Stage 3b CKD in just one kidney
Posted: Sat Jul 16, 2016 10:20 am
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend has been diagnosed with stage 3b kidney disease in one of her kidneys. She's 23 years old.
Her consultant says the other kidney is fine, but that there is a higher risk than normal that she'll get it in that kidney as she's susceptible to it.
I've read that CKD usually affects both kidneys. Does anyone else have it in just one? What's the likelihood of it spreading? Does only having it in one kidney mean a better outlook?
Thanks a lot
