A member asked:
I have a kidney failure, will there be complications with legionnaires' disease?

Possibly: Kidney failure is one complication of untreated or severe legionnaire's disease. However, people with kidney failure are more susceptible to get this disease due to lowered immunity and co-morbid conditions. Not everyone with kidney disease will get it though.
