Hello,
My name is Mario and I have been a dialysis patient for about a year and a half.  I am a 35 year old male.  I'm not exactly sure how I got this condition, and the doctors were somewhat puzzled.  I came across this site and share many of same stories that a lot of you have.  Its also nice to be able to relate to the same issues we all have.

 :welcomesign; Mario,

It is very frustrating when doctors say, "I don't know, it is very confusing".....and then you see the bill for $1500 (ugh!)  :stressed;

My youngest daughter was sick for three years and finally blood tests sent to genetics department at University of Michigan determined that she had NPHP type 1, a recessive genetic kidney condition that causes kidneys to fail between the ages of 13 and 19.

It must be hard to be on dialysis and not know why your kidneys failed. Any kidney problems in family or history of high blood pressure? There are so many knowledgeable people on this forum.  Sorry that you have to go through dialysis. Glad you joined the group. :grouphug;
