Lopez's publicist said he suffers from a genetic disorder that caused his kidney to deteriorate, but did not elaborate.

Lopez is expected to be well enough to hit the publicity circuit for his upcoming movie, Dimension Films' "The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D." The Robert Rodriguez-helmed feature is due in theaters June 10.
