Jade's story
More needs to be done so stories like Jade’s are never repeated
Having a newborn son should have been the happiest time for Jade and her family. However two months after giving birth, Jade was admitted to hospital, and never returned home. It all started when Jade woke up with yellow eyes. She visited the doctors, and was sent for blood tests but no further action was taken.
Ten days later, her feet began to swell. Again, she went to her doctor, and this time was admitted to hospital.
But it was too late. Two weeks later, Jade died.
Jade had been suffering from Autoimmune Hepatitis. A condition which had gone undiagnosed for too long. She left behind her newborn baby, and two-year-old son. She was only 27.
For 75% of liver patients, by the time you’re diagnosed, it is too late for effective treatment. More needs to be done so stories like Jade’s are never repeated.
