Abdee Slank and the Miracle of the Kidney

Slank fans are undoubtedly saddened by the news that Abdi Negara Nurdin, or Abdee, was compelled to stop performing on stage. The Slank guitarist, who lends the Slank songs a distinctive color, must concentrate on his ailing kidney. "I have attempted to live without dialysis or a transplant for the last four years, but it is difficult. I feel weak, nauseaous, and dizzy every day. My kidney illness has progressed", according to Abdee, as quoted by detikcom (17/3/2015). He had to visit doctors often throughout the time in order to get relief from his misery, including through alternative medicine, whatever that meant. He finally said, "I did need a transplant". The range of treatments decreases as the kidney disease becomes more severe and chronic. Two kidneys must be replaced if they are apparently not working.
