A Word From Your Healthcare Team
The human body works as a system. If one part of the system isn't working well, other parts may be affected too. Kidneys can fail for a number of different reasons, and some times they fail for no reason that can be identified. Because the healthy kidney is such an efficient organ, by the time you start to experience symptoms of kidney disease there may be a great deal of permanent damage. However, there may be steps you can take to slow down the progression of your disease. Ask your doctor and healthcare team what you can do to keep as healthy as possible.
