    Chronic kidney disease, also known as chronic kidney failure is a kidney condition that gradually results in loss of kidney function. Kidneys are chiefly responsible for filtering wastes and fluids that buildup in the blood in normal course.you will get well soon...Nothing to worry

      Hi joyous. That reading of 90% suggests your kidneys are working fine. I am 55 and my one kidney is only working at 56%, which is not fine sad but I can still smile smile and that is something I will continue to do.

    I am a 53yo male living in Australia with Stage 4 PKD and seeking alternative treatment than dialysis and future transplant.

    Has anyone undertaken the Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy treatment for PKD in China?

    Was it successful, what stage of PKD did you have?

    Is this treatment legitimate and worth the cost?

    Where in China did you get the treatment and would you recommend it?

    Appreciate any feedback

    Thank you

    Regards

    Gordon
