Hey Y!A mods, can you put Alli back in where she belongs? It's okay with me if she keeps the #1 rank. ADDENDUM for ALLI: On the Y!A help boards, it seems there are a few people with the same problem. Y!A Team recommends not updating your profile for now till they can fix the glitches. Did you update your profile recently? That may be the reason.

15. What medical conditions, medications, or diseases can cause the kidneys to shrink?

The short answer: Most of the chronic kidney diseases will cause the kidneys to shrink. The long answer: Kidneys have two parts: the cortex on the outside (giving them the kidney bean shape) and the medulla on the inside. The cortex is where the filtering heads (called glomeruli) are located. Most of the chronic kidney diseases -- including renovascular disease caused by high blood pressure and glomerulonephritis (including things like FSGS, IgA nephritis, MPGN, lupus nephritis, etc) -- all cause the glomeruli to die. As they die, they shrink and become scar tissue. As a result, the cortex get thinner, and the kidney shrinks in size. However, there are two notable exceptions to the rule: diabetes and polycystic kidney disease. With diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease caused by diabetes), the kidneys often remain the same size as normal kidneys. With polycystic kidney disease, the kidneys become huge (due to all the cysts that form inside). Hope that helps.

16. what diseases and conditions can cats die from?

Well they certainly get cancer. I just had one put to sleep at the vets about an hour ago, due to that. Didn't even know she had it when I went in. Just knew she was losing weight and not very active. Turned out she was pretty far gone already, and the colon cancer she had, no treatment for it. Her sister died from feline breast cancer a few years ago. I had her about 16 years, since she was a kitten. Pretty depressing. You should look for things like changes in eating habits, loss of weight, vomiting, diarrhea. Take them to the vet if you're not sure about anything. It's sad when they go. You really get attached to them. But it does go with the territory.

17. Can heart conditions and/or diseases be passed on genetically?

Wow, that is something. I am sorry to report that I'm not a health professional and cannot offer information. But I would like to encourage you in what you already know - about exercising and diet. Whatever the doc suggests as far as exercising - make sure you do it because as you get older (I'm guessing your in your twenties or early thirties) our lovely bodies deteriorate and I learned the hard way that proper exercise will keep us from deteriorating as badly. Plus, I learned about diet and supplementation. You no doubt have to follow a special diet. I recommend you to also supplement. I personally use certain products that are AMAZING and would love to guide you to them if you're interested. As for your potential kids, the best you can do is pray, make healthy choices, have mommy nurse (it gives babies antibodies extra stuff no man made milk offers), start them early on eating healthy and LOW sugars. NO POP like I used to allow. It messes up the ph and puts strain on our systems. Fiber, Veges, and Fruits should always be number one and your kids should be quite fine! Prayer is most important. God bless!
