When most people hear of kidney failure, they assume it is a condition for older people who have diabetes and hypertension. Little do they know that kidney failure can affect even a newborn baby.

Josephine Mulwa, a mother of four from Kavilinguni Village in Kangundo Sub-County in Machakos County found herself nursing a newborn baby diagnosed with acute kidney injury a week after delivery.

She could not understand why her new baby was unable to pass urine and was looking so pale.
