Grandma's kidney problem?
Recently, the doctor told us that my grandma's kidneys are badly damaged. In fact, only 10% of them are functional. Soon, she will need dialysis and a transplant. What the hell am I supposed to do? I am really close to my grandma and I don't want to lose her.

Herbal and other "natural" meds are NOT cures for kidney disease. There IS no cure. All of the earlier answers are off base.
At her age, dialysis may be her only option. Transplants tend to go to younger patients with the same tissue type.
Just spend time with her. Treat her as you do now.

As your grandma`s kidney function is only 10% working so it stepped into the chronic kidney disease stage 5. It is a dangerous period but it is also a good period for treatment and in the hospital where I work there are examples of total curement and get rid of dialysis. So take your grandma to hospital as soon as possible and hope she get well soon. If you want to know more detailed information you can contact me:kidneycn@ y a h o o.c o m or skype:q1045389353

I'm sorry to hear that! It sounds serious , I don't think transplant is a good way to sovle your grandma's kidney problem ,because it will need a large amount of immunosuppressant to avoid rejection ,but these medicine is very expensive , besides,they have a lot of side effects which are very bad to her body.it is hopeful to improve the kidney function through chinese medicine ,needless of transplant ,you can try it,best wishes!!!

My Doctor Told Me the depressing news - "Your Kidneys Are FAILING!"
My worsening kidney disease symptoms included:
- Nausea and vomiting and constant stomach upset
- Passing only small amounts of urine and stopping and starting while urinating
- Swelling in my ankles and lower legs
- Puffiness around my eyes with brain fog and moodiness
- Chronic fatigue and shortness of breath when exerting myself
- Loss of appetite and not wanting to eat at all
- Increasingly higher blood pressure
- Bouts of anxiety and depression
- Muscle cramps which were worse in my legs
That a friend of mine sent me a link to a website (http://naturehomecure.com)/ that helped his Mother. She was just like me, and was suffering with failing kidneys and experienced the same worries and fears I was going through. All I could do was try it and see if it worked.
Here's where the story gets a little strange. Two months later, Instead of my kidneys sliding down the slippery slope of kidney failure and getting progressively worse, they started to get better.
My Doctor could not believe how much improved my kidney function output had increased and my GFR was UP and creatinine levels lower. My kidneys were starting to work again, and removing all the toxins in my body. I got my life back!
Now, I am using this 100% all natural protocol which restored my kidney function and did it naturally, without the use of unnatural man-made pharmaceutical drugs or dialysis. In less than two months my kidneys were on the mend. Now six months later, My kidney's are back to normal again.
