Living with kidney disease is a full time job, but so is being a mum. This Mother's Day, we're sharing Clare's story to highlight the struggle of balancing haemodialysis with raising two young children.

And this number is only increasing.

Dialysis is crucial to kidney patients to help keep them alive. It works by performing some of the functions of the kidney, such as removing waste from your blood, helping to maintain balanced levels of fluid and minerals, and helping to control blood pressure.

While dialysis is not a cure for kidney failure, it can do about 10% of the work of healthy kidneys.

There are two main types of dialysis:

- Haemodialysis: this can be given in hospital, in free-standing dialysis units (often called satellite units), or at home.

-️ Peritoneal dialysis: is done at home, and it is possible to have daily assistance in setting up the machine

Whether dialysis is on the horizon, or you have crash-landed onto it, it can be incredibly overwhelming. Just remember you are not alone and there are helpful resources available.

We have information on our website dedicated to dialysis, and offer a free dialysis decision aid, to help make these important decisions.

@Cambs_Traffic @CadentGasLtd Once again traffic a nightmare @CadentGasLtd - please give priority to traffic heading towards Cambridge in the mornings- 35 mins queuing from 7am when should take less than 5 mins- plus no cars at all queuing the other way!

[Clare Adams @clarejparslow]

@Cambs_Traffic @CadentGasLtd Please adjust the timing on these lights @CadentGasLtd , 25 mins queuing from Earith side to the lights at 7am this morning, with minimal traffic coming the other way- not good!

🍽️ When you have #CKD, you may be advised to manage the levels of phosphate in your diet.

🤔 Understanding the difference between #NaturalPhosphate & #AddedPhosphate can help with making healthy choices alongside the support of your #KidneyDietitian.

On the tube in London today & I see that #deadpool is advertising #alkaline pH9 water 👀 A reminder that everything you eat & drink has to pass through your stomach which is pH1.5 & neutralised to pH7 once it enters the small intestine. Don’t waste £$€ on this 🐂💩
