For example, you have to be extremely careful about eating uncooked food, eating outside etc.<BR/><BR/>Of course, you can drink all the fluid you ever wanted, provided it is from a trusted source.<BR/><BR/>-KamalKamal Shahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10671037449347982821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-53050648166439379072009-03-12T00:13:00.000+05:302009-03-12T00:13:00.000+05:30Amazing. 27 years !!!

I thought that was the key advantage of transplant over dialysis (not that we can eat any junk...but in general).IGA Nephropathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15919161711858290087noreply@blogger.com
