Anyone else grandparents had kidney failure? My mum has just got back from taking my nan to the hospital and her kidneys are only working 14%. They're going to be sending round Macmillan 😞

The problem my nan has is she isn't on dyalasis or any medication and I've looked up that without that she will only live for a few months 😞x

My grandad isn't either ! You can actually live well on a small percentage of your kidneys working and they can do a lot to help x

Does he have a good diet? My nan struggles to eat and drink.. we obviously hope she lives longer but you just don't know do you?😐

urm not really bit we have meals delivered for him from Wiltshire farm foods so we know what he eats the reason for his kidney failed is because he has cancer and the chemo attacked his kidneys but they seem to manage his kidneys well but he will have to have dyalasis eventually but your right you just don't know it makes him very tired and get kidney infections a lot but I hope the best for your nan and hope they can help her 💜 xx
