Chronic kidney disease & mental health

Chronic kidney disease & mental health

hello everyone

i have found some information on the sane forum for Kidney disease and mental health

i thought i was feeling ok with being diagnosed with kidney dease stage 4 with only one kidney

which means my only one kidney is working at 21%

now my specialist is wanting me to register to go on the kidney transplant

I am feeling so tired and sometimes it is hard to keep on keeping on

i am feeling soo many emotions at the moment

i have forms to get started to go on the list for a transplant

i also have diabetes which makes it hard and sometimes feeling overwhelmed

my mr shaz wants to be a living donor , he will have to go through the same tests as me

Re: Chronic kidney disease & mental health

Hi @Shaz51 , that's good there's no infection, but not good about the proteinurea. Is the protein high cos you only have one kidney?

@NatureLover the protein high is because the filters in my kidney are damaged and all the toxins are leaking in to my body

"the protein high is because the filters in my kidney are damaged and all the toxins are leaking in to my body"

Am sorry to hear this @Shaz51 . Do the toxins make you feel rotten all the time? Does drinking lots of water help?
