My father was diagnosed 1.5 years ago after experiencing total kidney failure. It is hard not to despair at how difficult it is to manage both. He is in remission, but it's been one thing after another with dialysis. Now he is suffering from recurring peritonitis and I just wanted to ask you all if anyone was in a similar position and was able to heal their kidneys? Thank you ❤️
