Sans ma greffe de rein a 14 ans, je n'aurai jamais pu finir l'école et les études à la fac ou bien encore les années de plaisir sur mes skis. La greffe assure un retour beaucoup plus proche à la normale, la croissance, la liberté de se déplacer et bien plus. Ça change tout. Merci aux donneurs.

Je suis une jeune femme greffée d’un rein.
Je ne suis plus dialysée.
Je vis à nouveau, je suis reconnaissante.

As someone who provides a patient voice on three kidney committees, I applaud efforts to include me and other patients.

More than that, I encourage everyone in Nephrology to be fearless in pursuing ground breaking ideas to create an awe inspiring future.

Il y a trois ans aujourd'hui, j'ai reçu ma deuxième greffe de rein. Je tiens à exprimer ma profonde gratitude à mon donneur et à sa famille pour leur générosité et leur altruisme incroyables, et également mes plus grands remerciements à toute l'équipe médicale et soignants #reconnaissance #donorgane
