Sometimes kidney disease takes a long time to get to stage 5  and therefore many of us are in our 50's before dialysis starts.  But on the good side there are a lot of people here to talk to and many years of experience.  So thanks for joining , look around and stay in touch.

Hello!  :welcomesign;

I am 28, I was on dialysis at age 20 for 7 month's and received a live donor (my mom) transplant. I then went back on dialysis at age 25 and received a cadaver transplant (perfect match) this January (2007).

Geez! we have a lot of young people on dialysis here! Surprising since all I see are old people in center.  Welcome to the site.  Join right on in any discussion that interests you.

 :waving; Hi Matt,
My daughter is 21 and was on hemo for 3 years, just got a transplant 7 months ago. She too is more focused on other forums - she loves Mystery Science Theater and Gaia and she likes writing stories.
Welcome! As we all know, dialysis isn't fun, but it sure is great to have a community who understands!

Hi Matt,

I'm Matt and was diagnosed last year at the age of 34 so I am kind of in between the young guns and the old timers!

Welcome to the site and feel free to ask about anything that bothers you.

Matty.

It took me from age 48 (kidney disease diagnosis) to age 54 to actually get on dialysis. Most of the people I see in the hospital are much older. But I heard there is an eight year old who gets dialysis. People of all ages I guess.
