My Introduction

Hi, my name on this site is LoudyBear. I do home hemo with a NxStage machine, 5 days a week. I've been on various forms of dialysis over the last 12 years. I had a kidney transplant from a live donor but I found out after the surgery that the donor had Hep C. Now blood tests have shown that I have it. I've tried Interfuron and found it to be intolerable. I was on the list for another kidney but I feel it would be useless to just lose it again to Hep C, so I've been on standby for a while now. I tolerate the dialysis pretty well and right now blood tests are coming back with good numbers. I really do hate dialysis but it keeps me alive.

Welcome!
Are you still on the list? You said you "were", so does that mean you took yourself off?
Are you certain to lose a new kidney to hep C if they already know you have it? What does your medical team say?

G'day Loudy, tough break on the liver donor transplant, very tough break. I'm a bit surprised that didn't come up before they did the transplant. You're right about dialysis, it's not that bad and it does keep us alive. Welcome to the site.
