Meet Kelli Sewell
Participant of Kidney PATH and Peer Mentor!
Kelli was diagnosed with kidney disease at age 39, a result of having both diabetes and hypertension in her 20s. Neither disease was controlled while she was busy working and raising her children. She also had no symptoms warning her that her kidneys were failing, a common issue with kidney disease. See how Kelli took her health into her own hands by contacting the NKFM’s Patient Services department and participating in NKFM programs.
