Prehospital glucagon
I'm a paramedic and I've had difficulty on finding an answer to a question I have about prehospital use of glucagon in renal failure patients. I've had two renal failure patients whom were also diabetic. Both of these patients had bgl that registered as LOW on our glucometer. Both patients I was unable to obtain IV access so I used 1 mg glucagon IM. In both cases I did not get a discernable rise in bgl as both pt remained LOW on subsequent rechecks. Why is this?

Is Dialysis always needed when levels are below 6%
My sister has had kidney failure for many years. For the past 10 years it was mostly around 18% functionality. Over the past year it has gone down to 5-6%. With that said, she feels perfectly fine. She has no water retention, no heart noise (I forgot the name of the noise they look for), has driven to from the Northwoods several times without issue, is not nauseous, no muscle cramps, vomiting or any of the other symptoms of kidney failure. Again - she feels fine. They've been letting her be because....

High potassium
Hello. I am a 28 year old female. I went to an urgent care a few days ago for all over itching that had been lasting for about 4 weeks.

Could this be a sign of kidney problems. Everything else was normal on the blood test. TIA

Do I need dialysis?
I was suddenly dignosed with CKD since January 2018 - everything was alright in December 2017. From January to August 2018, my creatinine steadily dropped with the help of a controlled diet and was 2.9 when I started accumulating fluid in my chest cavity. I was advised to go for a CABG which I did after which I needed dialysis as my urine output was NIL. After about 12 sessions of dialysis, my output reached a reasonable level and the creatinine started correcting. I was off dialysis for about 2....

KIDNEY BIOPSY HELP PLEASE
So I'm a 22 yr old female. I'm scheduled to have an kidney biopsy Wednesday the 13th and they told me I am supposed to watch the bleeding in my urine afterwards and that it should go away within a day but I think my period will come on either Tuesday night or that morning, how do I know if the bleeding is from my kidneys or my period? Can I still have the biopsy done if it comes on beforehand?

Cause for my illness
I am a retired firefighter. Shortly after I retired I developed kidney disease. I am on dialysis now. I have not been given a reason for my disease. I was wondering if it could be related to my occupation.

That kidney failed in 1999 when my secord sister donated her kidney that I currently have today. 18 years later I am now loosing this kidney. I am preparing....
