Episode 147
Dee is joined by Louise, who was diagnosed with kidney disease when she was pregnant in her early 20s. She discusses experiencing pregnancy complications and baby loss. She also shares her experience of living abroad with only 22% kidney function and receiving her life-changing kidney transplant.
