I have had a sudden dramatic loss of kidney function but I don't feel ill . my reading is 11 and my kidney consultant has put me on 40 mg a day for my par plus adding anautoimune lowering drug to get my antibodies down as they are off the scale and have caused vasculitis in my kidneys. has any one else had this done?
