Richard,

First and most important is what kind of doctor you went to??? Was he or
she a Nephrologist?
As you know they are the ones that specialize with kidneys. If that doctor
is not then i urge
you to follow up with one.

>From what i know having a sever infection will most probably effect your
kidneys, but it is usually
reversible. A lot of antibiotics will also do the same.

In fact I know all about it because i had to have a kidney transplant but
not for the same reason.
Almost 29 years ago i had CML and subsequently a BMT which caused my to
undergo total body
radiation and huge amounts of chemotherapy. Then about twenty years later
my kidneys failed
and then for four years, dialysis then a kidney transplant.

Now mind you Richard this should not happen to you but for my own
circumstances it did happen
to me. Now guess what? I was just released from the hospital because of a
severe sepsis infection.

Because of my knowledge when some of the IV antibiotics were offered to me
one of which was
Vancomycin because of my condition. Don't get me wrong  Vancomycin is a
very good antibiotic
and i have used it many times, i even had to use it by myself during home
care and i would sit there
with an IV pole for a couple of hours under that home care nurse, but for
the most part i did it by myself.

Trust my i know what i am talking about and there are always some good
things and also some bad things
but the bottom line is that i am still alive and functional.

Hey, I have been through the "ringer" but then so have most of you as well,
and that bottom line also exists
for everyone that may be reading this.

You just have to know how to ask questions, try getting to the best doctors
that you can, and be an advocate
for yourself. You would really be surprised for yourself how it works.

I have spent many, many hours on this because i have an obligation that i
once made and i try living up to it.

Now have you wondered why i end my communications with 18's? Well now you
do, it is my obligation.

18's,

Marty
