What was the cause of your nephrotic syndrome? I read elsewhere that your hematocrit is back up, good to hear! Is that with help from exogenous erythropoetin? How are your albumen levels and do you need supplemental albumen?

Oh man, poststrep glomerulonephritis into nephrosis, this fragile body we have :/ When did you or your parents first notice that things were wrong after your strep throat? So good to hear the EPO and iron has worked wonders for you! I also saw elsewhere that you're taking sevelamer, how are your other electrolytes, and have you ever had any symptoms of hyperkalemia, particularly in your heart?

Thanks for doing this. Some of the most memorable and moving experiences in med school occurred when patients would visit with us after lecture and field our questions. Best of luck to you, remain strong and vigilant!
