Gabi has been a CKD patient her whole life. She was born with a kink in her ureters which caused one kidney to not form and the other to form partially. She was able to live the first two years of her life with the partial function before she went on dialysis. A month before her fifth birthday she received a living donor kidney from her father. Her father’s kidney lasted over a decade before she went back on dialysis abruptly in 2015. After doing all possible modalities of dialysis Gabi finally recieved her 2nd gift of life from a deceased donor 8.5 years later. She hopes to take this 2nd chance to help encourage & advocate for others just starting their CKD journey. SEEYA NeXt time!
