When I was taken to the hospital Sept. 7, my kidney value was 8%, which is transplant or death. My blood pressure was 70/40, so they worked all night and the next morning to get it up. The doctor put a PERMANENT dialysis catheter in my chest I had 4 rounds of dialysis in 5 days (is usually 3 in 7 days). A biopsy was done. On my 11th day in hospital the doctor came in with a smile. My kidney number ws had been coming up and the biopsy showed my kidneys were regenerating. I left the hospital the next day with a number of 26% and no catheter!
Nine days later it was up to 33%. I had another blood work done 3 weeks ago and it was up to 45%. So it has been going up. Hope it continues. Only problem, since it was the metformin that caused the kidney failure I had to come off it and go onto Glipizide, and my Januvia was cut in half so my blood sugar is running higher than it did before.
