Hi folks,

I have a degenerative kidney disease that has reached the point where I need to go onto dialysis.

What I'm wondering is if there's any climbers out there who are on this and happy to chat about how they manage it?  Can do this privately rather than on the forum.

thanks

Lee

A friend of mine went through kidney failure and had a successful transplant last August. Not sure how long he could climb as his kidneys failed due to gout, but I'll alert him to your thread. Good luck buddy!

Stefano Ghisolfi's partner, Sarah Grip, had kidney disease and was on dialysis for 5 years. He writes about it on his Instagram a bit. From his posts it looked like she seemed to climb pretty well (7b) despite this.
