The Modern Family actress has always been very open about her health issues and has recently undergone another complication.

Sarah was born with kidney dysplasia, which causes cysts to grow on underdeveloped kidneys.

In 2012, the 28 year old received a kidney from her father, but was required to undergo months of dialysis 4 years later when her body started to reject the organ.

“When a family member gives you a second chance at life, and it fails, it almost feels like it’s your fault,” she said.

Not short of love — or family members — the kidney  Sarah received from her dad has now been replaced by one from her brother Ian, after they discovered he was a match, and he insisted that she do the transplant.

“I only cared about Sarah knowing that I had her back, and that she was going to be okay,” the 23-year-old Ian told Self. “I probably would have insisted on donating even if I wasn’t a match.”

Sarah underwent the transplant in September 2017 and is recovering well.
