How To Recover From CKD?
My son has down syndrome, now we R told he has CKD, his creatine is between 1.67 & most recent test shows 1.88, his doctor wants to do a Biopsy purely for diagnostic purposes, I have some reluctance about that procedure. He's 27 years old, what can we do to slow this disease?
