Rebecca said her father has had kidney disease for many years now. While there are many types of kidney disease, he has IgA, or Berger’s disease. According to the Mayo Clinic’s website, IgA nephropathy is a kidney disease that occurs when an antibody called immunoglobulin A (IgA) lodges in the kidneys.
“The best way to describe the instant difference in me is that within 24 hours I felt like a cloud was lifted off of me,” Mike said. “As soon as my body accepted the new kidney, it began to rid itself of all the built up toxins from non functioning kidneys. I had been heavily medicated for years and my blood pressure was always extremely high.”
Today, Mike takes almost no medicine for blood pressure and his blood pressure numbers are in the normal range, a number more than 120 over 80 and less than 140 over 90.
This is a great story, so SHARE to spread awareness of how amazing a person Rebecca is!
