Reduced kidney function/ chronic kidney disease friends?
Hello, looking for some other mums to be who are considered to have chronic kidney disease (CKD)?
Before I was born, it was found my kidneys were not draining properly. This meant after I was born there were many surgeries and some complications and subsequently more surgeries. Although it hasn’t really affected me after the first few years of life, I have a large extra renal pelvis in my right kidney and my kidney function was 90% up to a few years ago when a uti brought my function down to 70% which has never recovered. At an unrelated specialist appointment I was told my function was fine with this reduction but two things might put my kidneys at risk and should be watched closely: uti’s and pregnancy.
Anyone else have reduced kidney function? How do you go about keeping on top of making sure you and bubs are ok? Any advice? Words of support?
