Australia’s young all-rounder Cameron Green suffering from chronic kidney disease
Australia’s young all-rounder Cameron Green has revealed that he’s been carrying chronic kidney disease. Green was diagnosed when he was born. There was a chance at one stage that he had the life expectancy of age 12.
“My parents got told when I was born that I had chronic kidney disease. Basically there were no symptoms, just got picked up through ultrasounds,” Green told Channel 7.
“Chronic Kidney disease is basically a progressive disease of your kidney’s health function. Unfortunately, mine doesn’t filter the blood as well as other kidneys. So they’re about at 60% now which is stage 2.”
Green has been playing consistently for Australia across all three formats of the game as he has been one of the mainstays for the team in all formats. Green is also in Australia’s Test squad for the ongoing three-match Test series against Pakistan. Recently, Cameron Green was also part of Australia team that won the ODI World Cup in India.
“I consider myself very lucky that I’m not as affected physically by chronic kidney disease as other people that have the same thing," Green said.
“With chronic kidney disease there’s five stages, with stage one being the least severe, and stage five being transplant or dialysis. Fortunately, I'm stage two, but if you don't look after them enough, it goes back down,” he said.
“Kidneys can’t get better. It’s irreversible. So anything you can do to slow the progression, you basically try and do.”
