I found this board a few days ago when I was browsing the net for kidney failure. I myself am healthy, but a friends father has been diagnosed with kidney failure. My friend is very worried and so am I and I joined this board to gain better undersatnding of the desease. English is not my native language and I am sorry for my mistakes.
