Kidney problems

Posted this on the medical and health forum, but thought i would post here as well, just in case people who can answer don't frequent there that often.

A week or so ago, I had some problems that prompted me to head to the local A&E. After several hours i was admitted for further tests.Three days later, I was released with a diagnosis of Glomerulonephritis, probably IgA Nephritis, but to be confirmed via a bloody large needle into the kidneys in a few weeks.

Now, I had planned to get back inot flying this year after a break of several years and have been doing some homework as to how this would affect those plans. I see in the CASA DAME handbook, that they will "usually certify" pilots with this condition, but it does not specify if this is Class 1 or 2. Any CPLs or ATPLs out there with this condition? Any experiences to relate?

Cheers, and thanks in advance.
