Former Adentan MP Kojo Adu Asare has cautioned patients against relying on unverified herbal remedies for kidney-related illnesses, warning that such practices could worsen health conditions.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosiisen, he recounted his difficult experience living with end-stage renal disease and revealed that he once survived a frightening health emergency during treatment.
According to him, about three years ago, he suffered a severe drop in blood pressure after a dialysis session and collapsed at home.
“I fractured my hip. My BP dropped and that was it. I went off. My house help was the one who saved me,” he recalled.
The incident left him with a hip fracture and forced him to rely on a full-time driver due to the physical strain and weakness associated with dialysis treatment.
He urged patients to seek proper medical attention rather than depending on unproven treatments.
“Once it gets to Stage Four, you are at end-stage. There is no way to reverse it. You should seek proper medical care instead of relying on concoctions,” he advised.
Despite the challenges, Mr Adu Asare said he continues to stay active and maintain a positive outlook on life.
