Cori Broadus battles stage 3 lupus, and she’s opening up about the kidney biopsy that she recently had.
The procedure involves taking a piece of kidney tissue from a person’s body to be able to diagnose any problems with the kidney. Broadus, who is a singer and the only daughter of legendary rapper Snoop Dogg, gave fans updates through her Instagram.
She shared on her Instagram story: “I get a kidney biopsy today. I’m so scared. [The] last time I got one I was like 7/8.”
However, Broadus’ procedure was rescheduled due to her blood pressure being too high. When a new date for the biopsy was approved by a cardiologist, the 23-year-old expressed that the test had positive findings.
“[I] did it! Everything went well, have to stay for 6 hours to make sure no bleeding or anything.” Additionally, Broadus detailed that her kidneys are fine but inflamed.
The rising songstress’ biopsy is part of her struggle with lupus, a disease that is a result of your immune system attacking your tissues and organs.
In conclusion, she informed fans that her lupus is at stage 3 out of 5, signifying good news for her. “3 is mild but still active, I would have had to get chemotherapy if I was at 4.”
Also, she was told that her condition is still at a reversible stage. Now, Broadus will use a BENLYSTA treatment plan as recommended by doctors.
