My sister went for her first dialysis. She started with two-hour sessions but today they increased the time to four hours. Since then, her blood pressure increased to 225/124 (very high). The doctor gave her two tablets to lower her pressure and will retake it in an hour. Can you explain her high blood pressure? Do you think she needs to stay at two-hour dialysis sessions for a while longer? She is not ready for three sessions per week, each lasting four hours.

I have been experiencing symptoms that I believe are related to my kidneys, including nausea, pain in my urethra usually after urination, difficulty fully urinating, and back pain in the kidney area. I suspect this may be due to accidentally swallowing gasoline during a hurricane. Which doctor should I see for help with this?

I found a bandaid in my coffee this morning. I didn’t realize until I was 80% finished with the cup. What medical risks could I be facing, and is there any possibility of contracting HIV from the bandaid if I didn’t swallow it?

I'm in the process of decreasing Wellbutrin and increasing Lamictal. I plan to get off Wellbutrin completely. Will I settle into a good place? I'm feeling antsy and hard to be still. How long should I stay on the reduced Wellbutrin dose before fully discontinuing it? Should I increase Lamictal, and when should I make any changes to my medication regimen?
