#Chronic kidney disease

Holy shit my kidney numbers improved by 8 whole points in three months they went from stage 3b failure to 3a failure, that’s fantastic! I’m incredibly happy. My tacro level is also where it should be. Wins all around!

hi everyone, i'm in need of some help. i hate asking others for anything, but this is different. as it concerns my babygirl of 13 years, apple. this cat has been with me thru everything. my parent's divorce, horrendous bullying throughout junior high, a couple breakups, a svicide attempt, loss, and much more. she is my rock and i wouldn't be here today without her. she got diagnosed with "kidney failure" by a vet on friday, and they swarmed my boyfriend in the clinic and urged us to put her down. that she wouldn't make it a week. i wanted some more time with her, so i took her home that day. when we got home, i started to panic because i was scared she was suffering, and got my boyfriend to contact his family vet to put her down that same day instead. to spare her from suffering. however, as we were in the patient room, about to sedate her to put her down, the doctor came in and looked at the bloodwork we received from the other vet. he immediately stopped the euthanasia-procedure and explained to me that she was not in kidney failure. that she was about in stage 2 of chronic kidney disease, and that she did not need to be put down. apparently some vets refuse to help cats with CKD and insist that there is no hope and that they should be put down upon diagnosis. but he didn't want to do that. so now here we are, she's back home with me and being just-about her usual self. however, CKD is common in senior cats and apple has it. it cannot be cured, and it is terminal, but cats with CKD can live happy, normal lives if they are given treatment and special care. (i've done lots of reading since thursday-friday.) of course though, vet bills and special food for apple is going to be expensive. so i would like to ask, if you can afford to commission me, or if you would like to donate at all, please check out my ko-fi. it would mean the absolute world to me, my boyfriend, my family, and apple. thank you so very much for reading ♥. please don't feel obligated to do anything, just keep her in your thoughts for me.

Fun fact about me: almost all of the food I post are foods I can’t eat bc of my chronic kidney disease. It’s honestly really depressing, to say the least…

Scientists Develop Novel Machine Learning Models to Predict Comorbidities at an Early Stage of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), a recognized risk factor for heart failure (HF) and cardiovascular illnesses such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), was diagnosed in an estimated 537 million people worldwide.

In order to manage CKD and HF in individuals with early stages of T2DM, a complete treatment strategy is preferred. Early and better detection of these disorders can improve results. But recent research indicates that T2DM patients’ CKD and HF are not properly recognized, which results in increased rates of disease progression and a worse prognosis.

Researchers at AstraZeneca and Ono Pharmaceuticals created a model that could predict the likelihood that individuals with T2DM who had no prior history of CKD would develop CKD/HF. This study is a major step toward early and better diagnosis of CKD and HF in patients with T2DM.

This handsome man gained 1 lb and 2 oz since his last vet appointment, and his wonderful vet, Dr. Adi, said that he was her favorite cat. My best baby Bowie.

today’s my nephrology appt where i get to find out if my liver is also having problems or if the cold meds I took the week of the blood draws fucked up the results! My kidneys think their job is optional and I’m really hoping they didn’t get evangelical with my liver

Also if I’m still so vitamin D deficient I legally qualify as a vampire!

May come out of the appt with fun new dietary restrictions but I’m less worried about that as I am about my liver tbh

So. A lot had happened since I last posted...

In April of 2022 I tested positive for HIV. Not long after that I was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney failure. Over the course of 6mo, those kidney issues escalated to 0% functionality and in December I was sent to the ER for emergency dialysis. I’ve been on dialysis for 6 months, home dialysis for about 2 weeks now.

I’ll be moving home to Texas to be near family in the next few weeks. My boyfriend and I decided that this was the best way to go, as I need the support and he’s unable to move due to his job. Still amicable, still 100% civil, we just realized it’s time.

Pics are from the last year or so

In other non MK related news my mental health is really in the shitter today. I know most people who see this won’t care but I use tumblr as an outlet for my emotions. I’m really reeling from my hepatology appointment yesterday, I’ve known my kidneys were bad for a while because tacrolimus is a horrible, wicked, two-sided drug, on the one hand it keeps my body from destroying my heart but on the other hand it ruins my kidneys but I had no clue anything was wrong with my liver. The doctor said living with my childhood condition of left ventricular failure for 14 years caused irreversible liver damage. I just, I don’t know what to do. I just want to cry but for some reason I can’t. I’ve always known I was living on borrowed time ever since my heart transplant but now with having so many issues with so many vital organs it seems like my time is running out sooner than I expected. I guess 25 years was a good run but it seems so fucking ironic and unfair that I finally don’t want to die and I will. I get the feeling my celebration trip I planned for later this year will probably be my final vacation, so I guess I better try and enjoy it as much as I can. I’m not necessarily sad for myself but Denny won’t understand why I’m gone and that really breaks my heart. He’s such a good boy and I love him so much I don’t want to do anything that will make him sad. At least I’ll get to be reunited with Jäger if anything in life is even remotely fair.

A fun little tiktok I threw together if my dialysis set up. Sadly my chair is out of commission and in need of repair, but the set up is still pretty similar
