On the site, Iggy described his experience with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease as such: &#8220;I have a disease that requires a living kidney donor. There are no other viable options for me. I have only a few months before I will need to have this surgery before getting extremely sick and dying.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[ADPKD] causes my kidneys to have cysts grow all over them and make them massive in size. As they do so, the kidneys grow less and less in function. Think like the chest buster in Alien, except it\u2019s not an alien baby and we don\u2019t anticipate it coming to theatres this fall,&#8221; his site reads. &#8220;My doctors and the transplant doctors strongly recommend a living donor for the best outcome and it\u2019s the only viable option, as the rest drastically reduce life expectancy or I just die.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:2ll2usj2jrbrlzflw4unt3s4\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3m4ehzvq5l223\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreifdglragkl4vbjlyewcpzlglagrhnc3wmxi4rmhq4hoxu5jlbjxgi\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Hi folks, this is again a plea for help.

He added that prohibitive costs shouldn&#8217;t fall on a prospective donor, and that he&#8217;s happy to field any questions: &#8220;I cannot stress enough, the clinic wants you to be fully informed and assure it\u2019s safe for you to donate.
