Today was your first appointment in the POD, Crumlin in Fergal Quinns renal clinic. This was my first recollection of meeting Fergal and he was so nice to us. We discussed your condition and progress with him and he filled us in on what options we have to fix your problem.
Your kidney diagnosis was multicystic dysplastic kidney and right pelviureteric junction obstruction, in english this meant your left kidney was almost non existent consisting of just cysts which would disolve over time and your right kidney had an obstruction at the tube connecting the bladder to the kidney. Well this is what i understood it to be anyway. Fergal said the best way to resolve the abstruction would be kidney repair surgery but due to your underlying heart condition a temporary stint would be a better option at this time. A kidney stent (ureteric stent) is a plastic tube-like device used for internal drainage between your kidney and your bladder. When you've had your OHS they'll consider repairing the kidney, so that was the plan of action and Fergal's team will be in contact soon to let us know when the stent procedure will take place. We were dreading the thoughts of u having to go for this procedure but if it helped then let them work away to make you feel better when yer piddling ;-)
