Any stage 4 CKD people here? (or post transplant)
Hello All,
My wife is currently stage 4 CKD. Her GFR varies between 15-19. We were supposed to get a transplant from her Father this past April but Covid has squashed that completely until next year sometime.
I'm wondering if anyone here has some experience cycling with Kidney failure. Or have a loved one who suffers from CKD and also cycles.
My lady has started biking every other day for what started out as 20min 1-4mile rides. Now she is doing 10miles (avg speed has increased from 8mph to 11.5mph )every other day and we are both kinda wondering when she will hit the wall and not be able to progress any further...if that is such a thing that is...we simply have no idea what we are in for...
Hoping some can share some experiences, or story's of cycling post transplant.
thanks guys,
JAG

Thought i'd bump this thread again and see if anyone out there has some cycling with CKD (chronic kidney disease) stories or tips to share.

Not everyone at BF gets down this low on the sub-forum list. If you don't get a hit in a few more days, then try a different and busier sub-forum. Road or Over Fifty..... if you qualify. Is an interesting question though.
