8. Stage III Chronic Renal Insufficiency
Sat Jul 27, 2013, 07:09 PM
Jul 2013

Also Type 2 Diabetes but that's not what caused the kidney disease. FMD in both renal arteries. had renal angioplasties 3 times. Seems that arteries are finally cleared but the lack of blood flow over the years played havoc with my kidneys. Nephrologist tells me I'm a long way from dialysis which makes me feel better. I about fell over when he talked about my kidney function being at 30%. He reassured me I could stay at this level for years. I hope he is right.
