The cast of 'Modern Family' wore surgical masks on set following Sarah Hyland's second kidney transplant last year.

The actress recently opened up to Self Magazine about her health issues in an attempt to spread awareness of organ donation.

Speaking to People Magazine she said, 'they've all been so understanding and supportive. They wore surgical masks so I wouldn't get their germs, and it meant a lot.'

Hyland had her first kidney transplant donated from her father in 2012 but it began to fail later in 2016.

She broke down in an interview with Self, 'When you have an organ transplant, it's basically a foreign thing in your body.'

'Your immune system will want to attack it and be like, "What is this? This is not supposed to be here."'

Later in 2017 they discovered her brother was a match. He donated to her in September of last year.

Thankfully, she's doing much better now.
