Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i must assure you that a kidney biopsy is done, to find out the cause of kidney failure. According to the report, specific treatment will be started. It may prevent further deterioration in your kidney function, and may help in reverting the failure also. Your age and other medication isn't mentioned. With kidney failure, your blood level(hemoglobin), may be low,causing fatigue. Back pain isn't caused by kidney failure. If you've any doubts, you may contact me directly, on this site.
