Coping and support
By Mayo Clinic staffBecause living with chronic glomerulonephritis and chronic kidney failure can tax your emotional resources, you might benefit from joining a support group. Such a group can provide both sympathetic listening and useful information. To find out about support groups in your area that deal with kidney disease, ask your doctor or contact the National Kidney Foundation to find the chapter nearest you.
