Hi, I’m Ariana Barton! I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune kidney disease called IgA Nephropathy in September 2022. Since my diagnosis, I’ve been working hard to promote patient education and treatment access. I am a certified Community Health Worker and Kidney Health Coach, and I work with numerous patient organizations and drug manufacturers to share my story and my perspective on the issues faced by people with IgAN and CKD.

Life With IgAN is about my personal experience living with IgA Nephropathy, an autoimmune disease that affects kidney health.

I am not a medical professional and nothing written on this website should be taken as medical advice.
