Comment on Remember to 2FA your kidneys.

we can go years without peeing before transplant

I’m sure I’m passing this sentence wrong, but I cannot work it out. It sounds like you’re saying that sometimes people don’t pee until they’ve had a transplant.

Yup, that’s what I’m saying.

You can lose the ability to pee with kidney failure.

And your health goes down drastically once you do

When I started dialysis, I could still work and such. But I could also still pee.

After about 2 years, I lost the ability completely, and that’s when physical activity became harder, because the water removal fluctuations became harsher with dialysis.

Then I moved to Finland, which has hemodiafiltration instead of only hemodialysis like the USA, and got much better again.
