Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast

Welcome to another episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior. This podcast episode is the first in a series that takes a deep dive into the world of pregnancy and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Our expert guest, Dr. Jan, examines the nuances of a kidney damage diagnosis of the unborn baby during pregnancy and the onset of uncertainties that this health revelation carries. In this comprehensive understanding of CKD, Dr Jan addresses the considerable challenges associated with diagnosing the disease. The episode further explores the emotional turmoil parents endure upon their child's CKD detection and the importance of a multidisciplinary support team surrounding the affected family. As they delve deeper, we grasp the implications of a baby with one or two compromised kidneys, the risks, and its effect on their life quality. The narrative examines how both kidneys damaged by CKD can escalate to later disease stages, potentially necessitating kidney replacement therapy - dialysis or transplantation. The discussion unfolds touching upon the areas of neonatal nephrology, the significant impact of CKD on a child's growth, development, and learning abilities, with emphasis on the importance of kidneys for overall body health. Furthermore, Dee and Dr Jan explore the opportunities and limitations of neonatal dialysis, illuminating the complexities of medical interventions in newborns, especially those at extremely low birth weights. In conclusion, Dr Jan echos the paramount importance of acknowledging these uncertainties and advocate for extensive patient support, peer groups, and committed charities. Final remarks introduce useful resources, such as InfoKid, to aid informed decision-making in healthcare, hence underscoring the need for ample education and a robust support system for CKD patients and caregivers.

In this riveting episode of the Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, host Dee Moore invites kidney warrior, Senet Kassaye, to share her transformative journey - from unexpected kidney failure and dialysis to eventual kidney transplantation. Senet's vivid recounts of battling diabetes at a tender age, experiencing a sudden stage 5 kidney failure, and the ensuing life-altering decision to undergo dialysis offer valuable insights into the mental rigour required during such transformative periods. Through a series of probing questions, Dee dives deep into Senet's narrative, elucidating the complexities of her decision-making process, particularly her choice against the fistula. Transitioning to a hopeful note, the conversation culminates with Senet narrating her joyous experience of kidney transplantation, providing a unique perspective and valuable advice for patients facing sudden kidney ailments and possible lifestyle adjustments. Senet's story is one of survival and resilience. She details her anticipatory anxiety during the drive to the transplant hospital, the rejection of her pancreas transplant and the relief accompanying the acceptance of her new kidney. Discussing the immense physical pain resulting from organ rejection, she grimly recalls opting for a second surgery to remove her pancreas. That said, the successful compatibility of her new kidney re-echoes the monumental significance of a successful transplant, made more meaningful as it saved her from an exhaustive dialysis routine. In a segment focused on patients' post-transplant needs, Senet shares some practical advice on maintaining the health of the new organ, staying adherent to the medication routine, and keeping a positive mindset. Particularly touching is Senet's appreciation for organ donors and their families, emphasising England's opt-out organ donation system, and encouraging those considering to opt-out to prioritise lives over fears. This revealing episode concludes on a hopeful note, powerfully resonating the undying spirit of positivity and looking forward to better times despite significant health challenges. Thus, it delivers an inspiring journey of a brave Kidney Warrior, offering light to others embarking on a similar path - proving that there is hope and life after a kidney transplant.

In this episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior podcast, we feature the courageous experiences of young peritoneal dialysis patient, Emma Kearns. Emma shares her journey from her early kidney disease diagnosis through her life threatening battle with sepsis, kidney failure and ableist workspaces. The powerful story is not just about the trials and troubles, but also a narrative of resilience, courage, and determination. Centring on Emma's life post-kidney failure, we delve into her return to Northern Ireland for a transplant. A detour that included leaving behind her life in Liverpool and fearing the catheter surgery while adapting to dialysis. The emotional roller coaster of chronic kidney disease (CKD), the misconceptions surrounding dialysis, the mental toll of being tied to a machine, and balancing a semblance of normalcy become crucial topics of discussion. A further push into the narrative discusses the discomfort of 'drain pain', and the ever-present catheter, yet her relentless spirit and determination shine through. Emma's dedication to raise public awareness about kidney disease, fuelled by the TikTok community's support, is a key element spurring her to fight her health challenge with a brave face. Her resilience, strength, and optimism put on display for young individuals fighting similar battles. The broader discussion about ableist mindsets, the lack of understanding, empathy for young CKD patients, and the central role social media plays in connecting kidney disease patients globally is also tackled. Join us in this heartfelt conversation that not only encapsulates the harsh reality of CKD but also the inherent spirit of survival, support, and hope.
