HiI am about to have a kidney removed due to a birth defect that has caused back pressure to damage the kidney.  I am 42 years old, I weigh 6 and half stone at the moment due to weight loss, Im usually around a stone heavier.  Will I be classed as disabled?
HelloThanks for query. You are detected to have non-functioning kidney due to mostly congenital PUB obstruction and headed for removal of kidney (Neurectomy). There are 1.8 % of general population having only one kidney from birth. The donor who donates his kidney or recipient who receives kidney during kidney transplant are both living normal life with only one kidney. In both the situations they are not declared to be disabled Do not worry having only one kidney does not make person disabled. Chat Doctor.
