(BPT) - Para David R., de 36 años y residente de Austin (Texas), la enfermedad renal fue algo que nunca esperó. Después de meses de sentir cansancio, náuseas y calambres en las manos y los pies, coordinó una cita con su médico para hablar sobre su salud. Sin embargo, apenas dos dÃas antes de su cita, el dolor se trasladó al abdomen, por lo que lo trasladaron de inmediato a la sala de emergencias.
"Pensé que estaba deshidratado", recuerda David. "Sin embargo, los médicos dijeron que tenÃa insuficiencia renal en fase 5".
