I need someone to answer this question?

Question

I have a brother that been diagnoised with a kidney problem. He is concerned about his health and wants to know how do a regular kidney function? He thinks that he is not in a chronic kidney -end stage renal disease. He was diagnoised with it through some blood work. He only has one kidney and found out at the age of 57.
After seeing doctors for many years and wondering why he was never told of this one kidney.

Should he get a second opinion? Is all chronic kidney problems as told considered end stage renal disease. He wants an organization that can help with most of his question about his problem. They immediately put him on dialaysis after the blood test saying that he got examined just on time and would have died if if he waited 2 more weeks. He feels his kidneys before and now awas always working fine. They makes mistakes like taking more bblood than required blaming it on the kidney machine. What can a person do in a situation like this. Any and all answers will be accepted.

Answer 1

I would get a second opinion. It never hurts. Remember, the dialysis center wants your $$$$.


It is like this: Out there, in your town is the worst, stupidest Doctor in town - and somebody has an appointment with him tomorrow.

If you do not believe your doctor, then get a second opinion, a third opinion, and as many as you need.
