To the magazine, Bergmark, who left Örebro SK in Superettan after last season, says that he felt during the past year that something was not right in his body. He sought medical care, thinking he had been afflicted with asthma or diabetes, but was told that was not the case.
In July, he sought medical care again.
My blood value is normally around 150-160, now I came in with around 53. And the blood pressure was extremely high. So it was no wonder I had no energy, says the defender to NA.
Bergmark was referred to the emergency room. After examinations, it was clear that he had suffered from chronic kidney failure.
The only solution is a kidney transplant. I need a new kidney. You have two, but one is enough. I will have three kidneys, they don't remove the two you have, but implant a new one, says Bergmark.
He is being treated with the help of dialysis.
Right now, I'm surviving thanks to going on dialysis three times a week.
