Hiya All,
going for our medicals June 7Th.
Kath is worried sick to death about the fact she had a kidney removed(due to stones) 5 plus years ago. She has had NO problems since.
Any advise please, good or bad.................

Don't think she should worry. You can lead a healthy life with one kidney. I had a severe gall bladder attack when I was 47 and they discovered that I had only one kidney and it was badly damaged because of a defective uretha. I had been born this way and was never sick. By the time it was discovered I had 4 sons without any problems. Wont say how many years ago I was operated on to fix the uretha - it's been a few(!!!)- So all is not lost.

Hi there I dont think you will have a problem my hubby was born with one kidney he didnt know till he was 45 he had xrays for something unrelated thats when he found out and he hasn't had any problems.

Hi don't worry, we have friends who moved here and he has only one kidney. They are now Citizens, been here for 5 years.

Bro
take note of what has been said here. Praying for you both!!
It may help to actually get a bit more information about how a single kidney works just as well as two, it may help at appeal if it ever comes to that.

Thanks to all, for all your votes of confidence.

OH! Dave tell Kath to STOP worrying, Dr Million is a really nice guy have a chat with him tell him your concerns. Make sure Kath takes a letter from her Consultant at the hospital she can get this via her GP to state that there is no ongoing treatment needed. Also wish her a
VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
