Daughter With Failing Right Kidney
Dear sir. My daughter age 13 yrs. Her right kidney functioning 15% and her left kidney was normal. Kolkata doctor told us that they have puj obstruction. I am taking suggestion of two or three doctors. Some one say surgery is necessary. But they also told after surgery they can not say how much it was improved. Also say in near future some infection can be arised. Some doctor say don't do the surgery it was her birth problem and it may not effect any. Normally they have no problem.in her health. We don't understand what we have to do. Kindly suggest the sugesstion that will save of My child.

Hello Amit,
Concerning your daughter's kidney situation; more info would help...has the kidney been giving low function levels for long...is this a KNOWN congenital issue?
Full function of one kidney is perfectly ok unless tumor obstruction is at work to cause dual kidney failure. I am presuming you are sure no tumors at work in her lower track...correct?
What are her creatinine levels? Should be OK since other kidney is functioning all right.
My experience with kidney issue is go slow until you are sure what the situation is...a person can live quite well with one kidney.
Could be infection in that one kidney...if me I would at least take some form of anti viral/bacterial/fungal. In India I don't know what is common in herbal medicine. Here in States I use Colloidal silver to kill infections.
I've seen a kidney "come back"...low function does not mean it is gone...it can overcome obstructions, infections etc. That is why I say don't jump to surgery too fast until you get second opinions.
