I am sorry to hear about your dad,it annoys me when people on yahoo answers tell people who have kidney failure to drink plenty,as this is the wost thing you can do, anyway your poor dad may find relief from swabbing his mouth with moistened swabs.chewing gum wont help as he wont be making much saliva at the moment.

My father-in-law died waiting for a kidney sooooo, I would suggest the social worker at the hospital. Pressure the doctors who are caring for him...the dialysis unit people...\nlook here:\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.org/kidney-transplant/livingdonor.html

you will have kidney problems

unfortunately no, just stay in touch with you doctors, ensure that you don't take medicines that are toxic to kidneys since kidneys excrete creatinine, good luck

yeah, too much protein in the blood is a major cause of kidney failure, but i think diabetics have kidney problems more due to poor circulation (i might be wrong on that though)

Dear Mike,\n\nThis does not sound like a pleasant situation you are in.\n\nI am not a doctor, but if this were happening to me, I would think there is something going on with my digestion.\n\nA gallon of water per day is a lot. It is possible to overwhelm your kidneys if you are not urinating enough.\n\nYou didn't say anything about your emotional state nor your life circumstances, so there may be some clues there.\n\nAsk friends and others to recommend a physician whom they trust.  I think you need to get with a professional who takes a wholistic approach to health, and get back to health.  You are too young to throw in the towel.\n\nHope this helps.

How bizarre - presumably this is your gp that has given you this rather poor information?\nWhat you need to do is have your blood taken and your creatinine level checked.  Your creatinine should be at around 100.  If it is higher than 150 then you will need a referral to see a nephrologist who can organise for a GFR test which will show the exact amount of kidney funciton you have.\nTo say that someone has the kidney of an 80 year old is a load of old rubbish. You need to know exactly what percentage of function you have. What has caused any decline in function and what you can expect.  \n\nIt might be helpful for you to know that many people can survive their whole lives very happily on just one kidney.  I spent most of my childhood and teenage years with only 30% kidney function and lived a pretty normal life. It's also worth knowing that often when a kidney is damaged then it's function will continue to decline slowly over the years.  Healthcare for kidney patients is much improved from the old days.  There is a choice of dialysis - haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis - but it might be that you'll never even need either of these treatments.\n\nIf your kidneys are failing then it's likely that you would feel noticeably tired and sleep more.  When there is very little function left then you would start to feel very sick.\n\nI'm not very impressed with what your doctor has said. He's given you a really inarticulate diagnosis and not provided you with any of the information you might need.\n\nCheck out these site for more information:-\n\nhttp://www.kidneypatientguide.org.uk/site/contents.php\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/crf1.shtml\nhttp://www.kidney.org.uk/index.html\n\nI hope you are ok.

here is a webcast from the National Kidney Foundation about depression: http://www.videonewswire.com/event.asp?id=29536\n\nI couldn't find a Kidney Transplant help group, but here are some links to online depression support, including message boards and chats\nhttp://depression.about.com/cs/chat/a/onlinesupport.htm

reduce fat fast pills.\n\ntake a lot of water before every meal eat light popcorns or instead you could try celery \n\nAccording to Hippocrates (the father of medicine), celery calms the nerve – perhaps because of the high calcium content. It’s good on kidney and will help eliminate body’s waste through the urine.\n\nSome teas help to reduce that difficult areas how about Lemon Grass (Lemongrass) / Cymbopogon citratus

I really feel for you and I wish you the best, that's a tough situation to be in. I really don't know if this helps but besides a social worker , are there any Renal organizations or support groups where you are?  Sometimes in networking in theses types of forums you'll get the answers you need.  I pray you find the answers you are looking for.  Stay Strong!

I'm in North Carolina, United States.  I am 38 years old.  In 2004, I got blisters on my feet from participating with my class in the annual field day.  The blisters got all infected and resulted in an amputation and a really nasty blood infection which zapped my kidneys.  I've been on dialysis ever since.\n\nI tried to teach while on dialysis, but I just didn't have the stamina to keep up with 19 first graders.  I love them dearly and I want them to have the best.  So, I've gone on medical leave and will resign at the end of the year.  It's so sad because I loved it and I was very, very successful.\n\nWhat am I doing now?  I'm going to school to become a Certified Internet Web Designer. I think I might design some educational sites for children.

See a nephrologist. Cranberries are very good for kidneys. Also all the B-vitamins.

Cranberries, dried or fresh, and cranberry juice will do wonders for kidney infections or kidney stones. Most importantly, you need to be sure to drink lots of water and juices. Stay away from caffeine, too!\n\nThe absolute best thing you can do, though, is call your doctor and get a professional recommendation based on your own medical history.

Hi-\nFrom what I hear, liver failure sounds like a tough thing to suffer. I had a kidney transplant and have spent some time on a transplant message board. Seemed like people who had to wait for a liver transplant were the worst off. I assume a transplant is not in the cards? I know hospice has a great reputation for aleviating suffering and helping the family, so it's probably good for you to get hooked up with them.\nHere is a web site that lists some symptoms and other info about hepatic encephalopathy:\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000302.htm\nAnother good resource might be a yahoo group on liver failure. You could try joining this one: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Liversupportgroup/\nThere are also hospice support groups on yahoo, too:\nhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/hospiceroom/
