RESUMEN
Las personas con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) en estado terminal ven el trasplante como esperanza de vida e independencia, les evita ir tres veces por semana a hemodiálisis o tener presente el horario para sus recambios. Describen este cambio como positivo, por tanto interesa comprender cómo vive esa transformación Kate, estudiante de último año de medicina a quien sorpresivamente le diagnostican ERC, el efecto que tiene este suceso en su confianza en la medicina occidental, que la lleva a buscar refugio en medicinas alternativas. El relato rememora la experiencia y evolución del tratamiento de Kate, cómo describe ella el cambio de vida, las implicaciones de ser paciente en las diferentes terapias de sustitución renal, sus experiencias antes, durante y después del trasplante y lo que este significa teniendo en cuenta que ella conoce los procedimientos y las posibles complicaciones
ABSTRACT
Kidney transplant means increased life expectancy and independence for people who suffer Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), since it prevents having to get dialysis three times a week or worrying about when to get replacements. This is why patients rate the change as positive. Based on this, it is relevant to understand how a last year medicine student, who was diagnosed with CKD, deals with this transformation as well as how it changes the way she sees traditional and alternative medicine. This biographical narrative shows Kate's experiences during her treatment, how she describes the changes in her life, the implications of being a patient during the different stages of kidney transplant. It also shows her experiences before, during and after the transplant, as well as what the process has meant for her. All of this is related taking into account her knowledge regarding the medical implications of the process
