it is possible it could become worse? John-SKPT responded: It
might, but it would depend on what the docs determine to be the
underlying condition. Kidney disease rarely exists in isolation;
it nearly always can be traced to some other factor or condition
that is causing it.  So the docs need to TREAT the underlying
condition (like high blood pressure for example) and at the same
time they need to MANAGE the renal condition and any side
effects that might arise from that.  I can't make a real guess;
the docs are the ones who will eventually collect enough info to
give accurate answers.  Spotlight: Member Stories   Helpful Tips
