Can I sue for never being told I have kidney disease?
When logged into my account does it state this under the health conditions. I have no paperwork, brochures. Doctor has never discussed this with me. I found out by reviewing my blood test results. Of course I had to research on my own what each thing meant. What standard ranges are, etc. turns out if your GFR is lower then 60 for 3 months then you have kidney disease. I have has a GFR lower then 60 dor 2 1/2 years. Stage 3 kidney disease to be exact.

Whether or not you have a legal and factual basis to bring a medical malpractice action against your health care practioners is best addressed to an attorney who practices in the area of medical malpractice. I suggest that you consult with one and bring all of your paper work with respect to your kidney disease diagnosis which you apparently were not advised of.
