Katie Brown has Alport syndrome, diagnosed at age 5, causing hearing loss and chronic kidney damage. She received a kidney transplant in 2023 after reaching 4% kidney function on dialysis in 2021. The transplant initially restored her health, allowing her to work as a special education teacher. However, her immune system is now attacking the transplanted kidney, causing function to decline again. She faces difficult choices: immune suppression, potential second transplant, or return to dialysis.
