Excerpt from that episode beginning 5 minutes
26 seconds into the episode:

Nurse: "Rashida Flowers, 34, chronic kidney
disease secondary to diabetes, admitted for
dialysis access insertion after a thrombosed
AV fistula."

Rashida (talking to her phone): "After 2 failed
grafts, I'm back in the hospital, y'all. Have to
have another procedure. But guess what? My
new doctor is a brother. Mm! And he fly. [she
laughs] Say hi, Dr. Ndugu!"

Dr. Ndugu: "Hey. Do you mind not recording
so I can examine you?"

Rashida: "Oh right, of course. Gotta go, y'all.
Kisses [smooches]. Sorry. Gotta keep my
followers happy. I used to be a travel influ-
encer, ventured around the world, but now
I'm DiabeticBae, which is way less exciting,
so I gotta get content where I can."

Dr. Ndugu: "Well, today won't be too exciting,
I'm afraid. I'll be inserting a catheter into your
chest to help you start dialysis. How long have
you been diabetic?"

Rashida: "Years now. But I was able to manage
it until I was visiting Thailand, living my best
life, and I get real sick. Hit my kidneys hard.
And every time my doctors tried to get access
for dialysis, my body wouldn't cooperate be-
cause -- plot twist -- I have a clotting disorder."

But none of this is a shock. Both my mother
and brother were diabetic, and they both died
from kidney failure."

Dr. Ndugu: "Sorry to hear that."

Nurse: "Were they able to get kidney transplants?"

Rashida: "They weren't even able to get on the
list. And neither am I."

Dr. Ndugu: "You're not on the transplant list?"

Rashida: "Nope."

Dr. Ndugu: "Ortiz [the nurse's name], set me up
a consult with Rashida's nephrologist, Dr. Krause."

Rashida: "Look, I know it's bad. But it's okay. That's
really why I record everything. I want the world to
know who I am before this disease ends me."

- - - end scene - - -

Rashida has an unrevealed Disparate High Glucose
Condition (DHGC), unknown what medication (if any)
she uses to deal with. When asked how long she has
had it, she replied "Years now", so since she's 34, one
can only guess how long she's had it.

Her, her mother, and her brother got unspecified DHGCs,
her mother & brother dying from kidney failure. Rashida
also has kidney failure.

Whatever DHGCs all 3 of her family members has/had,
impossible to tell 'cause there was no mention of any
medication, & the words used to describe their condi-
tions were

-diabetes
-diabeticBae (some custom word Rashida used)
-diabetic
-diabetic
-this disease (may have been referring to kidney failure
or to the DHGC which was not clarified in that scene
which lasted almost a minute and a half)

As I continue watching this episode, I'll clarify the spe-
cific type of Disparate High Glucose Conditions that
Rashida, her mother, & her brother have/had -if- any
clarifying comments are made as the episode contin-
ues.

Sidenote: I suspect that the overwhelming majority of
individuals with any of the 7 DHGCs knows how old
they were when the got it, but hey, since Cellosis (new
superior clarifying word for type 2 diabetes) is typic-
ally slow onset over many years, that may be why ...

... Rashida didn't say when she got her DHGC which
the writers of this particular episode decided to keep
secret & ignoring all the unique characteristics of each
of the 7 Disparate High Glucose Conditions. See links
in sig for complete details on those.

Dr. Ndugu: "Ortiz [the nurse's name], set me up
a consult with Rashida's nephrologist, Dr. Krause."

Consult starting 15 minutes 17 seconds into
the episode, still no mention of which DHGCs
Rashida, her mom, & her brother has/had, just
a discussion regarding Rashida qualifying for
or not qualifying for a kidney transplant:

Dr. Krause says Rashida doesn't qualify for a
kidney transplant because her "eGFR is high.
It's over 20 ..." The following article tell us we
don't know what stage Rashida's kidney is at
as eGFR over 20 doesn't tell us what it is: https://www.kidney.org/sites/default/files/01-10-7278_HBG_CKD_Stages_Flyer_GFR.gif

Dr. Ndugu: "Dr. Krause, hi. Winston Ndugu, cardio-
throracic surgery. Do you have a minute?"

Dr. Krause: "Barely. I've been drowning in cases.
My patients put off seeing me for months, and
now I'm dealing with the backlog. What can I do
for you?"

Dr. Ndugu: "Yeah, I'm consulting on your patient
Rashida Flowers. She mentioned that she's not
on the transplant list."

Dr. Krause: "Yeah. Rashida, she's been through a
lot. Unfortunately, she doesn't fit the transplant
criteria."

Dr. Ndugu: "But Rashida's renal function tests
seem to make her a prime candidate."

Dr. Krause: "Well, you would think, but Rashida's
eGFR is high. It's over 20, disqualifying her from
the list."

Dr. Ndugu: "Estimated."

Dr. Krause: "I'm sorry?"

Dr. Ndugu: "It's an estimated number of what her
kidney function should be, not what it really is."

Dr. Krause: "Dr. Ndugu, the eGFR is the standard
clinical formula, used in the field for the past 20
years. It's what we use to determine care and
qualification of kidney transplant."

Dr. Ndugu: "A transplant could save her from
having to need dialysis in the first place, which
we both know has high mortality rates, espe-
cially in the first three months."

Dr. Krause: "I'm aware, but Rashida just doesn't
qualify. And believe me, I hate that, at least as
much as you do."

Rashida: "Look, I know it's bad. But it's okay. That's
really why I record everything. I want the world to
know who I am before this disease ends me."

Follow-up 2:

At 18:30 into the episode:

Yet another use of the diabetes word without
clarifier. We still have no idea which of the 7
Disparate High Glucose Conditions Rashida,
her mom, & her brother had/has.

In any case, Dr. Ndugu says Rashida's eGFR is
actually lower & she should qualify for a kid-
ney transplant because her being black made
her eGFR appear higher than it actually is.

Her & head of the hospital discuss various med-
ical tests that make it harder for black individu-
als to get needed treatment.

Due to incorrect racial bias against blacks in the
tests, white folks have lower eGFR scores & are
more likely to get kidney transplants.

The following addresses those issues pertaining
to eGFR:

Follow-up 3:

Dr. Ndugu got Rashida approved for a kidney
transplant. No, the episode never said which
of the 7 Disparate High Glucose Conditions
Rashida has & which one(s) Rashida's mom
& brother had.
