Monday I went to hospital to see the Renal Kidney Doctor and was told my results from my Kidney Biopsy. I have been diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy which is a type of Glomerulonephritis (Kidney Disease) The Kidney Biopsy was to determine how severe of a disease I had, I found out that very answer. My Kidneys are not going to last, the estimated guess is anywhere between a few months to a year, I will have to go on Kidney Dialysis and I will have to have a Kidney Transplant.

At the minute there’s too much to take in, a number of blood tests will be carried out to see what kind of supplements and vitamins I need to try to keep my Kidney’s as stable as they possibly can and my blood pressure pills that I take every morning have been upped.

I am so scared of this disease and I will try to fight as hard as I can but I'm so scared that it will beat me. Please help sad
