@fiesty76 for the first time, my nephrologist said a six month recheck, two weeks ago. Since 2015, it has always been every 3 months, with my current dr being the fourth one in those 5 + yrs. [one left practice, one I substituted since he sent a PA to see me instead of himself, one I left behind when i moved] I get labs done 2 weeks ahead, since it takes a week before the lab will release results to me, and I can have a copy when I see the dr.
@tracilynn0418 Confidence in your medical team is critical to your well-being, physical and emotional! You have found that out. I will be curious to hear what they say about transplant prior to dialysis. Have you started looking for a donor?

Unfortunately I didn't get to mention the transplant prior to dialysis. I was in shock that my creatinine was finally in normal since I began my journey with only one kidney working, while trying to dodge kidney stones. I had a bump in the road and we had to add a medication to my regular potassium citrate because this time my calcium levels were quite high it's also an adjustment I feel like every appointment he gives me something to work on and I perfect that thing and get levels to normal then something else goes crazy on me but it's a work in progress, next appt is February so we will see how that is
