Australian Cricketer Suffering From Irreversible Kidney Disease
Cameron Green
Australian cricketer Cameron Green revealed that he has been playing despite of having a chronic kidney disease all his life.
Cameron Green suffers from an irreversible kidney disease since childhood and all he can do about it is to try and slow it's progression.
“My parents got told when I was born that I had chronic kidney disease, basically, there are no symptoms. It just got picked up from the ultrasound. Kidneys can’t get better. It’s irreversible. So any way you can find to slow the progression, you basically try and do,” said Green.
Cameron Green's father was told that the Australian all-rounder won't live beyond the age of 12 years at that time.
“At the time it was uncharted territory as such; the prognosis wasn’t great. There were life-expectancy issues that he might not expect to live past 12 years of age,” said Green’s father.
Green has not been selected in the Australia squad which are facing Pakistan in a 3-match Test series down under.
