Can you spot the Irony?

So one of the stories burning up the CNN.com tonight is about a barista who donated a kidney to a regular customer. Turns out the customer had Polycystic Kidney Disease, but her "angel" came to save her. Does anyone see the irony here?

Here is one clue: Wiki Description of PKD

Here is a second clue:
Wiki Description for Treatment for Hypertension

Last clue, in question form: Does this customer drink decaf?


Information about Organ and Tissue Donation in the U.S.

(I had some nasty comments about this diary when I posted it on DailyKos. Needless to say, some got the irony, some didn't, and some didn't care. I was urged to add the link about donating organs and tissue though, so it was an overall good experience. For those of you who don't get it, the irony is that the barista has been serving this person COFFEE which is something that someone with PKD should avoid!)
