Reality television star and entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel, who is best known for her role in the Real Housewives of New York City and being the founder of Skinnygirl, has shared more about how she was diagnosed with stage 2 chronic kidney disease.
She mentioned in a video on social media how she tries her level best to be so proactive regarding her health by having her routine bloodwork done.
Recently, the star shared how she noticed her kidney function was consistently low, and that's when one specialist shared that the diagnosis was chronic kidney disease, stage 2, after evaluating her results.
Frankel shared that she was not sharing this update to keep everyone alarmed, but urged others to stay on top of their own health screenings and follow up on abnormal test results.
She noted that several factors might have led to this shocking diagnosis for her, including a very serious allergic reaction that she survived a few years back, autoimmune diseases, and past UTIs.
Her doctor said that hydration is crucial and advised her to drink a lot more water than she currently does.
