Written for the soon-to-be and dialysis patient for knowledge in reference to Chronic Kidney Disease (“CKD”), Bloodlines Connected relates a story about a young healthy boy who confronts the disease at the age of 23. While different therapies can resolve the issue, he chose a transplant.

“CKD is the ninth leading cause of death in the world today,” says Rivera. “Even though no new revolution has come about in the dialysis world since 1989 when EPO was first available, new discoveries will be known in the early future.”

Bloodlines Connected is likely to appeal to those with oncoming CKD and those who are on dialysis or are waiting for a transplant. Readers will acquire knowledge as to their condition and will readily know how to deal with their situation.

Alfredo Rivera was raised in an evangelical family, and chose to serve the Lord. He graduated from high school with excellence in Spanish (four years), attended Bible Seminary (four years), and two years at West Coast Christian College. He actively participates in his local church.
