Kompany, the acclaimed DJ and dubstep producer, has revealed his diagnosis of chronic kidney disease, a condition that affects kidney function over time and, in severe cases, can lead to kidney failure. Known medically as chronic kidney failure, this disease prevents the kidneys from properly removing waste and balancing blood pressure, according to the National Kidney Foundation. Without proper care, it can progress to end-stage kidney failure, a life-threatening condition.

Kompany, whose real name is Kyle Hagberg, shared his diagnosis in an emotional post on social media, reflecting on the physical and mental toll it has taken. He acknowledged that he may need to reduce his touring schedule to manage his health. “I’m grateful to have a better understanding of what’s been going on,” Hagberg wrote, “but adjusting to this new reality has been difficult. Music has always been my passion, and while I’ll still be creating and performing, I may need to slow down at times.”
Diagnosis
Despite his diagnosis, Kompany has made a significant impact in 2024, releasing six singles and performing at major events, including Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado and the prestigious Amsterdam Dance Event. His commitment to fans and to his music has remained steadfast, even as he navigates his health journey.

Early detection can play a vital role in preventing kidney disease from advancing to kidney failure, according to the Mayo Clinic. “Please, let my experience be a reminder: take care of yourselves,” he urged. “Get checked up, listen to your body, and don’t ignore things that feel ‘off.’”
