Lisa Vanderpump's nephew Sam reveals end-stage liver disease diagnosis
"We had a call from the doctors and I've got end stage liver disease, he shared. There is no hope of my liver getting better and he said, I wouldn't be having this call with you if I thought you could make it through the next four or five years.' They're sending me for a liver transplant assessment. The reality star said his doctors warned that a transplant is his only chance of survival."
"In December 2024, Sam was hospitalized and diagnosed with life-threatening sepsis, a serious condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection, according to Mayo Clinic. We couldn't really understand ourselves what was going on at the time, he recalled during an appearance on Good Morning Britain in May. I just wasn't feeling great and was going back into hospital a few times and no one could really understand themselves. Not even the doctors knew what was going on."
Sam Vanderpump, 28, received a diagnosis of end-stage liver disease and was told he has only a few years to live without a transplant. Doctors have scheduled a liver transplant assessment and warned that a transplant is his only chance of survival. He is expecting his first child with fiancée Alice Yaxley and says he is choosing to live fully in the present while hoping to remain healthy until surgery is possible. Recent health issues included severe back pain, dehydration, liver and kidney failure, and a December 2024 hospitalization for life-threatening sepsis. Sam is the son of Lisa Vanderpump's late brother Mark, who died by suicide in April 2018.
