Merita’s Story: 20% Kidney Function

Merita’s Story is a first-hand account of a long journey through chronic kidney disease, a low-protein diet, dialysis, and ultimately kidney transplantation. It is a personal testimony that highlights the patient’s determination, the relationship of trust with physicians and healthcare professionals, and the role of nutrition throughout the care pathway. Enriched by the authors’ comments, the story aims to offer encouragement and raise awareness among other patients and their families, with particular attention to younger people.
