[|Human|] hi im a 22 year old women who recently just got on dialysis its been three months since i been on here. and the question i have is do the dialysis tech post to tell you about your kidneys progress? because they don t tell me nothing i have high blood pressure and we still trying get that down when i first went to the dialysis center my blood pressure was good then it turn around and shot high my doctor gave me some more medicine but the top number still high. how can i get a high risk doctor or a better doctor that can help me?
[|AI|]  Relying on dialysis technician for blood pressure control is not a good idea. Experienced technician might have idea but better to consult in charge nephrologist. If you are not happy with your doctor consult other nephrologist.  Common causes for uncontrolled BP are excessive salt and water intake. Try to take BP medicines after dialysis finished. Regrading survival on HD is on average is 8 years. If possible go for transplant with which survival will be more than 30 years. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to consult me.
