New Mom's Unexpected Diagnosis Sparks Concern for Her Daughters

A Nebraska mom's postpartum health scare led to the discovery of a chronic genetic condition she never knew she had.

Bethany Worthey-Williams, 24, shared images from the CT scan that ultimately revealed she had autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), an inherited condition that causes fluid-filled cysts to grow in the kidneys over time.

The diagnosis came just weeks after she gave birth.
