A member asked:

I recently found out i have genital herpes but i also have kidney failure. what can i expect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unrelated: The kidney failure is unrelated and needs assessment. If your kidney function is more than 60% not you likely are ok. If less, given your age, it needs evaluation. The genital herpes is unrelated, but treatment doses will need to be adjusted for degree of kidney function to avoid kidney injury from the meds.
