    Hello @mellissahicking2019 Can you tell me if you were diagnosed with Polycystic kidney disease ? I still can't get my head round that you are now at stage 4 end stage kidney failure and your kidney function is 4% and have not yet had Fistula inserted in place for preparation for dialysis, From what I have been made aware of is that Renal consultants would not let patients under their care go below 6% before starting dialysis and still maintain that stage 4 is between 30% and 15% . you can survive with only one working kidney as what happens when you receive donor transplant as your own existing kidneys have failed and can't function properly to remove waste from body...

    As I said previously you will have problems such as constant tiredness  swollen ankles loss of appetite leg cramps light headedness from high blood pressure and all of theses plus more will affect you with daily living activities and mobility, So do apply for PIP but do remember know two people with same condition are affected the same, but do try and gather evidence from Renal consultants that will support your claim... good luck.
