Rachel Benton is a loving mother to an adorable 2-year-old boy named Stetson. Stetson doesn’t know it, but he may have already saved his mom’s life. A routine medical checkup, that Rachel only had because she was pregnant, showed protein in her urine. That discovery led to a biopsy and ultimately a diagnosis of IgA nephropathy – a serious kidney disease. With patients like Rachel in mind, the research team at Vertex Pharmaceuticals is working on new approaches to address IgA nephropathy.
