Meet our 2020 Cleveland LIVEr Champion, Mike Gaydos
Mike’s journey to Liver Transplantation started on September 9, 2014 after lunch on a regular day at work.
He began to not feel well so EMS had to be called and he was immediately taken to University Hospital in Bedford and diagnosed with internal bleeding for esophageal and stomach varices.
Mike was then life-flighted to UH Main Campus, where he was diagnosed with NASH (non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver). His wife and he, along with a team of doctors at University Hospitals of Cleveland, were able to manage the symptoms until April of 2018 when the disease overtook him.
