My kidney disease was caused by a reaction to a bad contrast dye during a myelogram for a back surgery and was an overnight event. Unfortunately, the Medical facility didn’t tell me what happened due to fear of a lawsuit so I was totally unaware of what had happened until I had a stroke due to high blood pressure (a bleed) a few years later. Still, years later, most Doctors out and out call me a liar when I try to tell them what happened and try to convince me that my hypertension is a life style disease. I am slim, do not drink or smoke and live an athletic life style and before this event, my BP was always120/60. I now run about 170/80 regardless of the medication I take. I live in constant fear of kidney failure and so I want to tell people to be your own doctor and question anything a physician will tell. In America, fear of lawsuit is a far more powerful influencer on what doctors tell you than any concern for the patient.
@@alphaomega1351 Good people acknowledge their mistakes and take responsibility. However, I believe in fate and it was simply my fate to have this happen in my life. I am still alive and have faced the challenge head on and hold animosity towards no one.
I had some dye placed during a basket retrieval of a kidney stone and he said he looked around while I was in surgery, well I have never been the same literally.... My left kidney has gone to shit, I have daily pain and still pass alot if stones but at one point begged for them to take that kidney out. I got a firm no we can't it still functions!!!

This video is so educational! The connection between kidney functions and their signs and symptoms is explained so clearly. Thank you for making such complex information easy to understand-this is incredibly helpful for anyone wanting to learn more about kidney health!
Hey warrior, in September of 2017 I was diagnosed with end stage renal failure. Had 5% function. Put on peritoneal dialysis. Followed daily treatment, made major diet changes. Monthly labs and doctors visits, in October 2021 doctor walks in with my latest results. Her words "What is going on with your kidneys?" Me "gee doc I don't know, that's why I come see you." Doc "we are seeing signs of improvement, would you be willing to stop dialysis for a month and we'll see how things are going?" Me "yell fuck yes" Fast forward to November, confirmed restored function. Taken off dialysis. Best part. 3 days later transplant calls, "we may have a match" Keep your chin up my fellow warrior. It's gonna be a long road, the 3rd and 4th month are the worst emotionally. Don't give up, share your story, you got this!!
@@anilrnc Got rid of processed foods, crabs and just about every fruit and veggie. Went to the basics. Elk, bison, beef, salmon. Ever see a fat lion? A fat tiger? A diabetic cheetah? Exactly
Thank you so much for sharing this ... I am almost five years transplanted and spent about three years on dialysis after crash landing with kidney failure in 2016 ... Been a really tough experience ... Had too take voluntary redundancy from work as an graphic designer illustrator just over a year and a half on dialysis as was not up to being a beneficial part of the team ...was given the choice of leave work and be put on transplant list or struggle on .. I eventually left the job I loved.. had a transplant and before I go on I have too say having a transplant is not a cure and I have faced problems since being given my gift ...I had a stroke in 2021 due to the anti rejection tablets I was taking (not everyone is the same) and still take them every day as usual as I need to stay out of dialysis and keep kidney health ... This experience left me having to learn too walk again and still need help walking too this day ...I have some damage to my brain but hankfully sounds worse than it is ..I do struggle with numbers especially and keeping concentration and remembering things .... I've not been able to write or draw since my stroke .. but still can create illustrations on my Mac thankfully using a mouse... As I said this will not happen to everyone post transplant and I still try and convince people to have transplants and don't nt regret having one but when I have a bad day and post about it or moan ...it comes across as if I am ungrateful and insensitive to the family of the teenager that lost their life to give me a second chance ..which is absolutely ridiculous...and not true ...I am still working on my ability to draw by hand and write but really frustrating ..sorry for going on ..but would love to do what you are doing without feeling guilty at mentioning the experiences I have had .... The mental strain and consequences of this disease is sometimes worse than the physical but thanks again for sharing your story .... X
I struggle with mental illness as well, and as hard as kidney failure has been, the mental side is much more difficult. I know that I am living on borrowed time and I feel pressure that I have to make the most of it. If I focus on that idea I feel like I am failing every day. I haven't quite figured it out, but I have people around me helping me to live in the now. Thank you for sharing such a personal comment. It helped me.
Post transplant meds are really tough on the body. Not sure I want to go that route. I'm a very healthy individual in spite of my pkd. I feel I could live well and long on dialysis. I survived stage 3 cancer and don't want any more drugs in my body. I really like your positive attitude, however.
@@trustinginhim3189 you would be surprised what your body goes thru on dialysis ... it can be horrific ...I am glad you are healthy and overcame cancer but don't belittle the struggle patients have on dialysis ... why do you think there is such a long waiting list ..it's not a cure but gets you off dialysis ... my meds complied with other long term illnesses is what caused my stroke post transplant ... everyone's body is different and has a different make up ... some can lead a great life post transplant but some like me struggle .. if I was to blame the medication I would have stopped taking it and stop recommended transplants but I still take them at a different level ... I pray to God I never have to go back to dialysis ... so sticking with this ... as I say well done on conquering cancer but kidney failure and cancer are totally different diseases and should never be compared as both deadly ... cancer is no worse or better than kidney disease they are both horrendous and to say one is worse than the other can upset people ...I wish you well x
My modified GFR was bing bonging around sometimes being too low or normal. Once I researched that if your GFR is out of range you are stage 3 CKD I started pushing for more diagnostic work up and started seeing a nephrologist to manage my care. I always thought if your BP wasn’t severely high then you are okay. In my case even 130/90s is too much.
I’ve had long history of recurring kidney problems and infections! Finally my right one was so impaired that my specialist decided they could no longer keep dealing with it through meds…so I underwent surgery to remove the kidney!! It was pretty rough, but after time I recovered although I continue to have some weakness. The end of the infections and deep pain has been a relief! My left kidney is not at top function, but not changing much either!!🙏😘🙏😘
Thank you for sharing your story & giving me an insight of what i may encounter soon, I too am going through this although it's my right kidney that I've been told is now non-functioning after having an unsuccessful stent procedure at the beginning of the year which I might add was told was pointless to begin with! Anyway, I'm now inthe process of having scans, ultrasounds, DMSA scan etc & I hope to have this kidney removed ASAP as I just cannot deal with the lower back pain & other issues 24/7! I do wish you the best in your recovery🙏❤
Thank you very much for this video. I am stage 3, and I just learned more from you than i have from years of appointments with the doctors. I looked at previous lab results as I was watching your video and now understand, much better, what I am looking at. Thanks. again.
I also have stage 3 kidney disease! I lost one kidney in 2022. I must admit I'm a little scared! I'm 68, I guess I shouldn't be, but... I have a stint in the other! They give you any education about it. I look it up on Google. Can't have salt, that's OK! I love spicy food, could that have contributed to my condition???? I'm subscribing!
Thank you. This give a realistic view of what’s ahead for us. I PRAISE YAH because this is an amazing time to be alive. Hope springs eternal and we’re very blessed.
My husband had kidney failure but none of these symptoms had happened to him. He did have a kidney transplant but, a severe headache that starts in the back of your neck and to the middle of your skull was the indicator. He was taking 4 excedrin a day to ease the headache, which made it worse on his kidneys. He did not know he had kidney failure until I spent him to the doctor for a physical. When he got to the doctors office his blood pressure was 200/100. Yeah! The doctor told him he could have had a stroke or heart attack on the way to the office. It was this HBP giving him headaches. I dated him for 2yrs and married 2yrs later so that means he had headaches for 4yrs that I knew of. Anyway,he did 10k runs,triathlons,biathlons,lift weights and had 4 different bikes to do different kinds of riding. He ate healthy everyday. Didn't like sweets, had a few beers on Friday and that was it. He was then sent to a Nephrologist for all tests. He was told what to do by the doctor and he followed it rigidly. After 3yrs his creatine level started to go up so he was placed on a transplant list which was a 10yr waiting list. He was very lucky his sister gave him a kidney. Yes,what she has said is true but a headache that lasts for a long period of time is a big indicator because the HPB causes severe headaches and kidney damage. He would have been on dialysis if I hadn't sent this stubborn man to a doctor. All is well and no dialysis.
"Anyway,he did 10k runs,triathlons,biathlons,lift weights and had 4 different bikes to do different kinds of riding". This is the main cause for your husband's kidney problems, he overtrained and broke down too much muscle tissue.
I think that's where I'm at. I've lost alot of weight, tingling in fingers and High blood pressure. When you said swelling in feet that just started with me. I've had prostate Cancer. Everything you gave just described I'm going through.
I`ve had high blood pressure spikes and have been seriously watching for any signs of taxing my kidneys. my last blood draw and urinalysis showed kidneys and liver functioning normal. I do get slight puffiness around eyes maybe once a week or less and slivers of other signs,but I take beet juice and kyolic garlic when i`m concerned and it drops BP quick and many points. I took a walmart BP check before going to my clinic and it was 180/88 , 3 hours later at clinic it showed 122/70 after beet juice and garlic and relaxing.
I can't keep my blood pressure jumping up and down like that. I don't take garlic, i take hawthorne berries, my pressure is alway good. I don't play jumping up and down pressure.
You put a teaspoon of hawthorne berries in 12 ounces of spring water let them boil together, after it boil cut the heat off, let simmer with a cover for 15 minutes, strain and drink.
Thanks for your videos ...i lose one kidney to a tumor ..now things are going awry ..t feel very exausted .for doing very little ..ill keep watching some advice will be welcomed !
Thank you for your testimony. There is an interessant publication from dr. Unwin (GP, famous in the U.K.) about improving renal function with keto in diabetes patients, based on the analysis of years of recurrent tests of those patients in his practice. Perhaps worth of reading. Keto has the same amount of protein as a ‘normal’ diet, only the calories of (most of) the carbs have been replaced with (animal) fats.
My creatinine 1.5 but all my other test are normal. Doctor is telling me that Im stage 3 now. I did lose function after a electric shock wave treatment for kidney stones last fall. I don't drink or do drugs, but I do eat out every day and have a very stressful job.
@@kidneykeeping I have no data other than that which came across my feed. The channel is "European Wellness" .. the story is "Dr Michael". It seems lots to be said about umbilical cord stem cells - which I assume they are using ... also, illegal in the USA but used extensively in Europe and Asia ... good luck.
After covid, i have most of kidney disease symptoms but my primary doctor keep saying im ok. He did lots of blood tests and came out good. He also said my lungs & heart are good but i have to see specialists doctors for those because covid effects me
Same. But mine didn't even do blood tests. Ignores that there's proteine in my urine still. I have bad edema and am super tired. But all my GP said: drop the carbs, they are slowing down your metabolism. I'm so frustrated
I’ve been sick for months, doctors referrals never make it to where they should leaving me so sick as a single mom, which is forcing me to go to a hospital- sadly primary’s are not cutting it -
The only way to fix an experiment is to fix it with another experiment. Try everything that is safe to try, to get rid of the virus/vaccine/spike protein before you go to the same people that get you sick. They will milk you dry financially and spiritually before they find you a cure, if your lucky.

I am quite puzzled by this video because of the opening statement. In her opening statement, she said "prepare for kidney failure." I think a better opening statement should be how to prevent kidney failure. If people are struggling with kidney failure, my research as a TH-camr, would focus on solutions as well, not just the problems associated with the issue. She didn't really go into details of what caused kidney failure, instead she focused on what can happen to a person with kidney failure. I am not sure what credentials this lady has to address such a complex medical issue, but her analysis gave the impression that she is not well-versed on the topic of which she is talking.
Eat healthy do herbs and our only source is to pray and beg our creator to give us along life and rid our organs of any calamities do that and pray pray and beg and cry all healed
This video makes me want to prevent kidney failure as early as possible. Very educational.
Your not by yourself
I hear ya does this sound bad ??? And sick at my stomach every day, but the Dr's say I'm ok...confused???
Yes...always keep track of your kidney and liver health. I do home dialysis for my Mom and you want to avoid it if possible. 🙏🏻💗

Thank you very much! Thank you for helping people!
This video is so informative.
Hi good morning What about the liver in this situation
Thank you for your brave wisdom.
Informative video. Thanks.
Very well done video!.
Thank you very much!
Thank you bigtime 😊
What is your age. and what was it when you were first diagnosed?
My creatinine 1.5 but all my other test are normal. Doctor is telling me that Im stage 3 now. I did lose function after a electric shock wave treatment for kidney stones last fall. I don't drink or do drugs, but I do eat out every day and have a very stressful job.
Cook your own meals and find a less stressful job or try to get SS disability and start some type of business or side hustle, your health comes first.
Once you start dialysis, does the swelling in your legs/ankles improve? I have one swollen ankle....strange.
Yes. Dialysis removes excess fluid from your body. Doing peritoneal dialysis at night. I would drop about a liter during treatment.
I would love to know what websites you look at for nutritional benefits.
Davita has a ton of kidney friendly recipes.
God bless u n hope u recover
I tried the carnivore diet and it lowered my EGR from 67 to 34. carnivore is not for everyone
Thank you.
New subscriber! Hello from Canada. I've been on PD since august 2022.
Welcome! Thanks for subscribing.
I think you’re wonderful person
Did you look at stem cell therapy (in Europe) starting to hear some amazing kidney recovery stories.
I'll have to look into that. I find that stuff fascinating!
@@kidneykeeping I have no data other than that which came across my feed. The channel is "European Wellness" .. the story is "Dr Michael". It seems lots to be said about umbilical cord stem cells - which I assume they are using ... also, illegal in the USA but used extensively in Europe and Asia ... good luck.

After covid, i have most of kidney disease symptoms but my primary doctor keep saying im ok. He did lots of blood tests and came out good. He also said my lungs & heart are good but i have to see specialists doctors for those because covid effects me
Same. But mine didn't even do blood tests. Ignores that there's proteine in my urine still. I have bad edema and am super tired. But all my GP said: drop the carbs, they are slowing down your metabolism. I'm so frustrated
I’ve been sick for months, doctors referrals never make it to where they should leaving me so sick as a single mom, which is forcing me to go to a hospital- sadly primary’s are not cutting it -
The only way to fix an experiment is to fix it with another experiment. Try everything that is safe to try, to get rid of the virus/vaccine/spike protein before you go to the same people that get you sick. They will milk you dry financially and spiritually before they find you a cure, if your lucky.
@@darkmoore05Get another primary physician and a Nephrologist

This is what gets me about you sweet lady, who does that for strangers in these days, in these times. Thank you for this video! ❤🎉😍 I’m celebrating you! Raise that tea cup. Salute! 🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You and Dr. Berg, confirmed my suspicions and validated my concerns. You gave me the very important facts,I needed. I have seen 2 neurologists, one of them a neuropsychiatrist, who has chalked this up to lack of sleep, normal every day stress and the aging process. I have taken their test and observational diagnostics.
This disease is very devastating 😔and despite trying to take responsibility for your health, this happened to you! And yes ,this really can happen to anybody. Please receive grace and mercy at difficult times, hold space for grieving. Light a candle and have some tea and spend time being compassionate and nurturing to yourself. Breathing exercises are healing for your body on every cellular level. You can finish, with a sweeping series of your favorite breath exercises.
I am headed to my wonderful doctor, she’s a great listener with “no ego” in it) on the 5th of June. I went to two neuropsychiatrist, who said you are awesome at problem solving skills but you’re a little bit slow. and that’s normal feeling slower because it’s part of getting older thosfeeling your age.
Dr Michael Gregory should watch his videos on kidney disease ! Plant based is the way to go !
Research any prescription or over the counter drug if it hurts your kidneys or liver don't take it.99% chance there is an alternative what out those side effects that will work just as well Good luck and god bless youPeriodic table
Hi I'm 62 years old and for the last couple of years I've been having to drink alot of water to digest properly...It seems maybe my kidneys are not so well...If I do t take the water my urine smells and when I do drink my water it's better but I noticed when I sweat and urinate, I noticed I can smell the foods I eat...especially Mexican food or spicy...This happens everyday...???
That can happen to people without kidney disease
Iam ckd stage 3 with creatinine 2.5 and BUN 30 its no symptoms..and now I am in plant based diet void anything animal protein. Hope my ckd not progressing far to dialysis
From my own experience .. good call .. my eGFR went from 62 (average) to 90 when I went plant based. Pls post your numbers after a few months ..
You still have to be careful of proteins
When you was in kidney failure
How much protein was in your urine at that time
Sounds just about what I have

Hello!! Thanks for subscribing. Hope all is well with you!
I have kidneys retention close to kidneys failure I on the page as yourself
Ur a caring sweetheart
I am quite puzzled by this video because of the opening statement. In her opening statement, she said "prepare for kidney failure." I think a better opening statement should be how to prevent kidney failure. If people are struggling with kidney failure, my research as a TH-camr, would focus on solutions as well, not just the problems associated with the issue. She didn't really go into details of what caused kidney failure, instead she focused on what can happen to a person with kidney failure. I am not sure what credentials this lady has to address such a complex medical issue, but her analysis gave the impression that she is not well-versed on the topic of which she is talking.
Just let her tell her personal story, there are many other videos on you tube about kidney disease and be very careful about taking non medical advice
u may try vegan diet and adding 168 fasting. it might help.
One thing I am go to tell you okay very body have die ok
I actually hope I die before failure.
I don’t believe you got your personal health claim. You do not look at all w/ kidney disease.
Eat healthy do herbs and our only source is to pray and beg our creator to give us along life and rid our organs of any calamities do that and pray pray and beg and cry all healed
Prayer is good but it’s not going to keep you alive or prevent declining kidney function.
