Nephrologist Manjula Tamura discusses the downsides of kidney dialysis, especially for old or frail patients. Her field has set its sights on offering alternatives, including supportive medical management without dialysis, dialysis in increments, wearable artificial kidneys, and transplanted kidneys from genetically modified pigs – in addition to advances in preventive care that can help humans avoid kidney failure in the first place. Dialysis can extend life, she says, but it is a lifestyle change. The goal is to ensure that every patient's choice aligns with their values and life goals, Tamura tells host Russ Altman in this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

My guest today has a long history of working and playing in some of the most rugged and remote parts of NSW. So, with a few days up his sleeve, a bit of research and the right kind of skills and experience behind him, he set off for another steep n' deep trip through Kanangra Boyd National Park, bound for Katoomba on the traditional K2K route.WARNING: The K2K route is described online as a classic 3 day trip in the southern Blue Mountains. This description was written before the fires and floods since 2019. It cannot be compared with other walks of a similar length such as the Six Foot Track, which is on well-defined management and fire trails. The K2K has always been a challenging walk that pushes the Australian Walking Track Grading System of 1-5, into an unofficial 6. That was then (before the fires) and now, it's an even more punishing route.I've written about this route before with this rescue of Chini who shared her written story.NPWS Alert re: K2K routeHeraclitus was a Greek philosopher, born around 500 BC. Now, I'm wondering if he was a bit of a bushwalker and a lover of nature, cos he's the one who said, “No man ever steps in the same river twice. For it's not the same river and he's not the same man.”He's also the one credited with saying, “the only constant is change.”Nowhere is this more evident than in nature: The turning of the seasons, the changes this brings in life cycles of plants and animals, erosion from weather, climate change, bushfires, my greying hair, you name it.And for those of us who love being out on (or off) the track, it's something that feels more obvious in recent years: there's more people, more bushfires, weather events and landslides are changing the landscapes that we love to spend time in.Learnings from this episode: Having a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) as a critical part of your packing. The importance of having a 'place to go' within yourself (eg. meditation, mindfulness, faith, etc) when faced with a crisis, helping you remain calm and make wise decisions. The value of having past experience in similar terrain you expect to encounter. Just because a track is marked online or on apps, doesn't meant it exists in the landscape. Other than the official land manager apps (eg: NPWS App) data can be out of date and user reviews or descriptions extremely subjective. Apps like AllTrails, etc should be used in conjunction with other research and navigation skills. If it's been a while between longer or hard walks, consider your overall health from other factors.Helpful Links: Episode 6 - PLBs and other satellite communication devices // My interview with Linda Berriman from AMSA (the AU govt agency responsible for rescues in Australia) Creatine Kinase (CK) testing

In this emotional and heartfelt episode, Dr. Stanton Hom and Hope Schachter, a former marriage and family therapist and holistic nutritionist, discuss the harrowing experience of Hope's daughter, Autumn, who became a victim of medical kidnapping during the COVID era. Hope shares the distressing journey from urgent care visits to a forced five-week hospitalization at Stanford's Lucille Packard Children's Hospital, despite constant resistance, misdiagnoses, and aggressive medical interventions. The episode underscores the importance of informed consent, parental rights, and vigilance against medical overreach, while also delving into the complexities of trauma-informed care, medical tyranny, economic ties to healthcare decisions, and the emotional turmoil families face in navigating the healthcare system.   Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to the Future Generations Podcast 01:34 Hope's Background and Autumn's Story Begins 04:36 Autumn's Medical Journey: Initial Symptoms and Urgent Care Visits 07:51 Emergency Room Visit and Diagnosis 09:06 Transfer to Lucille Packard and Initial Treatments 12:29 Challenges and Hostility at Lucille Packard 13:44 Autumn's Decline and Parental Concerns 19:51 Kidney Failure and Dialysis Decisions 23:02 Medical Mismanagement and Parental Advocacy 35:34 CPS Involvement and Legal Battles 42:30 The Terrifying Reality of Medical Collusion 43:50 Autumn's Struggle with Ventilation and Extubation 47:19 The Battle for Autumn's Nutritional Needs 49:39 The Fight to Bring Autumn Home 53:21 The Aftermath and Continued Struggles 56:38 The Importance of Advocacy and Support 01:03:47 The Broader Implications of Medical Kidnapping 01:20:35 Final Thoughts and Future Conversations   Resources: Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Support the Schachter Family: GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-autumn-4    Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc    Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  https://www.instagram.com/thefuturegensd  https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/  https://www.facebook.com/thefuturegensd/  If you would like to learn more about the truth behind the pandemic, please check out The End of C0V1D.  Click the link to sign up: https://theendofcovid.com/ref/352/    Get the Heart of Freedom III Replay here: https://hof3replay.thefuturegen.com/hof3recording  Join the Future Generations Community here: https://community.thefuturegen.com  San Diego area residents, take advantage of our special New Patient offer exclusively for podcast listeners here.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if James Bond had to visit a real doctor? In this podcast episode, Prof. Jonathan Sackier, a surgeon with a penchant for dry martini humour, and Dr. Nigel Guest, a family practitioner who can pull out a quip with the same panache as 007 whipping out his PPK , dive headfirst into the health consequences of James Bond's high-octane lifestyle. They don't just scratch the surface; they explore the nitty-gritty details of how Bond's smoking, drinking, and penchant for getting into physical altercations would wreak havoc on his body.What happens when you mix martinis, shaken or stirred (after all, “who gives a damn?”), with a barrage of bullets and high-speed chases? Prof. Sackier and Dr. Guest paint a vivid picture of the interconnectedness of symptoms in medicine, using a hilariously over-the-top case study to show how seemingly disparate symptoms can point to a single underlying condition. “I've been expecting you, Mr Bond”. Picture this: Bond walks into Dr.No-it-all's office with a limp, a cough, a black, not gold finger, a  limp appendage and no thunderball, as well as a mysterious rash. By the end of the consultation,  it's clear that Bond's lifestyle isn't just dangerous; it's a medical nightmare waiting to happen. The Docs makes you wonder how Bond manages to get out of bed in the morning, let alone get into it for some fun and games or to save the world.Ever thought about the real-life consequences of being an international man of mystery? The Docs humorously deconstruct Bond's unrealistic portrayal in media, emphasising the serious health issues he would likely face. They don't hold back, discussing everything from erectile dysfunction to kidney failure and even hearing impairment. I said HEARING IMPAIRMENT. Imagine Bond trying to seduce a femme fatale while dealing with the side effects of chronic alcohol abuse—it's not a pretty picture! The conversation is peppered with jokes and light-hearted jabs, making it clear that while Bond might be invincible on screen, in real life, he'd be more likely to become a spectre.Want Moore? Prof. Sackier and Dr. Guest navigate the fine line between humour and medical accuracy. By the end of the episode, you'll have a newfound appreciation for the resilience of fictional characters and a better understanding of the real-life consequences of living like Bond. So, next time you watch a Bond film, remember: real life is not a 007 film. Take care of yourself because while diamonds are forever, none of us gets to decide to Die Another Day.—--DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed on Join the Docs are those of Dr. Nigel Guest, Jonathan Sackier and other people on our show.

The landscape of options for treating people with kidney failure is shifting.  It used to be that the “only” robust option in the US was dialysis.  You can listen to our prior podcast with Keren Ladin talking about patients who viewed dialysis as their only option, and structural issues that led to this point (including this takedown of for profit dialysis companies by John Oliver).  One of the problems was a lack of an alternative robust option to offer patients.  As one of our guests says, you have to offer them something viable as an alternative to dialysis. Today we interviewed Sam Gelfand, dually trained in nephrology and palliative care, Kate Sciacca, a nurse practitioner (fellowship trained in palliative care), and Josh Lakin, palliative care doc, who together with a social worker and other team members started KidneyPal at DFCI/BWH, a palliative care consult service for people with advanced kidney disease.  As a team, they provide a robust alternative to dialysis for patients with kidney failure: conservative kidney management. And “conservative,” as they note, can mean not only a “conservative approach,” as in non-invasive/less aggressive, but also an effort to “conserve” what kidney function remains. We get right down to the nitty gritty of kidney supportive care techniques they incorporate in clinic, including: Communication about the choice between dialysis and conservative kidney management: what are the tradeoffs?  Function often declines after initiating dialysis, at least among nursing home residents. Dialysis may extend life, but those “additional” days are often spent in the hospital or dialysis, away from home. Symptoms are common in both options, though more anxiety and cramping in dialysis, more pruritus and nausea in conservative kidney management.. Introducing the idea of hospice early, at the time of diagnosis with kidney failure. Listen also to our prior podcast with Melissa Wachterman on hospice and dialysis. Approaches to treating fatigue Approaches to treating pain - the second most common symptom (!) - and the answer isn't tramadol (or tramadon't) - rather think buprenorphine patch or methadone, and how to dose gabapentin and pregabalin. Also, don't count out the NSAIDS! Approaches to treating itching/pruritus Approaches to treating nausea Our guests were deeply grateful to their colleagues Dr. Frank Brennan, Dr. Mark Brown, and clinical nurse consultant Elizabeth Josland of the renal supportive care team at St. George Hospital in Sydney, Australia (down under) for teaching them the ropes of palliative care in kidney failure.  And we got to learn some new vocabulary, including the meaning of “chunder.”  Enjoy! -@AlexSmithMD

Have you ever had something happen that completely changed life as you knew it? For me, that moment was March 2021 when I got the Covid vaccine. Within 6 months after the vaccine, my kidneys shut down and I experienced complete kidney failure. Fast forward to unrelenting sickness where I could barely get out of bed, to getting a kidney transplant and then having the transplant removed because my body rejected it… …I received the scariest statement I had ever heard in my life. It was the moment my doctors told me they had no answers as to why all this was happening. And that they've seen nothing like this in their 30+ years of practice. What did this mean for me and my future?  I knew I had to keep going and I had to keep fighting. There was no other option because I needed to be here for my family, even if that meant I had to figure things out on my own. In this episode of Mind Your Health, follow along as I recount my kidney failure journey and the biggest lessons it taught me… …which are the reasons why I'm so grateful today for this experience. So whether you've had a diagnosed condition you've been fighting for a long time, like cancer or autoimmunity. OR you don't have a diagnosis but you have mysterious symptoms that your doctors can't seem to figure out, like gut discomfort, skin rash, fatigue, aches and pains, etc… Keep going and keep searching for answers and options because I promise that your story can change for the better at any moment. I'm hosting a FREE training tomorrow May 8th at 12 PM ET where I'll share four essential life skills I've learned that have kept me coming back stronger than ever, no matter what life and health throws my way.

Dylan lives in Tennessee. He's a magazine editor. He has a wife. He has a young daughter. And he has Alport syndrome, a hereditary kidney disease. In this episode of Lifespan, Dylan describes his years on kidney dialysis, how a kidney transplant recently transformed his life, and the uniqueness of being part of an extended family with so many members affected by an inherited illness.

Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom amongst people with kidney failure but remains under appreciated and understudied. Interventions to address fatigue in people with kidney failure requiring dialysis are lacking, highlighted by the lack of recommendations on managing fatigue in clinical practice guidelines. A Cochrane review was published in 2023 summarizing the benefits and harms of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for fatigue in people on dialysis. On this podcast, the review's first author Dr Patrizia Natale joins us to discuss the study's findings.

One of the biggest challenges is identifying kidney disease in the early and middle stages, says Prabir Roy-Chaudhury. He works to emphasize the importance of simple blood and urine tests for high-risk populations for earlier diagnosis, but also strives for better treatment once kidney failure sets in. He discusses: Why his main interest is dialysis vascular access dysfunction, What are common issues, such as cardiovascular complications in kidney disease patients, How current tests like the GFR and albumin amounts are calculated and why they determine the kidney failure risk equation, and What should patients prioritize in treatment, from Vitamin D importance to new drugs and technologies. Prabir Roy-Chaudhury is a professor of medicine in the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension and co-director of UNC Kidney Center and specializes in uremic vascular biology. He brings listeners online with the basics of kidney disease, who's at risk, and what's being done to make treatment better. We need our kidneys to rid our bodies of toxic byproducts and fluid, he says. If the kidneys can't rid us of our byproducts, these uremic solutes accumulate in the blood and our systems suffer. That's why doctors turn to other ways of filtrating these out of our bodies through dialysis. That's also where Dr. Roy-Chaudhury would like to see improvement. He explains both types of dialysis—hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis—describing their strengths and weaknesses. He adds that “my dream definitely would be for us to be in a slightly different place” with dialysis. He shares some good news towards that end: that the American Society of Nephrology has partnered with the FDA and Health and Human Services to produce public and private partnerships, such as the Kidney Health Initiative and the Kidney Innovation Accelerator, to improve these treatments. Listen in to learn about these exciting projects that hope to dramatically change the quality of life for patients with kidney disease. Episode also available on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/30PvU9C
