I’ve got kidney disease, stage 3 and I’m a 16 year old girl. I’m not planning on drinking any time soon, I don’t drink but I was wondering if later in life if I’ll ever be able to have alcohol? How much?
Thanks for your answers!

What exactly causes kidney disease and subsequently the need for kidney dialysis?

I am curious about the process of injecting a dog that has kidney disease with IV fluids. I understand it helps, but how does the fluids make their way from under the skin to the blatter and flushes the kidneys in the meantime?

How does it contribute to kidney disease and stroke ?

Please just give me the links to where this could be found.
First person to give me the best websites gets best answer.

Do you know someone who has/had kidney disease? If so how long did they live? How many kidney transplants did they receive, 1? 2? 3?
Or are you a doctor who knows statistics. I would really like to know how long people usually live if they had kidney failure as a young child and had a transplant and now need another kidney transplant. How long can that person really expect to live?

I know a lot about kidney disease (renal failure), but can’t seem to find the answer to one question: how is the immune system affected by kidney disease? I would like to know if people with kidney disease are more likely to catch colds, flus, etc. than those without it? If anyone knows the answer to this question, I’d appreciate your answer! Thanks.

Whenever i eat tomato within 15 mintues i feel tired, like really tired, and lightheaded, dizzy, my eyes go really weird, like if there is a light on in the room for some reason it flickers in my eyes, i ask my work mates and they say the light is fine. Am i allergic to uric acid? could it be gout? Its been happening for about 2 months, and i also have polycystic kidney disease…. is there some sort of connection there? I love tomato and i refuse to stop eating it, has anyone else experienced this before? and if so, how did you fix it?
I can eat Napoli sauce, tomato sauce, sun dried tomatos and anything else containing tomatoes just not tomatoes themselves, and i eat salt in ridiculous amounts and its never bothered me, like i’ll cover my food in salt, i just crave it all the time… If its cooked tomato i sorat have the same effect just not so bad
