A Turning Point: A Kidney Diagnosis Leads to a Path Toward Healing
“Learning I had kidney disease was a big turning point,” Nobert Mike remembers.
Nobert shares that he had a hard life growing up: “I lost a lot of good people, lost a lot of good things in my life.” He, like many other people he knows living on Navajo Nation, struggled with alcohol addiction. Eventually, his experience with addiction led to health complications.
He was in the hospital for a week when test results confirmed his diagnosis, stage 3 kidney disease that had developed from undiagnosed IgA nephropathy.
