Does anybody know anybody in real life that has had chronic kidney disease?

[Bopizku]

My mom got diagnosed with CKD and its in Stage 3. So I was wondering if anyone had family members or something that has had to fully deal with this and how they did with it, because it's kind of worrying me.

I think there's lots of people in real life who have CKD.

If you're looking for people in the same boat to chat to, or support groups, then this website seems to have a number of links to different groups and pages.

I can't vouch for it, since I just pulled it from the web, but it might be of use to you.
