![Nikki Love-McIntyre, of Swansea, Ill., on Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2021, at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital in St. Louis, Mo. Love-McIntyre, who has worked at the hospital for nearly 8 years, had a double kidney transplant completed in October 2015 after being diagnosed with end-stage renal disease –– the failure of her kidneys –– as a complication of Type 1 Diabetes. “It was just terrifying,” she said of the diagnosis while emphasizing the need to listen to your body. “If something is going on, it’s going on for a reason. Don’t not go to the doctor or think it’ll go away or [say] I’ll go if it gets worse.”](https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/7ca33b3/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4486x2499+0+0/resize/280x156!/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F2c%2F00%2F019cf95b463fbc58fc4ec1e2d6f5%2F10012021-bm-kidney-disparity-5.jpg)
