El Jai Macoy’s New Book Are You Kidney(ing) Me

New York, NY, February 07, 2025 — Fulton Books author El Jai Macoy, a proud father who volunteers for the National Kidney Foundation, the American Kidney Fund, and Infinite Legacy, has completed his most recent book, “Are You Kidney(ing) Me: My Personal Experience with Kidney Disease”: an insightful discussion of the author’s personal journey with kidney disease, offering readers a look into what life as a patient of kidney disease is like.

“Approximately 10 percent of the world population and 15 percent of the US adult population are affected by chronic kidney disease,” writes Macoy. “Nine out of ten people with kidney disease are unaware they have it, and half of those with severely reduced kidney function but not yet on dialysis do not know they have kidney disease.

“Kidney disease is the fastest-growing noncommunicable disease in the US, usually with no signs or symptoms until the late stages and kills more people each year than breast or prostate cancer.

“In ‘Are You Kidney(ing) Me’, the odyssey of kidney disease is transformed into a journey of hope, joy, and the indomitable human spirit. Articulated through the voice of an actual patient, this account provides insight into the life of a kidney patient from prognosis to transplantation.”
