Cystic Fibrosis Week 💛
Although novel treatments for CF have changed treatment for many people with CF, some may still need lung or liver transplant to treat their disease, or indeed had transplants prior to these developments. #cfweek #cysticfibrosisweek #organdonation

Behind the statistics is a man called Adnan.
After sudden kidney failure, caused by IgA nephropathy, in 2013, a kidney transplant transformed his life. Sadly, after 12 years, that transplant is failing. Like many ethnic minority patients UK Adnan will likely face a longer wait.

With long-term kidney failure I’ve had 3 transplants – from my mum, dad and aunt. It’s been a gradual journey to have more energy and gain more normality and independence.
