No kidney disease here but way back in 1996 when Mom had Chronic Leukemia, I had three homes to keep up, an office to run, did entertaining for our business, and shows for one of the products we sold. At one of these shows, I became very sick but waited until morning to see a doctor four hours from our home. This doctor wanted to hospitalize me but I convinced him to let me return home because though I had non-working sisters, they would not help our mother. I almost killed a kidney, but fortunately I recovered. (Note: One sister passed away and the other one still only thinks of herself.)
