friend with kidney failure

[Guest guest]

We were supposed to go to a good friend's home tonight for a Super Bowl party. Instead we are waiting to hear why he has had kidney failure.He is a man of 60, extremely overweight and has diabetes (to what extent, I don't know). Earlier last week he was having trouble with kidney stones. I do know he has had problems with this previously. His wife called this week, and said he had not passed the stone, and we may have to cancel the party. He has had a job where he travels a great deal. He will be in a certain location for months, fly home on the weekend and back again. This past job-just completed was in Mexico-I think Monterey.

 

This morning I learned that he was in the hospital with renal failure. The doctors discovered one of his kidneys had atrophied and had been functioning on just one-for how long they don't know. His wife is the first one to tell you that he doesn't take care of himself. Diet being the major factor. I always cringed when we went out and he ordered diet drinks. Being away for home most of the time I am positive he ate any thing he felt like.

 

Does anyone have any information about what will happen to someone in this condition? Can the one kidney become healthy again? Will he have to be on dialysis the rest of his life?

 

Thanks, Judy

From what I understand, you can live on one kidney. Course, then, if one continues to do the things incorrectly that blew away the other kidney, then, its probably a pretty much of a sure thing that the other kidney couldn't be far behind. He will have to "begin", at least, to take care of himself if he expects, correct that, if he wants to, live for much longer with this strike against him.

I wish him and friends well.

I have worked with kidney failure and it is an unfortunate situation when a person has to go on dialysis. Average lifespan for someone who has complete kidney failure is about seven years. One thing that I would suspect with your friend is that he is on high blood pressure drugs. They are known to destroy the function of the kidneys. Other drugs can destroy kidney function as well. If I were you, I would advise this person to see a natural health professional and get off of the poisonous drugs. Proper diet ( organic food ) and herbal medicines is the only way that he stands a chance to save his last functioning kidney. Many people live with only one kidney. Most people only get one kidney when they receive a transplant.Hope you can help this person with this information.Jerry Andersonbobjudy wrote: We were supposed to go to a good friend's home tonight for a Super Bowl party.

I lost a dear friend last Sunday (28th).... she'd had complete kidney failure back in 1987 at age 40...lived on dialysis for some months and then received a kidney transplant in 1988......it gave her 19 years of added life....last month it quit functioning....she started dialysis again...........but sadly, while still in the hospital, she suffered a brain anyeurism (sp?) and went into a coma and died the next day :-((((

So sorry to hear of your friend's passing. It brought back memories of a friend of mine. We went to college together. At the age of about 34--I am 59 now, she had total renal failure. She had a transplant from her sister, but after about a year it failed.. She was on the operating table getting another donor kidney and died right then-at 36. It was a very sad time for all and she left behind a very young daughter. I feel very lucky to have had relatively good heath. It is a little scary now to be at the age where we see close friends losing husbands, siblings, etc. Most of us have already lost their parents. On exception is my husband's mother. She is 84 and still goes out dancing with her 90 year old boyfriend! She has been very health conscious all of her life-diet and supplements. So there is a lot to be said from all the positive help with this group. I have several friends who don't even want to listen to me anymore. On occasion I do get up on the soap box. I get on them about their artificial sweetener use. One gal finally said that her husband got information from someone at work-bigwig at Georgia Tech. about the dangers of aspartame and such. Now she is changing her tune. Who am I but a mere friend who makes these wild suggestions. Oh well, here I am back on the soap box.

 

Take care,

Judy

The main support for the kidney is glutathione, promoted by

undenatured whey and selenium. The kidneys are the second biggest

users of glutathione.

 

Many people with renal failure find it beneficial to dissolve some of

the scar tissue and also fibrosis, the biggest cause of organ failure

in the elderly, to reduce inflammation and potentially also plaque as

well. Metabolic enzymes do that and they do it in just days. I'd

suggest BlockBuster All Clear as one of the top brands anywhere and a

good price too.

 

 

Good luck.

We have good news about my friend. The good kidney is functioning now and the doctor feels his prognosis is favorable. His wife says this may have been the best thing to happen --meaning he saw his future and he did not like what he saw. He has type two diabetes and that doctor says with diet and exercise he can control it. Maybe he will change his ways.

 

Thank you all for your help.

 

Judy
