Nollywood star Ufuoma McDermott recently opened up about her 12-year struggle with kidney disease and the heartbreaking loss of her younger brother to the same illness.
In a candid conversation with media personality Chude Jideonwu, Ufuoma shared that her health requires her to keep her weight in check. Last year, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 kidney disease, and her doctors urged her to slow down at work and prioritize rest. However, she admitted she initially pushed herself, thinking she had more time to manage her condition.
Her decision to keep going despite her doctors’ advice led to a swift progression to Stage 4. Reflecting on her brother’s experience, Ufuoma admitted that thoughts of mortality crossed her mind.
Remarkably, she managed to regain her health from Stage 4, which completely transformed her outlook and approach to life.
