Michelle

New treatment recommendations dramatically improve health

Michelle was just about to start university when she was diagnosed with a rare and very serious disorder. She was soon in intensive care for symptoms that included kidney failure, anaemia, dangerously high blood pressure and loss of vision. Back at home, her condition remained potentially life threatening.

Michelle’s mother, Susan, was desperate to know how she could help her daughter more and sought help from Best Doctors.  Best Doctors subsequently contacted an internationally renowned nephrologist, who concluded that the way Michelle’s body was reacting to her condition was unusual. The expert provided Susan with specific treatment alternatives that she could discuss with Michelle’s treating doctors with confidence.

Since starting on her new treatment, Michelle has seen a dramatic improvement to her health. Susan finally sees her daughter looking forward to going back to university and getting on with her life.
