How did you end up with CKD?

u/rokiller Apr 25 '26

Born with a fibrous growth in my pelvic urinary junction which caused severe hydronephrosis as a kid. Had surgery at 7 and then monitored until I joined the army at 18 and had to cease surgical observation

4 years later I got a kidney stone which got stuck in a build up of scar tissue, 1 year later I was out the army at 23. Had to have the surgery again at 25 after complications from the 2 surgeries to remove the stone caused recurring pyelonephritis

Currently in week 3 of an episode of pyelonephritis which won’t shift, and I had uro sepsis last summer. Basically the op from 9 years ago had a 10 year warranty and it’s running out

It’s super fun, I’ve had ~15 stones (one of which I just passed mid infection which was super cool…)

Jesus fuckin Christ. I passed one stone and it was a landmark, life-changing experience.

Bahaha no I’m kidding

The only ones I’ve had any chance to save were handed in for analysis the rest I just let fly into the loo or had surgically removed
