Whether you are newly diagnosed with kidney disease or have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) coping with the changes can be very stressful.
Some people are diagnosed before they have any symptoms and others in an emergency situation.
When diagnosed with an illness many patients feel overwhelmed with shock, grief and financial difficulties. It is not unusual to become depressed when you’re faced with an illness such as kidney disease. It’s important for you to have the support from your family and friends during this time.
Ask a lot of questions and read all you can about kidney disease. The more you educate yourself the better you’ll be able to care for yourself.
