Someone wrote something really mean here, so I erased it! I'm still discovering the consequences of having 3 kidneys.
My family has a history of extra organs. They all live very long and full lives (many over 100 years!). Some of my friends that know my condition call me "Klingon" because of the star treck reference to "Worf's" extra organs. I think it's funny and their jealous. I should have died after an appendix blew, I didn't.
If your kidneys all have the adrenal glands that sit on top as well, make sure you have an adrenal test. It's not simple, but it can explain many symptoms caused by adrenal troubles. Most doctors miss it. Mine mised it for ten years. Some doctor's grades are public knowledge if you know where to look. Don't go to a doctor who only "passed" his/her exams. Go to a Doctor Who is curious and wants to help you.

What can you tell me about hemodialysis?
In medicine, hemodialysis is a method that is used to achieve the extracorporeal removal of waste products such ascreatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of renal failure.

An alternative method for extracorporeal separation of blood components such as plasma or cells is apheresis.
