Base sa sabi niyo, hindi gumagana ng maayos ang atay nya? Nahihirapan ako mag-decide kasi di ko alam kung ano health problem. Pero tingin ko makikita pa rin with appropriate blood test. With dialysis naman, may mga simptoma na makikita ang mga titingin sa kanya na doctor. Mahirap kung itatago at nakita pala sa test.
As to yung tanong niyo po kung ano mangyayari if babalik sakit nya dito sa Oz na?. Malalaman at malalaman ng mga manggagamot yan kung pre-existing or chronic health condition. Pero hindi naman yata kayo tatanggalan ng visa kung granted na at andito na kayo.
Goodluck po,

Ang isang impact pagdating dito sa Au, at bumalik sakit nya, sa tingin ko eh dun sa medical insurance, makikita nila pre-existing nga ung condition.. Opinion ko lng po ito..

the best thing is declare it in your medical exam (if you decided to proceed with the applicaiton).
masasabi nating strict ang AU sa mga ganyang cases pero hindi naman nila i dedeny agad-agad yan.. meron review process on how to determine kung magiging burden ba sa overall medical system ng AU ang case nyo...
they call it Net Benefit Approach, chine-check nila kung if ever magkano ba ang magiging cost ng gamutan nyo versus anu ba ang contribution ng famly nyo sa Australia...
so malaking factor kung skilled kayo pareho at may posibilidad na mag work..
kung kailangan ba ng mahabang gamutan/hospitalization or mga tipong check-up lang..
marami pong factors na i-coconsider... if you can search sa google kung may mga parehong cases kayo at kung na bigyan ba sila ng visa..
it's a big risk.. but we will never know unless we try..
goodluck po..

But I feel that there will be questions about his dialysis. Gusto ko po kayo bigyan ng honest opinion pero mahirap din for me. Ang pinaka tanong na umiikot sa utak ko ngayon, ano ang status ng kidney nya at kailangan ng tulong ng dialysis. Normally po hindi kailangan ng dialysis kahit chemotherapy pa. The thing is, kung ako nga madami na tanong, I am pre-supposing lalo ang MOC na may guidelines na sinusunod.
So suggestion ko po, get all medical clearance as possible and give it a shot. Hindi natin malalaman until we try. If it's willed, it will happen.

Katatapos lang namin medical today. Sabi sa pulmonary evaluation may nakita daw abnormalities sa lungs ko at possible TB. Buti dala ko mga previous X-rays ko. Sabi ng doctor its up to the MOC daw kung okay yung ipapasa ng SLEC na result or require ako na mag further test and medication kung maconfirm na TB or idedeny kami ng visa.
Though nababasa ko naman na nagbibigay naman ang mga MOC ng chance for medication for positive TB, nakakapanghina kasi ng loob yung doctor na kumausap samin.
Meron ba dito naka experience na may condition na mag undergo muna ng medication before they decide on the visa application?
Salamat po ng marami. Nalulungkot talaga ako.
Moving on...
God has bigger plans for me than what I have for myself...

From 2002 till present, all kidney function tests are normal (KUB ultrasound, Crea, BUN), BP normal. Progression is slow (thank God).
Proteinuria was well managed with maintenance drug.
Can someone enlighten me or had the same case of mine, what might be the approval chance? Though it wouldnt be burden to AU's medical services, i'm still worried.
I have all medical records and med certificate.
we're keeping our hopes high and counting on Him.

IgA nephropathy is generally manageable. If you have good BP control, normal cholesterol and normal kidney functions, I'd say your chances are good, presupposing all other visa requirements are met. Suggest to maintain healthy living so as not to "work" your kidney too much, and check kidney functions regularly.
Goodluck!
