My kidney disease appears to be caused by Hypotension, (Chronic low Blood Pressure ), rather than Hypertension. Diagnosed about 7 years ago. Fortunate to have transplant through Yale and New England Paired Kidney Exchange, (NEPKE), with a paired donor. Although I could not be a recepient , my donor contributed to paired exchange. We "paired" with folks from Johns Hopkins. Fortunate that I did not have to go on dialysis and everything moved along quickly. Pre-existing conditions, two ruptured diverticulous, (08/92, 04/08), have left me with ostomy.
