Athletes with chronic kidney disease?How much of a hindrance would a chronic kidney disease causing glomerulonephritis be to an athletes conditioning. Assuming its a relatively young athlete and still has 90% kidney function...and what part of conditioning would it affect if any

It really depends on the type of glomerulonephritis that you have - there are many different types. Having 90% kidney function suggests that the kidney function on its own would have no effect.
I would suggest keep training normally, and worry about its effects on training and performance if it becomes an issue.

Glomerulonephritis is basically inflammation of the kidneys' glomeruli. This is one of the main causes of chronic kidney failure. With 90% kidney function it should not affect conditioning (depending on the type of sport). But it is important to work with your doctor to monitor kidney function regularly and follow good dietary plan. If necessary work with a dietitian.
