| Episode 158: Stage 5 Kidney Failure Without Warning: Carla’s Dialysis to Transplant Journey | 27 Apr 2026 | 00:47:22 | |
Carla shares how she was diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure without warning, leading to dialysis and ultimately a kidney transplant. This episode explores missed signs, sudden diagnosis, and the reality of living through kidney failure.
In this episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, Dee Moore speaks with Carla — a kidney warrior and former mental health nurse — about her experience of being diagnosed with stage 5 kidney failure without warning.
After earlier test results showed declining kidney function, Carla did not receive follow-up — and later found herself sitting in front of a consultant being told her kidneys were functioning at just 12%. What followed was a sudden transition into dialysis, a challenging and emotional journey through treatment, and ultimately, a kidney transplant.
Carla shares her story with honesty and insight — from the shock of diagnosis, to navigating dialysis access and setbacks, to the mental and emotional toll of living with kidney failure.
This episode is a powerful reminder of how kidney disease can progress silently, and the importance of listening to your body, asking questions, and advocating for your health.

| Episode 149: Managing Christmas with Kidney Disease: Emotional Wellness, Hope & Gratitude | 15 Dec 2025 | 00:29:29 | |
Christmas can be beautiful… and heavy—especially when you’re living with kidney disease. In this special seasonal episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast (in partnership with Kidney Care UK), host Dee Moore is joined by two renal counsellors, Sarah and Paula, to talk honestly about the emotional realities of the holiday season and how kidney patients (and loved ones) can navigate it with more calm, support, and hope.
Together, we explore why Christmas can bring a mix of emotions—from joy and community to grief, exhaustion, overwhelm, and pressure—especially when you’re balancing dialysis, medication side effects, fatigue, and changing family expectations.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
✅ Why Christmas can feel emotionally challenging (and also uplifting) with chronic illness ✅ A powerful way to think about kidney disease during the holidays: the “uninvited guest” analogy ✅ How hope helps you keep going—and what to do when you can’t generate hope yourself ✅ The mental health benefits of gratitude, including simple “top and tail” daily practices ✅ Practical coping strategies: cutting the “Christmas fluff,” planning ahead, protecting your energy, and taking 5-minute self-care resets ✅ Permission to do Christmas your way (yes—even if you hate turkey!)
If this season feels hard, please remember: you’re not alone. You don’t have to carry everything by yourself. Be gentle with your body, be kind to your mind, and take things one moment at a time.
🎧 Listen now and share this episode with someone who may need support this Christmas.

| Episode 49: Kidney Failure, Faith and Hope: Kemeil’s Kidney Warrior Story | 06 Dec 2021 | 00:42:14 | |
In this powerful episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, Dee Moore speaks with Kemeil McCalla, a businessman, barber, gospel bass player, husband and father from Wolverhampton, England.
Kemeil shares his remarkable Kidney Warrior story, from first being told in 2002 that his kidneys were failing to spending years in denial about his diagnosis. Believing he felt well and struggling to understand how kidney disease could affect him, Kemeil stopped attending follow-up appointments and routine blood tests, unaware that his kidney function was continuing to decline.
Everything changed in 2020 when symptoms including severe fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps and weakness became impossible to ignore. After arranging a blood test, Kemeil received devastating news: his kidneys had deteriorated so severely that he should already have been on dialysis. Within days, his kidney function fell to just 2%, resulting in an emergency “crash landing” onto dialysis.
In this honest and emotional conversation, Kemeil discusses:
• The shock of being diagnosed with kidney disease • Why he struggled to accept his diagnosis for many years • The dangers of missing follow-up appointments and blood tests • Experiencing kidney failure and emergency dialysis treatment • Living through the COVID-19 pandemic while starting dialysis • The physical and emotional impact of haemodialysis • Learning to adapt to life with kidney disease • The importance of family support, friendship and community • Finding strength through faith during life’s most difficult moments • Adjusting to peritoneal dialysis and life after a crash landing onto dialysis • The power of hope, resilience and a positive mindset
Kemeil’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of listening to your body, attending regular medical appointments, and seeking support when living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). His journey highlights both the challenges of kidney failure and the incredible resilience that can emerge during life’s toughest battles.
Whether you are living with kidney disease, supporting a loved one, working in healthcare, or simply looking for an inspiring story of courage and perseverance, this episode offers valuable insights, encouragement and hope.
🎧 Listen now and discover how Kemeil transformed fear and uncertainty into faith, strength and determination.

| Episode 148: Menopause & Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): A Listener-Led Q&A With Dr Vikram Talaulikar | 01 Dec 2025 | 00:36:43 | |
What happens when menopause meets chronic kidney disease? How do you know if it’s your hormones, your kidneys or your medication talking? And what options are actually on the table if you’re living with CKD, on dialysis or post-transplant?
In this special listener-led edition of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast (in partnership with Kidney Care UK), host Dee Moore is joined again by menopause specialist Dr Vikram to answer questions sent directly from the Kidney Warrior community.
Together they unpack real-life concerns about: •Navigating menopause symptoms alongside CKD, dialysis or transplant •When HRT may or may not be suitable if you have kidney or liver disease •Non-hormonal options for hot flushes, night sweats, mood and sleep •Period changes on haemodialysis and after transplant •Bone health, osteoporosis risk and steroids •Fibroids, endometriosis, early menopause and hysterectomy in the context of CKD •How to advocate for yourself with your GP, renal team and menopause services
You’ll also hear a powerful call from Dr Vikram for better research that truly includes women with CKD, especially those from ethnic minority backgrounds – and why your story and participation matter.
🔔 Please note: This episode is for education and information only and does not replace medical advice. Always speak to your GP, renal team or menopause specialist about your own situation.
