[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1467474, member: 221545"] I cannot imagine that this has been caused by diabetes...unless you are saying their are complications with the actual function of your kidneys. How small is small? I had a transplant two years ago (unrelated to diabetes) and now have my younger sister's tiny kidney inside doing just fine. My own kidney function went from poor to zero because of an inherited conditions resulting in my kidneys being far to large. My kidney function now - on one little kidney - is about 45%....the human body can operate sufficiently on one kidney with less than 35% function or lower. if your kidneys are healthy - being small means nothing. If they are small because they are dehydrated, that is another matter. Ask about your kidney function. [/QUOTE]
