Akwasi Kardashian suffers from kidney failure

During an interview with popular Ghanaian blogger Sammykaymedia, Akwasi Kardashian broke down into tears as he tried to put his plight before Ghanaians.

The Ghanaian supermodel was in bed throughout the interview with his body connected to a dialysis machine at the Hope Medical Centre. In tears, he said he needed GH¢700,000 in order to undergo a kidney transplant.

Narrating how he found out he had kidney failure he said that he had been suffering from high blood pressure for about five years. However, in 2023, he started to feel strange because anytime he ate, he would throw up.

So he was referred to the Ridge hospital, where he was admitted into the emergency ward after several tests. It was where doctors diagnosed him with kidney disease.

A medical professional at the dialysis facility at the medical centre disclosed that one could spend between GH¢15,000 and GH¢20,000 on dialysis.
