Hi, my name is Alan, I'm 68 years old and I have stage 4 ckd. My gfr is 25, creatinine is 2.8. 20 years ago I was
diagnosed with bladder cancer, for the past 19 years I have had a neo bladder. One of my kidneys was blocked by scare tissue last year and was not detected until it was down to 15%. A nef tube was inserted with a bag to save what was left of the kidney, every 3 months it has to changed, out patient surgery. I would like to know if anyone has a reconstructed bladder for any length of time?
