:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I have just returned from great ormond street hospital with my 15 week old daughter and am in a state of total shock. What we all thought was a mild kidney complaint which would go away by itself has turned out to be a blockage in the tube draining the kidney. The backflow of urine back into the kidney has basically destroyed it and we are now on the waiting list for her to have the 'dead' kidney removed.
I know nothing about this condition and the implications of living with one kidney. I know it happens as people are able to donate kidneys and still live normal lives and I also heard that many people live their whole life unaware that they have only one kidney. But i'm so scared and wanted to hear from other people who have had kidneys removed so I can get educated and get some support.
I'd love to hear from anyone as at the moment I feel confused, frightened and very aloneand desperately trying to hold it together for the sake of my baby.
