Well I guess I'm supposed to introduce myself here. I'm 36 with stage 4 ckd my kidney disease is kinda rare as in my family is the only one with it. It's called UMOD  or umak. It's a protein that's built wrong pretty much. I'm glad I found a place for questions as I have a ton.

Hi David, welcome! I also have UKD (it has quite a few names). I'm a year and a half post transplant and doing well. I have two sisters recently diagnosed and there's the worry for the next generation. Hopefully you have been in contact with Dr. Bleyer at Wake Forest Baptist. Pretty much all UKD roads lead to him.
