How undiagnosed kidney reflux led to kidney failure: Noël’s kidney warrior story
What happens when a childhood kidney condition goes undiagnosed? Dee speaks with Noël, who was born with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), also known as kidney reflux. Although she experienced repeated urinary tract infections throughout childhood, her condition wasn’t diagnosed until she was seven years old. By then, permanent kidney damage had already occurred, leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Dee and Noël discuss the impact of childhood kidney disease and the importance of early diagnosis.
