Young Scottish mum with rare kidney failure terrified her kids will be orphaned

A terrified young Scottish mum has spoken of her fear of her children being orphaned after she was diagnosed with complete kidney failure in January.

Kerry Brown has issued an appeal for people to become live kidney donors after she has been left with just four per cent kidney function due to the extremely rare autoimmune disease called Goodpasture syndrome.

Kerry, from Fife, now says her fear is that her kids end up being orphans as she is undergoing three four-hour sessions of dialysis a week just to keep her alive. The 36-year-old is praying a donor will arise for the sake of her three children.
