Granty, Vulnerable - yes, but not in the “Extremely” Vulnerable range. However, if in any doubt, in my humble opinion self-isolation would be wise. I am over 70, have a sole kidney and CKD3 , eGFR ranging between 38 and 44, with resistant very high blood pressure and a leaking heart valve but I’m not classed as being “Extremely Vulnerable”. However, I haven’t been out through the front for 3 weeks.

There was something posted by the NKF recently. You should GOOGLE...."One kidney & corona virus"

I found from the article, that one kidney does not put you at increased risk for the corona virus as long as you don't have any issues with your kidney. That said, do you have normal function with no kidney issues?

Stay safe.
