Hopefully your son’s kidneys will recover. I remember a chap who came into hospital with damaged kidneys following food poisoning. His kidneys recovered after a few days, so all is not lost. Kidney failure isn’t as catastrophic as it once was. It’s all about creatinine levels. You can manage with as little as 18-20% kidney function. If the worst happens there are still options. In my case, the docs were talking about a ‘pre-emptive’ transplant, but I went over a cliff all at once so I had to go on dialysis instead (thank you, Herr Kolff, for keeping me alive!) until I received a transplant a few years later. But that’s a worst case scenario which, in all probability, you won’t even have to consider.
Best wishes,
