I've got severe kidney disease. It's also genetic. I've actually have kidney pain as we speak. I'm starting to give up. Because it will come out of no where. I battle with my kidneys at least 3 times a year. Is there any other test they can do to get to the root of this problem. I'm so tired of going to hospital because of my kidneys.

Not to discount the need to know your medical history, or the need for donors. However I found an exception to that "they can't fix your kidneys" statement, isn't 100% true. Feel free to reach out to me if you want to hear more on this, and I have verifiable documentation.

Is it possible to reverse kidneys disease?
