Tina Turner suffered from kidney disease before her death: 'I have put myself in great danger'

Although Tina Turner's representative said she died of natural causes, the singer struggled with several health issues, including long-term kidney disease. Here's what to know.

As recently as March 9, on World Kidney Day, Turner announced her support of an international campaign for kidney health via Instagram. "I have put myself in great danger by refusing to face the reality that I need daily, lifelong therapy with medication." "I realized that the struggle for healing is always also a struggle for accurate information." "The doctors made it very clear that the consequences of my decision were irreversible." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital. 

Turner shared in the post how her failure to seek treatment had harmed her health and endangered her life.
