Why does Patrice need a kidney?

Hi bloggers, the question is why does Patrice need a kidney?   My life depends on this kidney transplant because of end-stage renal disease the name for kidney failure so advanced that it cannot be reversed. The word " renal" is another word for kidney.   A  kidneys in end-stage renal disease function so poorly that they can no longer keep you alive. End-stage renal disease cannot be treated with conventional medical treatments such as drugs. Only 2 treatments allow you to continue living when your kidneys stop functioning: dialysis and kidney transplantation. Most people on dialysis last about 3 to 5 years that's if  you're lucky. Being on dialysis is a very hard life especially if you are a mother with four children to take care of.
