PKD Kidneys Are Large

Team Teddy Bear: another picture

I have people ask me about my kidneys. I try to explain how big they are, which is surprising to most people because usually kidneys shrink when you have kidney disease. I've been complaining that even though I've been losing weight (only about 10 pounds so far), my tummy still sticks out - especially just after I eat. I think it's because my kidneys take up so much space, but I wonder sometimes if people just don't believe me. That's why I've linked to the above post to show how large polycystic kidneys can become.
