Hello! My name is Anthony from Mumbai, India. I was first detected with CRF in April 2003 with creatinine level 250 due to hypertensive. I was told to go on low protein diet and survived until I was told to prepare for transplant in April 2009. Started difficult process to search for donor and at the end I received help from my brother in law Clifford who donated his kidney. I underwent Transplant on 20th Sep 2010 and both of us currently doing fine. God bless him.

I am new to this site and appreciate information I have been able to gather last few days. Hope we all continue to share our experiences and help each other in making life beautiful.
