I have been back on dialysis now for a year after 7 years with a transplant.  It had failed due to Chronic Allograph Nepropathy (the medical term for chronic rejection).  Running at a DaVita Clinic...it's OK....I guess.   ::)

Before my transplant, I had been on dialysis for 4 and a half years.  I'm currently on one transplant list again and about one or two tests away from being listed on another one.

Constantly struggling with phosphorous levels, as I imagine alot of people on this board are. 

More about me later....gotta run.

Welcome Triple B - Yes, I struggle with Phosphorus all the time.  I just like the wrong foods (Dairy).  Just had a small glass of ice cold milk MMMMM  ;D

I hope you enjoy our site.  A lot of work has gone into it to make it user friendly and interesting.  You can thank Epoman for that.

Please read out site rules under the Introduction section.  There is a lot of information to absorb here, so take your time.

Welcome to our community.  This is definitely a place for someone like you who have experienced so much where renal failure is concerned.  Be sure to post often and let us hear from you.
