I just received a call from my transplant coordinator. After their cardiologist reviewed my most recent echocardiogram, they want me to do another one after some “aggressive” dialysis. I believe the reason was that the last test showed high blood pressure and they want me to try again after some fluid removal. This matches what the Crit-Line thingy showed today, and they dialysis center is already trying to remove more fluid.
However, the instructions seem kind of vague. WTF is more “aggressive” dialysis? You can’t really change the cleaning cycle so I guess we’re all talking about more ultrafiltration or fluid removal. I sent a message to the transplant cardiologist, my local cardiologist, and also my nephrologist asking them what to do. Since this is yet another hurdle on the way to getting a kidney transplant, I want to make sure I’m not being rejected due to some random test result.
