This is a diary of my final stage treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease and renal failure.
Monday, 26 October 2009
I went in for my kidney removal on the 2nd October, after a delay i went down and returned 3 hours later minus 10.5 kilograms (22lbs) of Kidneys. Some of the biggest the surgeon had seen!
I came back into the Acute Renal Care as my blood pressure was low and i was in need of a blood transfusion.
I am a 40 year old from a small village in the UK. I was diagnosed with PKD in 1985 and lived a normal life since. Recently my kidneys have started to fail and now its time to remove them and go for a transplant. This is my diary.
