I have been diagnosed with Chronic kidney disease, stage IV (severe). He said that this condition cannot be reversed, and he was talking about kidney transplants, and dialysis. This is very frightening.
He said make sure that I do not take Advil. BF |

Brokenfriend, I am sorry to read about your kidney disease.
If a kidney transplant is not an option for you, there are two forms of dialysis. One is haemodialysis, which requires regular hospital visits. The other is Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) which happens at home. These options might be worth discussing with your doctor. My father lived for many years when using CAPD after chronic renal failure.
