Key takeaway Caitlyn Campa was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease, specifically Alport syndrome, which impairs the kidney's ability to filter waste from blood.
An El Paso couple's life took a dramatic turn just months after their wedding. Caitlyn Campa was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease, specifically Alport syndrome, which impairs the kidney's ability to filter waste from blood. A kidney transplant was inevitable, and her husband Christian stepped forward to see if he could be a living donor.
The couple received good news when test results showed they were a match. The kidney transplant procedure took place at Las Palmas Medical Center on June 1. Caitlyn is now recovering and enjoying improved health, two months after the surgery and one year after her diagnosis.
Further details on their story are available from KVIA.
