I know when to go to the emergency room? What is recovery time for a kidney transplant ? What health requirements does a donor need to meet from the health aspect?
