    Episode 158: Stage 5 Kidney Failure Without Warning: Carla’s Dialysis to Transplant Journey

    Carla shares how she was diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure without warning, leading to dialysis and ultimately a kidney transplant. This episode explores missed signs, sudden diagnosis, and the reality of living through kidney failure.   In this episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, Dee Moore speaks with Carla — a kidney warrior and former mental health nurse — about her experience of being diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure without warning.   After earlier test results showed declining kidney function, Carla did not receive follow-up — and later found herself sitting in front of a consultant being told her kidneys were functioning at just 12%. What followed was a sudden transition into dialysis, a challenging and emotional journey through treatment, and ultimately, a kidney transplant.   Carla shares her story with honesty and insight — from the shock of diagnosis, to navigating dialysis access and setbacks, to the mental and emotional toll of living with kidney failure.   This episode is a powerful reminder of how kidney disease can progress silently, and the importance of listening to your body, asking questions, and advocating for your health.   🔹 Key Topics Covered   Stage 5 kidney failure diagnosis Kidney disease progression and missed signs Dialysis treatment and access challenges Emotional impact of kidney failure Kidney transplant journey Patient experience and advocacy   If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may benefit from hearing Carla’s story.   Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast so you never miss an episode — and join the Diary of a Kidney Warrior family for updates, support, and community.   Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior:   📸Instagram: www.instagram.com/diaryofakidneywarrior  📘Facebook: www.facebook.com/diaryofakidneywarrior  🐦Twitter (X): www.twitter.com/diaryofakidneyw  🎵Tik Tok: @diaryofakidneywarrior  📺Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChGUfib7lu9eKENlLJ6lafw 🔵 BlueSky: @diaryofakidneyw.bsky.social   💌 Join the Diary of a Kidney Warrior Family Mailing List Get updates on new episodes, vlogs, newsletters, and more! 👉🏽👉 Sign up here: https://diaryofakidneywarrior.getform.com/rjv47   📲 Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior on WhatsApp Stay updated with new episodes and exclusive content! 👉🏽👉 Join here: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaO3ms71iUxipp1eeh2r   Kidney Care UK   💻 Website: www.kidneycareuk.org 📧 info@kidneycareuk.org 📞Tel: 01420 541 424 📘Facebook: www.facebook.com/kidneycareuk.org 📷Instagram: @kidneycareuk 🔵Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/kidneycareuk.bsky.social 📺YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeqQTdAsEzXphqjHVtcTD-A   📩 To sign up to receive the Kidney Matters Quarterly Magazine Email: info@kidneycareuk.org       Disclaimer: The information shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

    Episode 155: GLP-1, Weight Loss & Kidney Transplant Eligibility | Beyond The Scale (Part 2)

    GLP-1 medications are being talked about everywhere right now — but what do they mean for people living with chronic kidney disease and dialysis?   In Part 2 of this two-part series, we focus on GLP-1 receptor agonists, how these medications work, and what kidney patients need to understand when considering weight loss treatments in the context of kidney transplant eligibility.   For many people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), weight can influence access to transplant surgery. But navigating weight loss while on dialysis is complex, and treatments like GLP-1 medications should always be considered with specialist guidance.   In this episode of the Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, host Dee Moore is joined by Dr Adrian Brown, Associate Professor in Nutrition and Dietetics, NIHR Advanced Fellow, and Senior Specialist Weight-Management and Bariatric Dietitian.   Together they explore:   • What GLP-1 receptor agonists are and how they work • Why these medications must never be used without medical supervision • The risks of buying weight-loss treatments online • How GLP-1 medications may be considered for some kidney patients • Why conversations about weight and transplant eligibility are often more complex than people realise   This episode highlights the importance of evidence-based information, patient safety, and open conversations between patients and their renal teams.   ⚠️ This episode is for educational purposes only and does not replace personalised medical advice. Always speak with your healthcare team about your individual circumstances.   🎧 Listen now and continue the conversation.   If you found this episode helpful, please consider sharing it with someone navigating chronic kidney disease, dialysis, or kidney transplant pathways.   Part 1 of this series explores BMI, dialysis, and kidney transplant eligibility in more detail.   Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior:   📸Instagram: www.instagram.com/diaryofakidneywarrior  📘Facebook: www.facebook.com/diaryofakidneywarrior  🐦Twitter (X): www.twitter.com/diaryofakidneyw  🎵Tik Tok: @diaryofakidneywarrior  📺Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChGUfib7lu9eKENlLJ6lafw 🔵 BlueSky: @diaryofakidneyw.bsky.social   💌 Join the Diary of a Kidney Warrior Family Mailing List Get updates on new episodes, vlogs, newsletters, and more! 👉🏽👉 Sign up here: https://diaryofakidneywarrior.getform.com/rjv47   📲 Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior on WhatsApp Stay updated with new episodes and exclusive content! 👉🏽👉 Join here: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaO3ms71iUxipp1eeh2r   Follow Dr Adrian Twitter (X) @brownadey; LinkedIn: Adrian Brown UCL Website: https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/6560-adrian-brown   Kidney Care UK   💻 Website: www.kidneycareuk.org 📧 info@kidneycareuk.org 📞Tel: 01420 541 424 📘Facebook: www.facebook.com/kidneycareuk.org 📷Instagram: @kidneycareuk 🔵Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/kidneycareuk.bsky.social 📺YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeqQTdAsEzXphqjHVtcTD-A   📩 To sign up to receive the Kidney Matters Quarterly Magazine Email: info@kidneycareuk.org       Disclaimer: The information shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

    Episode 154: BMI, Dialysis & Kidney Transplant Eligibility | Beyond The Scale (Part 1)

    Can your BMI affect whether you are eligible for a kidney transplant?   For many people living with chronic kidney disease and dialysis, weight is not simply about health advice — it can directly influence access to transplant surgery.   In Part 1 of this two-part series, Dee Moore explores the realities of weight, BMI thresholds, and transplant eligibility.   Joined by Dr Adrian Brown, Associate Professor in Nutrition and Dietetics, NIHR Advanced Fellow, and Senior Specialist Weight-Management and Bariatric Dietitian, this episode unpacks:   • How BMI is used in transplant decision-making • Why weight can influence surgical eligibility • The challenges dialysis patients face when trying to lose weight • The emotional impact of weight-related conversations • The importance of patient advocacy   For many kidney patients, these discussions can feel overwhelming and deeply personal. This episode aims to bring clarity, compassion and understanding to a complex topic.   📌 This is Part 1 of a two-part discussion. In Part 2, we explore GLP-1 medications, weight loss treatment options, and what kidney patients need to consider when navigating transplant eligibility.   🎧 Listen now and continue the conversation.   Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior:   📸Instagram: www.instagram.com/diaryofakidneywarrior  📘Facebook: www.facebook.com/diaryofakidneywarrior  🐦Twitter (X): www.twitter.com/diaryofakidneyw  🎵Tik Tok: @diaryofakidneywarrior  📺Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChGUfib7lu9eKENlLJ6lafw 🔵 BlueSky: @diaryofakidneyw.bsky.social   💌 Join the Diary of a Kidney Warrior Family Mailing List Get updates on new episodes, vlogs, newsletters, and more! 👉🏽👉 Sign up here: https://diaryofakidneywarrior.getform.com/rjv47   📲 Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior on WhatsApp Stay updated with new episodes and exclusive content! 👉🏽👉 Join here: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaO3ms71iUxipp1eeh2r   Follow Dr Adrian Twitter (X) @brownadey; LinkedIn: Adrian Brown UCL Website: https://profiles.ucl.ac.uk/6560-adrian-brown   Kidney Care UK   💻 Website: www.kidneycareuk.org 📧 info@kidneycareuk.org 📞Tel: 01420 541 424 📘Facebook: www.facebook.com/kidneycareuk.org 📷Instagram: @kidneycareuk 🔵Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/kidneycareuk.bsky.social 📺YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeqQTdAsEzXphqjHVtcTD-A   📩 To sign up to receive the Kidney Matters Quarterly Magazine Email: info@kidneycareuk.org       Disclaimer: The information shared in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
