In honor of National Kidney Month, SouthCoast Health nephrologist, Nizar Eskandar, MD, FACP, CMCM spoke to WSAV about his patient in need of a kidney donor. Tatyana Yani-Tyrell suffers from polycystic kidney disease, a genetic disorder that attacks the kidneys. Her condition worsened after she had COVID-19. Dr. Eskandar explained that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the rate and the availability of kidneys for transplantation decreased.
Dr. Eskandar also shared with the audience that this month is an important reminder for everyone to check-in on their kidney health, especially because most kidney disorders are largely asymptomatic early on.
