Graeme Smith, 40, was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy after a family trip to Salou.

Graeme Smith, 40, was diagnosed with kidney disease IgA nephropathy in 2017 after a family trip to Salou. The dad-of-four, from Blantyre in Lanarkshire, arrived home feeling unwell and suffered extreme swelling in his legs. Following a trip to A&E, doctors found his blood pressure to be dangerously high, resulting in tests which led to his diagnosis.

"Graeme is due to undergo surgery over the summer to help this, but coming off dialysis entirely would be the best outcome for his overall health." Graeme and Julie share four young sons together and he worries how this will affect their time as a family. Graeme's sudden diagnosis has taken a toll on the family as it consumes his everyday life. He described himself as "hardworking" and was previously a supervisor in a factory, before being hit by the crippling condition.
