Actress and TV host Kris Aquino flew to Houston in the US to receive treatment for a rare health condition called Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA), a life-threatening disease that she was diagnosed with last April 2022.
According to the American Lung Association, “Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is an extremely rare form of vasculitis, characterized by inflammation within small blood vessels. This inflammation results in blood flow restriction, which can cause organ damage throughout the body if left untreated. EGPA is a serious, but treatable disease. Relapses can occur so it is important to maintain ongoing communication with your healthcare provider about management of this chronic disease.”
On Instagram, Kris shared a video update on her health as she bid everyone goodbye and thanked all those who are praying for her and expressing their love for the family.
“i’ll miss you- my friends & followers very much. Time is now my enemy, naghahabol kami hoping na wala pang permanent damage to the blood vessels leading to my heart.” said Kris.
