Renee Gall, a resident of Maryland was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney disease in 2009. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a disorder that affects the kidneys and other organs. Clusters of fluid-filled sacs, called cysts, develop in the kidneys and interfere with their ability to filter waste products from the blood. The growth of cysts causes the kidneys to become enlarged and can lead to kidney failure. The disease is genetic. Gall’s mother also had the disease. After diagnosis, her life was not much different till 2019, only thing was, she had to be on dialysis to keep her kidneys up. Until one day, all of a sudden her kidneys stopped working, they were filled with cysts, causing the left kidney to weigh 13 pounds and the right to weigh 10 pounds. Where a normal kidney weighs about 0.25 pounds. Her kidneys had to be removed and kept her on hemodialysis three times a week for three and half hours a day. Gall is on a fluid restriction of 32 ounces a day, due to her dialysis.
