@kjm54 The underlying condition for my kidney disease is called Type III Collagenofibrotic Glomerulopathy. Where glomerulonephritis causes inflammation of the filtering components, what I have actually places fibrin deposits into those same filtering components, eventually clogging them and shutting them down. There are 28 known different types of collagen in the body, each with responsibilities and activities! Who would have known!
