A member asked:

Could the loss of a kidney be a possible cause of cronic fatigue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chronic fatige: This is unlikely. Chronic fatigue has a whole lot of possibilities. Most peolpe do well with only one kidney ie kidney donors. Certailnly if your remaining kidney is failing and not working correctly this can cause fatigue with often swelling, sob and lab abnormalities. See your doctor.
