Did you know that people who have received a kidney transplant are at a much higher risk for skin cancer? We sat down with experts to discuss how you can lower your risk. In this episode we heard from: Dr. Cerrene Giordano is a dermatologist and Mohs Micrographic surgeon at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, New York. She specializes in treating skin cancers, particularly in patients who are high risk such as those who have received organ transplants, have weakened immune systems, or a genetic predisposition to skin cancer development. Her expertise includes skin cancer surgery, wound reconstruction, and the management of skin cancers such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, to name a few. Dr. Giordano is also involved in research aimed at improving pain management following dermatologic surgeries and exploring advanced imaging techniques to enhance surgical outcomes. Kent Bressler is a retired RN who was diagnosed with FSGS in 1984, and received a living donor transplant from his brother Kip in 1987. Kent is an active advocate for preemptive kidney transplant and has on the recommendation of NKF worked closely with the DoD and PCORI as a consumer peer reviewer. He is an NKF peer mentor and advocate who has collaborated on an editorial “Change in Albuminuria and GFR as End Points for Clinical Trials in Early Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease,” published in AJKD in 2019. He will also be participating in the development of the new NKF Patient Network serving on the Data Input and Integration Committee. He has been an active hill advocate for the NKF for six years and was the proud recipient of the 2017 Richard K. Salick Advocacy Award. Kent is also an Army Veteran and retired from the Veterans administration as an RN. He is the co-founder of Kidney Solutions a not for profit program in Texas that assists patients and families in the transplant process and in finding a donor. He is currently an assistant team leader for Region 7. Kent and Cathy Bressler have been married for 56 years and their family consists of Gretchen and Todd Rossington and their son Colt and Celeste and Alex Brown and their children John Banks, Catherine and Alexis Brown. Risa Simon is a passionate author, speaker, mentor, kidney patient coach and advocate. As the founder and CEO of The Proactive Path and the TransplantFirst Academy, her mission is to help all kidney disease patients advocate for their best life possible—the life she now lives. As a preemptive kidney transplant recipient, Risa was able to circumvent the need for dialysis. This is her hope for all eligible kidney patients. Risa gives back a good portion of her time by serving on various advisory committees, such as the National Kidney Foundation's (NKF's) Kidney Action committee, the American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP) program and convention committees and she chairs the Phoenix Chapter's Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) education committee.  She is also a member of the PKD Legacy Society and serves as a Peer Mentor for the National Kidney Foundation (NKF).

Today, we're diving into one of the most misunderstood, wrongly demonized, and yet most important pieces of your nutrition strategy: PROTEIN.We're going deep into:Why so many people still believe protein is dangerous — especially for your kidneysWhere these outdated beliefs came fromThe role of protein in muscle gain, fat loss, aging, and long-term healthWhy the RDA is setting you up for failureWhat YOU can do today to get the benefits of a high-protein lifestyleResources:1. High-Protein Diets and Kidney Function in Healthy Adults:Study: A Systematic Review of Renal Health in Healthy Individuals Consuming High Protein DietsFindings: This review analyzed multiple randomized controlled trials and found that increased protein intake led to higher glomerular filtration rates (GFR), all within normal kidney function ranges. The data suggest that higher protein consumption does not adversely affect kidney health in healthy adults. ​Study: Effect of a High-Protein Diet on Kidney Function in Healthy Adults: Results from the OmniHeart TrialFindings: This study concluded that a healthy diet rich in protein increased estimated GFR. However, it noted that the long-term effects of high-protein diets on kidney health remain uncertain.2. Protein Intake and Sarcopenia (Muscle Loss) in Older Adults:Study: Protein Intake and Sarcopenia in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisFindings: The meta-analysis indicated that older adults with sarcopenia consumed significantly less protein than their non-sarcopenic peers, suggesting that inadequate protein intake may be associated with muscle loss in the elderly. ​Study: Role of Dietary Protein in the Sarcopenia of AgingFindings: The study suggests that moderately increasing daily protein intake beyond 0.8 g/kg/day may enhance muscle protein anabolism, potentially mitigating age-related muscle loss. ​Protein & Kidney Health in Healthy IndividualsSystematic Review: High Protein Diets & Renal FunctionConclusion: No negative effects on kidney function in healthy adults.

N Engl J Med 2006;355:2395-407Am Heart J 2011;161:611-21Background: Registry data suggests that 10-20% of patients with a STEMI present more than 12 hours after the onset of symptoms. The optimal treatment for such patients is unknown. In some cases, the inciting event may have occurred weeks prior and been mistaken for indigestion or another non-life threatening condition. Such patients may present to the hospital with a new diagnosis of congestive heart failure or atrial fibrillation. Echocardiography often reveals a a large wall motion abnormality, perfusion testing demonstrates an infarct with peri-infarct ischemia and an occluded vessel is seen on angiography. Should we try to open it? On the one hand, the damage has been done. Attempting to open an occluded vessel is associated with higher procedural risks and the patient's themselves are more often than not sub-optimal candidates for intervention; often having some combination of heart failure, LV dysfunction, older age, multimorbidity and hemodynamic instability. But on the other hand, revascularization restores blood flow and that has to count for something, right?The Occluded Artery Trial (OAT) tested the hypothesis that a strategy of routine PCI for total occlusion of the infarct-related artery 3 to 28 days after AMI would improve cardiac outcomes compared to medical therapy alone.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Patients: Patients were eligible if coronary angiography, performed 3 to 28 days after MI, showed a total occlusion of the infarct-related artery with poor antegrade flow and either an EF less than 50% or the occlusion was in the proximal portion of a major coronary vessel with a large risk region, or both. The qualifying period of 3 to 28 days was based on calendar days with day 1 being the onset of symptoms and thus, the minimal time from the AMI to angiography was just over 24 hours. [This is important, readers should not take the inclusion criteria of 3 to 28 days to mean that patients were not eligible if angiography was performed 2.5 mg/dl, left main or 3 vessel disease, angina at rest, and severe ischemia on stress testing (stress testing was required if the infarct zone was not akinetic or dyskinetic).Baseline characteristics: The trial included 2,166 patients - 1,082 randomized to PCI and 1,084 to medical therapy. The average age of patients was 59 years and 78% were men. Over 80% were white. The median time between AMI and randomization was 8 days. Patients had normal kidney function with an average GFR of 81 ml/min. The mean EF was 48% with 20% of patients having an EF

Podcast Overview The podcast, hosted by Valentin Fuster on January 21, 2025, provides an in-depth review of the FINEARTS-HF trial, which evaluated the efficacy of the non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone in patients with heart failure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmrEF/HFpEF). The episode highlights findings published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). Introduction to the FINEARTS-HF Trial (00:03:19 – 00:05:56) The FINEARTS-HF trial demonstrated that finerenone reduced heart failure events by 16% compared to placebo in patients with HFmrEF/HFpEF. However, cardiovascular death rates were similar between groups, making the overall clinical impact moderate. Finerenone's Impact on Quality of Life (00:05:59 – 00:12:46) The trial assessed quality of life using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ), revealing only a slight improvement (1.62 points) with finerenone. Critics, including the FDA, questioned the clinical relevance of these results and suggested the need for simpler, more meaningful patient-reported outcome measures. Finerenone in Patients with Recent Worsening Heart Failure (00:12:58 – 00:20:30) Patients with recent worsening heart failure showed a greater absolute benefit from finerenone, as they were at higher risk of recurrent events and cardiovascular death. However, further studies are needed to confirm these findings. Finerenone's Role in Obese Patients with HFmrEF/HFpEF (00:20:31 – 00:25:20) In obese patients, the benefits of finerenone were consistent across body mass index (BMI) categories, with a possible greater effect in those with higher BMI. Nevertheless, the reliance on BMI as a metric for obesity was criticized, and alternative measures were recommended. Finerenone and Kidney Outcomes (00:25:23 – 00:40:52) Finerenone showed a modest reduction in albuminuria but did not significantly alter kidney disease progression. Initial declines in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were noted but should not automatically lead to discontinuation of therapy. Mixed findings highlight the need for more research to understand its renal effects. Conclusion (00:40:54 – 00:44:05) The FINEARTS-HF trial was recognized as a landmark study, showcasing modest benefits of finerenone in a challenging patient population. The podcast calls for continued research to refine quality of life metrics, better understand obesity's role in HFmrEF/HFpEF, and explore finerenone's long-term renal and cardiovascular impacts.

Finerenone's Role in Obese Patients with HFmrEF/HFpEF (00:20:31 – 00:25:20) In obese patients, the benefits of finerenone were consistent across body mass index (BMI) categories, with a possible greater effect in those with higher BMI. Nevertheless, the reliance on BMI as a metric for obesity was criticized, and alternative measures were recommended. Finerenone and Kidney Outcomes (00:25:23 – 00:40:52) Finerenone showed a modest reduction in albuminuria but did not significantly alter kidney disease progression. Initial declines in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were noted but should not automatically lead to discontinuation of therapy. Mixed findings highlight the need for more research to understand its renal effects. Conclusion (00:40:54 – 00:44:05) The FINEARTS-HF trial was recognized as a landmark study, showcasing modest benefits of finerenone in a challenging patient population. The podcast calls for continued research to refine quality of life metrics, better understand obesity's role in HFmrEF/HFpEF, and explore finerenone's long-term renal and cardiovascular impacts.

GLP-1 Agonists for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Imagine a treatment that not only helps manage diabetes but also holds the potential to reverse kidney failure — what was once thought to be impossible. The recent FLOW study has remarkable groundbreaking evidence that GLP-1 receptor agonists can significantly improve kidney function in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. And while researchers try to understand the full implications of these findings, one thing is clear: the landscape of kidney disease treatment may never be the same again.  In this podcast, we'll dive into the results of the FLOW trial and explore what they may mean for people at risk for kidney failure. What are GLP-1 Agonists? GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonists are a class of drugs that mimic the effects of the natural hormone GLP-1. They enhance insulin secretion, inhibit glucagon release, and slow gastric emptying, improving blood sugar control. Beyond their primary use in diabetes management, GLP-1 agonists have been studied for various conditions, including obesity and cardiovascular disease prevention. The Study Overview The FLOW trial, which stands for "Fasting and Long-acting GLP-1 Receptor Agonist in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease," focused on the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonists, specifically semaglutide, on patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (those most at risk for kidney failure). Researchers observed a remarkable trend: patients receiving semaglutide demonstrated stabilization of kidney function and signs of renal recovery. This was groundbreaking, as reversing kidney damage has long been considered a near-impossible feat. Study Objectives The primary goal was to determine whether treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists could improve kidney outcomes in patients with CKD. Study Design Participants: The study enrolled >3500 adults with type 2 diabetes and CKD. Intervention: Participants were randomized to receive either semaglutide or a placebo. Primary Outcomes: The main outcomes included changes in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the incidence of major adverse kidney events (kidney failure- need for transplantation or dialysis). Key Findings Renal Function Improvement: Patients on semaglutide showed significant improvements in glomerular filtration rates (GFR), a key indicator of kidney function. Reduced Inflammation: The drugs appeared to lower levels of inflammatory markers associated with kidney damage, suggesting a protective effect. Metabolic Benefits: Improvements in blood sugar control and weight loss were also observed, contributing to overall health and potentially alleviating stress on the kidneys. Adverse Events: The treatment was generally well-tolerated, with a favorable safety profile. Ethical Considerations As the results began to emerge, the ethical landscape of the study shifted dramatically. The control group, which was not receiving semaglutide, was found to be at a significantly higher risk of kidney deterioration. With compelling evidence that the GLP-1 agonist was safe and potentially life-saving, the ethics committee determined withholding treatment from any participants was no longer justifiable. Consequently, the study was halted prematurely to allow all participants access to the medication, prioritizing patient welfare over the continuation of research under an inequitable framework. This decision underscores the ethical responsibility of researchers to ensure that all patients receive the best possible care, especially when clear benefits are identified. Implications for Future Research While the early termination of the study raises questions about the completeness of the data collected, it also opens new avenues for further research. The findings encourage more extensive clinical trials to explore the mechanisms behind the renal protective effects of GLP-1 agonists. Additionally, there is a growing interest in investigating these drugs' long-term effects on kidney health and their potential role in preventing disease progression. As further studies unfold, there is hope that GLP-1 agonists will become a standard part of kidney disease management, potentially transforming outcomes for millions affected by this condition.

Pearls - The Biology of SGLT Inhibition with Dr. Katherine Tuttle SGLT inhibitors, while initially developed as antidiabetic medications, have been shown to be beneficial for cardiovascular and renal outcomes. These benefits result from their on-target glucosuric effects and additional off-target effects. The side effect profiles of SGLTis are primarily mediated by glucose reabsorption in their target tissues. The side effect profile of SGLTis must be considered when prescribing these medications and is generally favorable for SGLT2is versus SGLT1is. Once SGLTis are prescribed, patients should be given specific attention to their eGFR, serum potassium, and clinical evaluations of volume status and blood pressure. Strategies to increase implementation of and reduce clinical inertia for these important class of medication remain an area of active investigation Show notes - The Biology of SGLT Inhibition with Dr. Katherine Tuttle What should prompt consideration of starting an SGLT inhibitor? Considerations for SGLT inhibitor initiation are based on a history of heart failure, kidney disease, and diabetes status. In the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, empagliflozin improved cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in those with low GFR (regardless of level of albuminuria). What is the mechanism of action of SGLT2 inhibitors? SGLT2 inhibitors improve glycemic control by blocking SGLT2 receptor-mediated reabsorption of glucose in the proximal convoluted tubule, where 80-90% of this reuptake occurs, and increased downstream excretion of glucose and sodium chloride. SGLT2 inhibitors provide only a modest glucose-lowering effect, particularly for patients with GFR

I was diagnosed with ichthyosis vulgaris when I was born. I have had very dry skin since birth. It was a lot worse when I was younger. It is much better, however would still be classified as very dry for a normal person. I have to regularly apply moisturizers on my entire body at least 2x daily. Thanks to your recommendation , I discovered my moisturizer was toxic (7 on ewg skin deep) I have 2 questions: 1. Can I do anything from the inside to heal my skin in the long run rather than relying on moisturizers? 2. What is the best for applying topically on skin? Oils? Moisturizers?   Aleisha: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you so much for everything you do and your generosity and energy in this world. I know you don't like to discuss specific brands on the podcast however I was wondering what your thoughts are on the ‘recovery' formula from the ‘Osmosis Skincare' Wellneas range. It says it can rebuild the fat pads lost with aging, I am 33 however due to a pretty intense health journey I have lost much of the volume in my fat pads and feel I look as if have aged dramatically and am considering giving this a go. The main basis of it is that it contains omegas 3,6,7 &9 from sea buckthorn fruit, oil & pulp and some macadamia oil. It is a very expensive product and the claim is that it takes 3 bottles to see changes and 7 bottles for best results. Is there an alternative to this you recommend?   Anouk: Hi there, Thanks for all the information you give out so generously. in July I tested pos. for ( ureaplasma, gardnerella, and candida alb) I took one round of doxy 7 days and a few months later I caught strep and re-tested for everything I still had the Urea +candida but I took clarithromycin for the strep. Of course all of these antibiotics were screwing up my vaginal microbiome.. I since have had a pap that came back HPV pos. ( LSIL) not sure if it the the stress of all of this but for the past few weeks i've had unbearable lower tailbone butt bone / pelvic floor aching and leg cramping, I can feel my vaginal muscles are almost in a permanent kegel and it's very hard to relax down there. Regardless of the pain i'd really like to do what I can to eradicate ALL of these things!   Glenn: What is the difference between caffeine and caffeine anhydrous as found in pre workout drinks and how bad is thus compound for the body. I've found info online on preworkouts and energy drinks but they all seem to revolve around the sugars/ artificial sweeteners in them rather than the other compounds. I enjoy taking these daily and found one that's pretty clean and devoid of sugars so are these really that bad long term? Thank you   Noel: What is you opinion on cupping therapy? I am not talking about wet cupping but just regular cupping. I am a 67 year old female and like 50 lbs overweight so probably have metabolic syndrome so may be prone to heart issues, stroke. But I am most concerned about my kidneys. A few years back I was diagnosed with kidney failure, GFR was 11! Now it is over 60 for the last several years. I understand if there is toxic removal it would get removed through my kidneys ( and liver) and don't want to overtax my kidneys. I am very active otherwise and don't have any aches and pain anywhere. Would also love to minimize my cellulite.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2899 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
