Do You Know The Cause Of Your Chronic Kidney Disease?
I know my culprit is diabetes and high blood pressure. But I got to thinking, I know that everyone who gets CKD doesn't have these illnesses.
Do you know what caused you to have CKD? Did your doctor tell you? I know there have to be different causes for so many people getting this besides having diabetes and high blood pressure.
We would love to hear from you.
Hi
Mine is actually a genetic mutation disease that’s actually rare only three people have it and that includes me and my twin sister. So it’s a very small group but genetic mutations can cause a rare disease that can be a kidney disease. It's so complicated but I know there is no cure or way to help it.
Thanks Sabad (team member)Hello
This is very interesting. Did you all get tested for this? Just curious.

The Genetics team/doctor did ask for samples from all of my immediate family members and showed they didn’t have the genetic mutations but that I did and my sister who then further investigated our genetics.
Thanks, Sabad (team member)Thanks for the information.
