Popular actress, Ufuoma McDermott has revealed to Nigerians how she battled chronic kidney disease for 12years.

The movie star disclosed this in an interview recently.

She said: “My weight, people do not understand when I say I cannot afford to put on weight, I do not want to die. I have little children. I had pushed my body and it was borderline stage 4.”

“Last year was a very trying time in my life where I thought I was going to die. I have battled chronic kidney for a while, for about 12 years now. I was negotiating with the doctor, she said ‘I need you to go home and rest’.”

“But I was like ‘What if I go home? I promise you I will sleep today, before I leave tomorrow’. She said, ‘Ufuoma I need you to sleep now, if you can take tabs and just sleep. I need you to rest, I need your blood pressure to drop’.”

“She mixed up my medications for me, long and short is that I went back on set.”
