Nephroschlerosis?

If the experience taught me anything: make sure you start doing an annual health checkup with bloodwork every year or two starting in your 20s. It is likely I could have avoided this.

I dont know the term, but by the time we found out there was so much bruising on the kidney, couldnt do a biopsy as it would cause bleeding and further delay the transplant. I didnt want any more delays so I opted out of it after discussing with my doctor.
