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

Hi @Shaz51 just saw your post on the welcome thread about needing dietician. Hope diet and drinking more water helps. Does salt content make much difference? Trouble is most processed food has salt added.

Hello my awesome friends @Dimity , @Jynx , @hanami

Yes I have to cut back on sugar , salt , potassium, protein , phosphorus

My cholesterol, diabetes, parathyroid levels are all high but kidney is stable at 19 %

Re: Chronic kidney disease & mental health

Sounds difficult and very challenging @Shaz51 . Definitely one for the dietician.

I'm supposed to watch salt and I'm also prediabetic, and have slipped a bit the last little while. I mostly cook food from fresh or frozen as processed foods are usually so high in salt and sugar. I quite often have pulses and nuts. Actually dried pulses and dried beans etc are good for the budget too.

I'm glad your kidney function is stable but 19% isn't brilliant. So long as it postpones dialysis.
