An Edinburgh man is hoping to push for a brighter future for kidney disease patients in Scotland, and falling ill without warning on holiday.
Jamie McGregor, 49, was on a family vacation in Paris with his wife and two children when he thought he’d picked up a cold or flu bug. He then spent two weeks in intensive care, with doctors informing him he was in complete renal failure.
After spending four years on dialysis, he received a life-saving kidney transplant in 2017. Now, Jamie's supporting Kidney Research UK and their ‘Ken Yer Kidneys’ campaign, which hopes to show Scotland’s policy makers there is an urgent need to prevent and treat kidney disease.
