Krowbar said his wife Wanjiru Karumba had been diagnosed with acute kidney Injury, a diagnosis that has drained the family as she has to be on dialysis. 

Taking to his socials, Krowbar shared a photo of his wife in hospital, saying she was diagnosed in April.

"This means her kidneys are functioning below 15 per cent, and we began a journey that took many weeks for us to accept the sad reality: dialysis," he wrote.

"If we hadn’t gone to the hospital the day we went, today would have been a different story.

"So, for the last seven months, we have followed the instructions from medical practitioners as we faith the rest of this journey."

He added that the waiting journey has not been easy, further asking his fans to pray for his wife.

He hoped that their resilience will be a testimony for many others.

Acute kidney injury is when your kidneys suddenly stop working properly.
