      Types: Kidney (Renal)

      My name is Lizabeth. I was born with bilateral dysplastic kidney disease. They just didnt form. When i was 13 i was put on PD and stayed on that till i was 19y/o. it's been an experience..like a roller coaster up and down. Ive had hemorrhaging ovarian cysts (15) , scoliosis (as of 9y/o), osteopnea (18y/o) arthritis and so on..I am thankful im still alive and i love being in nursing school. i have two degrees one in Cardiovascular Technology, and EMT and i have one more year left in nursing!!

    • Close Dialysis

      I was on dialysis (PD) from 13y/o to 19. There are alot of things not even your doctor will mention especially when youre a young adolescent female. Kidneys regulate your growth hormone...and mine didnt realize that. i was anemic and hypoxic and no one knew it...my mom figured it out. shes always been very involved. now shes an Nurse practitioner in nephrology..go figure! hah
