Question: Hi, I am 24 year old female. I recently discovered from having a very bad kidney infection that only one of my kidneys is fully functioning. The kidney that got infected is small, scarred and only working at 10%. My tests are still on going as it is suspected i have had this all my life and by being hospitalised it was discovered. Following on from this today i suffered what I call the shakes, roasting hot, pukie feeling that I have to sit down with or i feel i would fall over. This my doctor hold me in the past is hypoglycaemia that I used to suffer quite a bit but had forgotten as I haven't suffered it in quite a while! So this us the first incidence since I learnt about my kidney. I am wondering if there is a connection of the two? My attacks are very very short lived as I have learnt a few takes of an energy drink and althou for a while after I feel the affects I am as good as new. Thank you, XXXX

Hi, Thank you. I did just start a vew job and although I cannot say I feel under great stress I do tend to feel ill ir get headaches rather than become feeling stressed so I believe that is true that it is stress related. Just on the last piece of info are you saying that the symptoms I discussed tat I believe to be hypoglycaemia are the same symptoms of increase urea in blood? Just if so I must get bloods checked as I do not want to be back with kidney infection, Thank you, XXXX
