Everything you need to know about Kidney Disease.

This week, we kick off a four-part series on the #8 biggest killer in America, which is Chronic Kidney Disease.  But Dr. Prather says it is important to include Hypertension in the discussion because they are linked.  In this episode, you'll learn:—The bad cycle of how Chronic Kidney Disease causes Hypertension and Hypertension causes Chronic Kidney Disease. —How almost 9-in-10 adults who have Chronic Kidney Disease don't even know that they have it.  And the GFR lab test Dr. Prather monitors on all of his patients that reveals your Kidney health. —The astonishing fact that 80% of your Kidney function comes from the Left side and the Left Kidney actually sits lower than the tight Kidney. —How improving the Kidneys always improves Blood Pressure because 70% of Hypertension originates in the Kidneys. —Why there is a difference in acceptable Kidney lab numbers for Black patients.  And why Dr. Prather says this is wrong and needs to be addressed. —How infections (particularly Strep infections), mineral and nutritional imbalances, Kidney stones, pharmaceuticals, and even injuries can cause Kidney Disease. —The importance of proper hydration and proper exercise for Kidney health.  And how these can actually be overdone, such as with CrossFit, Triathletes, and Marathon runners.   —The reason that Chronic Kidney Disease and Hypertension are known as "silent" killers. —Why prescription drugs are absolutely vital in the treatment of Hypertension, but also will eventually destroy the Kidneys over time.  And how Holistic Integration helps patients to work off of their Hypertension medication over time by healing the Kidneys. —The reason that Dr. Prather says that if Structure-Function Care is not included in the treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease, it's just a "downward hill". http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

Jackie Burgess-Bishop, FACHE, who recently retired as CEO of the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois, reflects on her path from studying biology at Northwestern to leading one of Illinois' most vital health organizations, the obstacles she faced as a woman in STEM, how patient education and access to care have changed over her career, and what she hopes people remember most about her seven years at NKFI. We also honor Dylan Richardson in our Donor Spotlight. Dylan was seven years old when he died from injuries sustained in a car crash in 2007. His parents, Dan and Lisa, made the decision to donate his organs — a choice that gave three people more time and made a superhero-loving little boy a hero in death.WATCH: https://youtu.be/GBTqXHGNoto?si=n5M5whteJU-F17yjFOLLOW: @nkfillinois, @cantvchicago, @monicafox99, @saryjanec 

In this episode, Kelly is joined by Ed Welter. Ed has operated a construction company for more than 40 years, worked as the chief dialysis technician at Kings County Hospital and has volunteered at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. He is also a licensed New York City tour guide who leads tours of the historic Woolworth Building. Kelly asks Ed about growing up in Alphabet City, where one of his earliest memories is of his grandfather coming home from work and bathing in the kitchen while listening to “Volare.” Years later, Ed visited the Tenement Museum with his father and was reminded of his grandparents' home. Ed then talks about his mother's battle with kidney disease. When she died, she was the longest-surviving woman on dialysis in the world. At only eight years old, Ed was trained to help operate her home dialysis machine. His mother helped found the American Association of Kidney Patients and traveled to the House of Representatives to help secure dialysis treatment for Americans who needed it. Ed tells Kelly why 38th Street—the street where the podcast studio is located—holds such a special place in his heart. His father's construction company was based there, his parents met there and Ed later met his wife there. He also talks about getting married, moving to Long Island to raise his family and never quite feeling at home away from New York City. After separating from his wife, Ed moved back to Manhattan and began volunteering at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. That experience inspired him to volunteer when the 9/11 Memorial opened and eventually become a licensed New York City tour guide. Ed believes many of the best things in his life came from volunteering. While volunteering at the 9/11 Museum, Ed met Helen Post Curry, the great-granddaughter of Woolworth Building architect Cass Gilbert. She invited him to become a guide at the Woolworth Building, where he met his future business partner, Bob Gelber. After working there as guides, Ed and Bob eventually took over the tour company and helped bring public tours back to one of New York City's most iconic landmarks. Ed also tells the remarkable story of how Frank W. Woolworth rose from humble beginnings to build a retail empire and commission what became the tallest building in the world when it opened in 1913. Finally, Kelly asks Ed to share the heartfelt story of the birdhouse that was left at the 9/11 Memorial to honor one of the victims of the attacks. But above all else—Ed Welter is a New Yorker.

Can you take protein powder, collagen or creatine if you have kidney disease? And could these popular supplements affect your kidneys, blood test results or dialysis treatment?   Protein powders, collagen and creatine are everywhere – from gyms and supermarkets to social media. But for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney failure or receiving dialysis, deciding whether these supplements are appropriate isn't always straightforward.   In this episode of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, Dee Moore is joined by Tadala Kolawole, Senior Renal Dietitian, to explore protein, collagen and creatine through the lens of kidney disease.   Tadala has over a decade of experience in renal dietetics and is passionate about culturally appropriate nutrition, early detection and preventative kidney health education.   Together, Dee and Tadala discuss:   • What protein is and why the body needs it • What protein powders are and when they may be useful • Protein requirements in early-stage CKD • Protein needs in later-stage CKD • Why people receiving dialysis may need more protein • How to choose an appropriate protein supplement • What can happen when you consume too much protein • What collagen is and why people take collagen supplements • Whether collagen is suitable for people living with kidney disease • Potential risks of consuming too much collagen • What creatine is and how it works • Whether creatine is safe for people with kidney disease • The important difference between creatine and creatinine • How creatine supplementation may affect creatinine and eGFR blood test results • Why supplements need to be considered in the context of your individual kidney function, nutritional needs and treatment   Whether you are living with CKD, receiving dialysis, considering supplements for the gym, trying to maintain muscle, or simply want to understand how protein, collagen and creatine relate to kidney health, this conversation will help you ask better questions and make more informed decisions with your healthcare team.   Remember: more isn't always better. Your protein and nutritional requirements can change depending on your stage of kidney disease, whether you receive dialysis and your individual circumstances.  

In the September open access episode of Chattering With iCatCare, sponsored by Elanco, Yaiza Gómez-Mejías is joined by feline specialists Natalie Finch and Sam Taylor to introduce the new consensus guidelines on feline chronic kidney disease. Reflecting on a decade of progress, the conversation explores how our approach to diagnosis, risk factors, and long-term care has evolved.They discuss why standard SDMA cutoffs can be misleading in older patients, the crucial distinction between two commonly confused renal stone conditions, and how certain renal diets might unexpectedly trigger hypercalcaemia. Natalie and Sam also highlight novel therapeutic options for CKD anaemia, explore the gut microbiome's role in uraemic toxin buildup, and share why moving from reactive care to proactive screening transforms patient outcomes.For further reading material please visit:2026 iCatCare consensus guidelines on the diagnosis and management of chronic kidney disease in catsMyElanco - Elanco Resources for Veterinary ProfessionalsIRIS Kidney Disease Guidelines & Staging SystemHost:Yaiza Gómez-Mejías, LdaVet MANZCVS (Medicine of Cats), RCVS CertAP (Feline Medicine), iCatCare Veterinary Community Co-ordinatorSpeakers:Natalie Finch, BVSc, PhD, DipECVIM-CA, FRCVS, European Veterinary Specialist in Small Animal Internal Medicine, RCVS Specialist in Feline MedicineSamantha Taylor, BVetMed(Hons), CertSAM, DipECVIM-CA, FRCVS, Veterinary Specialist Consultant and Veterinary Specialist Lead at iCatCare

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common complications of diabetes, but here's the tricky part: you can have it for years without feeling any symptoms. The good news? Kidney disease can often be detected early, and with the right screening, treatments, and lifestyle changes, its progression can be dramatically slowed. In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus are joined by nephrologist Dr. Bethany Karl to break down what everyone with diabetes should know about kidney health. Dr. E also steps into the patient seat to share his own experience living with chronic kidney disease, from discovering it without symptoms to navigating kidney tests and newer treatments. Together, they explain the two simple tests that can uncover kidney problems, why blood pressure and cardiovascular health matter, and how today's growing toolbox of medications is giving people with diabetic kidney disease more reasons for hope.Key Topics:Why chronic kidney disease is often a “silent” complication of diabetesHow diabetes can affect the kidneys over timeDr. Edelman's personal experience with diabetic kidney diseaseThe two important kidney tests: eGFR and UACRWhy urine protein can be an important early warning signHow often people with diabetes should have their kidneys screenedThe connection between glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, heart health, and kidney healthLifestyle considerations for protecting kidney functionMedications that can help slow the progression of diabetic kidney diseaseNewer kidney-protective therapies and why there is more reason for optimism today✨ Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram:   / tcoydFacebook:   / tcoydStay connected!

Chronic kidney disease affects 844 million people worldwide, yet women are less likely than men to be tested, diagnosed, referred to specialists, or receive treatments that have been adequately studied in female patients Up to 30% to 50% of chronic kidney disease cases go undiagnosed in high-income countries, and women are up to twice as likely as white men to remain undiagnosed even when kidney damage is present Women account for about 55% of the global chronic kidney disease population but represented only 45.4% of participants in kidney disease clinical trials, creating major gaps in knowledge about how treatments affect women Social and economic factors, including caregiving responsibilities, financial barriers, and delayed access to specialist care, contribute to poorer kidney disease outcomes for many women as the condition progresses Protecting kidney health includes addressing contributing factors, such as high blood pressure, poor mineral balance, vitamin D deficiency, physical inactivity, and ultraprocessed food consumption, while using routine blood and urine testing to detect problems before permanent damage occurs

Text the show! What happens when a morally well-intentioned system produces terrible results?Chad begins with the case of Keith Lott, a 47-year-old New Jersey man whose family says they spent two days fighting an organ procurement organization over whether his organs could be recovered after his death.But that story opens a much larger question.America desperately needs kidneys. Living donation has remained essentially flat for decades. Dialysis costs taxpayers enormous sums. And yet federal law prohibits compensating the one person without whom a transplant cannot happen: the donor.Why?Chad traces the answer back to the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984, explores the strange contradictions in what Americans can legally be compensated for donating, and asks whether our moral assumptions have actually produced the outcomes we intended.The episode examines Iran's controversial compensated kidney system, Israel's successful use of non-cash incentives, the danger of exploiting low-income donors, the economics of dialysis and transplantation, and current proposals for carefully regulated donor compensation.The larger idea is what Chad calls “incentive morality.”What systems actually get people to do the most good?Because civilizations aren't built by wishing human beings behaved differently. They're built by designing institutions that work with human nature while protecting freedom, dignity and consent.And sometimes the moral thing isn't demanding better people.It's building a better system.

Over a hundred years ago, a forward-thinking sportswriter suggests that a certain Yankees slugger might solve a munitions crisis much like the one the United States military is reportedly suffering from today. Then we turn to the Giants of the John McGraw era for one of the more obscure Hall of Famers, one very different from Ruth but, like the Babe and the “platinum blonde” actress Jean Harlow, he got a raw deal from his own body. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Can Stem Cells Help Cats with Arthritis, Kidney Disease & Stomatitis? with Dr. Rebecca WindsorStem cell therapy is one of the most exciting developments in veterinary medicine, but what diseases could it actually treat? In Part 2 of this special Purr Podcast episode, recorded at the AVMA Convention 2026 and sponsored by an educational grant from Gallant, Dr. Susan Little and Dr. Jolle Kirpensteijn continue their discussion with veterinary neurologist Dr. Rebecca Windsor, Vice President of Veterinary Affairs at Gallant, to explore where regenerative medicine is headed and why stem cell therapy may change the future of feline healthcare. How could stem cell therapy transform chronic disease treatment in cats?Is stem cell therapy ready for veterinary practice? After explaining the basics in Part 1, this episode takes a deeper dive into the science behind stem cell therapy, including how donor stem cells are carefully screened and manufactured, why they don't trigger immune rejection, and how they help regulate inflammation throughout the body. We explore several of the most common chronic diseases affecting cats, including osteoarthritis, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS), and discusses the promising research that could lead to entirely new treatment options. How do stem cells interact with the immune system? Dr. Rebecca Windsor, DVM, DACVIM, is a board-certified veterinary neurologist with over 20 years of clinical experience.

Henry (B3 Beyond)Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know even more about return guest Henry. Previously known as "B3 Beyond", Henry previously appeared on the show back in December of 2024. Back then he was an anonymous graffiti / street artist. These days he has given up that life of crime, to become a more gallery focused artist. In this episode, we chat about his growing up in The U.K. and what made him switch his outlook and style from the street to the gallery. We cover some of the changes that made him lean in this new direction, and we also discuss some of that previous street art and where those pieces remain today. Now Henry's messaging seems to be focused on bringing attention to kidney disease; a condition that he is all too familiar with. Henry shares what his Kidney condition is, how long he has had it, and what it means for his everyday life. He also shares some startling information about who has it, how many suffer from it, and the staggering amount of folks who may not be aware that they have it. Then we discuss some of the finer points of his new art. He talks about some of the techniques he is working on and studying at university. Again, Henry resides in The U.K. just outside of London, but since we last spoke, he has made a trip across the pond, to The United States. I pepper him with questions about his trip, and where he went, and what he was doing here. Then he explains to me that while it was a refreshing change of scenery, it did inform some of the projects that he is working on. Some of Henry's current works have a decidedly political bent. As listeners of the show will know, we don't talk politics on Fascination Street; but we do deftly discuss his works and the reasons behind them. His art is beautiful, and you can see some of it on his Instagram page and his website. Both of which he shares in this episode. Make sure you check out his work, and if you are so inclined, grab a piece for yourself. I have a couple and they are major focal points on my studio wall.

NBA legend and Miami Heat icon Alonzo Mourning joins Baptist Health primary care physician Dr. Daniel Ramon for a powerful conversation about men's health, preventive screenings and why feeling fine does not always mean being healthy.During this special Men's Health Month discussion, Mourning opens up about his kidney transplant, prostate cancer diagnosis and heart procedures — including the routine checkup that led doctors to discover a serious heart rhythm issue even though he felt completely fine.Together, Mourning and Dr. Ramon encourage men to take charge of their health, schedule regular checkups, ask questions, know their family history and stop waiting until something hurts before seeing a doctor.Because as Mourning says: “If you don't go, you don't know.”For more health and wellness resources, visit Baptist Health South Florida's Resource Blog: https://baptisthealth.net/newsGuests:Alonzo MourningMiami HEAT Alumni, NBA Hall of FamerProstate Cancer SurvivorDaniel Ramon, M.D.Family Medicine PhysicianBaptist Health Primary CareIf you found this episode helpful, you may also enjoy:The Screening That Changed Everything for Alonzo MourningChampioning Men's Health: A Conversation with Alonzo MourningThe Conversation Men Need to Have and Why It Starts Now

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my friend Missak Tokhmanian who shared his powerful journey through kidney disease. After years of managing the physical and emotional toll of declining kidney function, dialysis, and the uncertainty of the transplant waitlist, he received the incredible gift of life—a kidney from a deceased donor. We talk openly about what it's really like to live with kidney failure, the rollercoaster of hope and fear while waiting for a match, and the profound gratitude that comes with receiving an organ from someone who passed away. Missak opens up about the deep sense of responsibility and appreciation they carry for the donor and their family, and how this second chance has reshaped his perspective on life, health, and what truly matters. It's a moving conversation about resilience, the life-changing impact of organ donation, and the quiet heroism of families who choose to give hope in the midst of their own loss. If you or someone you love has been touched by kidney disease or organ donation, this episode is for you. PART II will drop on 6/25 - The conversation with Missak's good friend who helped facilitate the organ. IG: https://www.instagram.com/mikeduppod/?hl=en E-mail the show: Mike@Mikeduppod.net

Send us Fan MailDr. David Sas, pediatric nephrologist at Mayo Clinic, joins Ben to discuss primary hyperoxaluria type 1 — a rare but devastating genetic disease where the liver overproduces oxalate, flooding the kidneys with crystals and leading to end-stage kidney failure in roughly 60% of patients, historically requiring both a liver and kidney transplant. He presents 60-month long-term extension data on Lumasiran, an siRNA-based therapy that suppresses oxalate production at its source — showing that urinary oxalate drops rapidly within the first three months and stays down with quarterly injections, potentially changing the trajectory of this disease forever. He also issues a direct call to urologists and nephrologists everywhere: if your patient has recurrent calcium oxalate stones, check a 24-hour urine — because primary hyperoxaluria is almost certainly being missed.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

If you have chronic kidney disease, you've probably been told to cut out potassium, avoid phosphorus-rich foods, and brace for dialysis. But what if most of that advice is outdated and the foods you've been avoiding are actually the ones that could protect your kidneys?In this episode, you'll hear from Jen Hernandez RDN, CSR, LDN, who makes the case that the most powerful thing people with CKD can do isn't eliminate more foods, but stop fearing the ones that were never the problem to begin with.Connect with Destiny:  Instagram / Facebook______________________________

Hosted by Dr. Sam Kant, this Kidney Commute: Pit Stop episode explores the Cerebronephrology region of NephMadness 2026 and the emerging concept of the brain–kidney axis. Drs. David Drew and Colton Jensen examine how chronic kidney disease and ESKD with dialysis contribute to cognitive impairment—an underrecognized complication affecting a large proportion of patients. From early microvascular injury, albuminuria, and hypertension in CKD to cerebral hypoperfusion, ischemia, and structural brain changes during dialysis, this discussion highlights the bidirectional relationship between kidney and brain health. Join us as we unpack where brain injury begins and what this means for earlier recognition and improved patient care.

I am delighted to reconnect with Dr. Jason Fung today. We last connected in October 2020 for Episode 121.  Dr. Fung is a nephrologist and a prominent figure in the intermittent fasting and low-carb space. He has made significant contributions as a founding member of The Fasting Method, providing evidence-based guidance on weight loss and blood glucose management through low-carb diets and intermittent fasting. He has written several books, including The Obesity Code, The Complete Guide to Fasting, The Diabetes Code, and The Cancer Code.  In our discussion today, we look at the forecast for metabolic health in 2024, exploring how the growth of the diabetes population relates to the effects of the pandemic and addressing the conflict of interest with organizations like the ADA and registered dieticians. Dr. Fung shares some of his biggest frustrations, including the shallow and myopic thinking amongst those focusing on calories in and calories out, and we get into various facets of metabolic health, from the nuanced influences of gender, puberty, perimenopause, and menopause to hedonistic eating, sarcopenia, bio-individuality, and therapeutic fasting. Dr. Fung also shares his perspective on GLP-1s, shiftwork, supplements, and more. Join us for valuable insights on various aspects of metabolic health and how they impact our well-being. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN How the influence of food companies has led dieticians and diabetes associations to focus on moderation instead of a balanced diet Dr. Fung shares his frustration with the lack of progress in addressing the diabetes issue How hormones impact weight gain and hunger Why does focusing on calories in and out not provide the solution to weight loss?

Most people don't find out they have kidney damage until it's too late. Discover 18 early signs of kidney problems that often occur before the damage is too severe. When it comes to chronic kidney disease, prevention is key.0:00 Introduction: Kidney function explained 2:11 Early kidney damage signs 3:00 Stages of kidney disease 3:48 What destroys kidney health?7:07 18 visible kidney damage signs 10:08 How to prevent kidney diseaseHealthy kidneys are imperative to your overall health. The kidneys are situated deep within the rib cage, and have your adrenal glands on top. Each filtering unit of the kidney, called a nephron, contains a highly concentrated network of capillaries. There are 1 million nephrons in each kidney! This number often decreases with age, although it typically does not cause many symptoms. Kidneys are very good at compensating, even if they're 50% damaged. One of the earliest kidney health warning signs is protein in the urine. At-home urine tests detect the albumin-creatinine ratio, which you want to keep below 30 mg/g. The stages of chronic kidney disease are associated with specific percentages of nephron loss:Stage 2: 20% loss Stage 3: 60% lossStage 4: 85% lossStage 6: 95% lossThe good news is that if you catch kidney disease in time, it can be reversed. The following factors often cause kidney disease: •Ultra-processed foods •PFAS•Insulin resistance •Medications•Low vitamin D •Low magnesium •Low omega-3s •Poor sleep Here are 18 early signs of kidney disease:1. Puffy eyes 2. Swollen feet3. Swollen hands 4. Sudden weight gain5. Foamy urine6. Itchy skin 7. Pale skin 8. Dark circles under the eyes9. Bruise easily10. Dark urine11. Blood in the urine12.
