Tune in to The Heart of Innovation this week as we share an incredible story of a young woman who helped save her grandfather's life and now is trying to save others through organ donation advocacy. Since it's National Kidney Month, Emmy Award-winning journalist Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips interview Danica Almazan, RN and Miss Marin County 2025, whose family's courageous fight against kidney disease sparked a powerful mission of hope. You might wonder why we are talking about kidney disease on a show about cardiovascular and vascular health. Kidney disease, especially in advanced stages can lead to peripheral artery disease, which is poor circulation in mainly the legs, and lead to amputation. Many of the peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients both Kym and Dr. John support have CKD and ESRD, some of which are also in need of a kidney transplant. They want to get the word out there on the importance of kidney health as well as raise awareness that all kidney disease patients should be checked for peripheral artery disease and to find a doctor who specializes in opening the small vessels below the knee and into the foot, which is where kidney disease patients are typically stricken with PAD. Whether you're impacted by peripheral artery disease, kidney health challenges, or simply want to understand the power of family support, this episode is a must-watch! #KidneyHealth #OrganDonation #TheHeartOfInnovation #NationalKidneyMonth #MissMarin2025 #peripheralarterydisease #padsupport #CLI #criticallimbischemia

March is National Kidney Month. Kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that filter wastes and extra water out of our blood and make urine. Damage to your kidneys means they can't filter blood the way it should, which could lead to kidney disease. Our guest for this episode is Leo Yamaguchi, M.D., associate program director and vice chief of clinical services for the TTUHSC School of Medicine's Internal Medicine Division of Nephrology. Dr. Yamaguchi explains how our kidneys work, some of the causes of kidney disease, how we can keep our kidneys safe and why we might want to consider becoming an organ donor.

(AURN News) – In observance of National Kidney Month, Black Health Matters and the National Kidney Foundation have united forces to bring the pressing issue of kidney health within the African American community to the forefront. According to the National Kidney Foundation, Black individuals face a staggering fourfold increased risk of developing kidney failure compared to other racial groups. One in three kidney failure patients in the United States is Black. Nationwide, 33% of adults are susceptible to kidney disease. Diabetes emerges as the primary culprit behind kidney failure, closely followed by high blood pressure, according to the organization. The data is sobering: more than 42% of Black adults grapple with high blood pressure, a significant contributing factor to kidney dysfunction. There is a critical need for comprehensive outreach initiatives, early detection programs, and culturally sensitive healthcare interventions tailored to the unique needs of the African American community. We must remember that behind each statistic lies a personal narrative of struggle, resilience, and the unyielding quest for equitable access to quality healthcare. Far too many African Americans in our country are not treated fairly or taken seriously by medical professionals. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

March is National Kidney Month. On this episode of This Thing Called Life, host Andi Johnson talks with someone who saw a vital need and acted on it in regards to living kidney donation, Brett Milam. Tune in to hear his journey as a living kidney donor. Episode Highlights: Andi previews National Kidney Month and the importance of education. Kidney disease, diabetes is often referred to as the silent killer.  There are more than 37 million Americans who have Kidney disease and high blood pressure which often leads to kidney failure. More than 90,000 people are waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant. To get more information about kidney health and prevention, please visit lifepassiton.org or nkf.org today. Guest, Brett Milam, shares when he first thought about kidney donation. He saw a fellow journalist through Instagram who made it seem really doable. Andi asks Brett to talk about the process to become a donor. He went through UC Medical Center.  Brett says you don't pay anything to be a living donor and the commitment was not overwhelming. The Medical Center even reimbursed his parking tickets. Andi talks about the safeguards in place for routes of discrimination. How long do you need to be off work? Brett shares what it feels like when your organs are reconfiguring after surgery. Brett has visited dialysis centers and talks about what it is like. What if your family needs a kidney after you have previously donated? The fall after his surgery he went skydiving for the second time in his life. He talks about the drawal to do it. He overcame his fear of public speaking to champion this cause and in 2022, Brett decided to work for Life Center. Andi asks Brett to talk about mental health. He had a personal journey with depression that he navigated through and what helped him overcome. What is talk therapy? If you are struggling with mental health, Brett has advice for you. He said do not fear telling your primary care physician that you are struggling mentally. You may have to go through different therapists and/or medications but it is very worth it. Andi talks about recognizing managing new normal after covid and how Life Center decided to offer counseling to their staff. Brett loves to read. He talks about what he enjoys reading. He recently read Stranger In The Woods. Brett did not know who his donor recipient was but it was still such a fulfilling experience. Andi reminds listeners that there are 103,933 men women and children who need life saving organ transplants. What can you do to help?   3 Key Points: March is National Kidney Month. Many Americans have kidney disease and high blood pressure which often leads to kidney failure which then in turn requires dialysis or kidney transplant. It is important to be educated to be out in front of the disease in prevention. Brett Milam shares that it was a simple calculation for him to decide to be a living kidney donor.  Life Center's mission and purpose drew Brett in. He thought he would work in journalism forever until a perfect turn of events led him to use his skills for this specific organization.   Resources: https://lifepassiton.org/ https://lifepassiton.org/board-of-directors-leadership/ https://www.facebook.com/LifeCenterOH https://www.youtube.com/user/LifeCenterOH https://aopo.org/

On this episode of This Thing Called Life, host Andi Johnson highlights March as National Kidney Month.  Kidney disease is often referred to as the “silent killer” because so many people have experienced it and complications that cause it without knowing it for an extended period of time. Tune in so you can be educated about this important topic and proactive with your own health.    Episode Highlights: Do you know what Kidney health is? Do you understand your family history as it relates to kidney disease? Andi says, “More than 37 million Americans have kidney disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes, all of which lead to kidney failure often.” What does that mean? More than 90,000 people in the US are waiting for life saving kidney transplants. Andi lists the signs of kidney disease and encourages the listeners to visit nkf.org for more information. How can you create generational health? In Cincinnati, LifeCenter is working with The Links Incorporated and Closing The Health Gap and will be holding their first ever forum on this issue of diabetes and kidney disease.  Andi says they have seen an increase in children being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and that is the wrong way to be trending. Andi says the partnership forum will open the conversation for physicians and others who have been through the experience so that everyone can be educated to take steps they need to for generational health.

Controversy Continues: Diuretics and CKD

March is National Kidney Month, which brings awareness to kidney health, which in turn is a global public health burden. For this last episode of Physician's Weekly podcast this March of 2022, we wanted to highlight a recent publication about the use of diuretics in patients with chronic kidney disease, or CKD, with a prevalence of 11% in the USA . Diuretics are useful in the management of most patients with CKD because they reduce ECF volume; lower blood pressure; potentiate the effects of ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and other antihypertensive agents; and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in CKD. Physician's Weekly's Senior Editor Martta Kelly interviews Dr. Alan S Go, of the Kaiser Permanente of Northern California, whose team looked at the effect of diuretics on renal outcomes among nearly 48K adults with chronic kidney disease. Loop and thiazide class diuretics are an important part of guideline-directed medical therapy for patients with CKD with hypertension, edema, metabolic acidosis and/or hyperkalemia. Yet diuretics can be also be associated with acute elevations in serum creatinine and electrolyte derangements. Whether diuretics result in direct kidney injury versus benign hemoconcentration of serum creatinine remains controversial, which was the rationale behind this large study. But first, March is also famous for MATCH DAY from the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Match Day is when domestic and international medical school students and graduates learn in which U.S. residency programs they will train. Naturally this is extremely important to the careers of all residents and it is coupled with high stress and anxiety, as well as questions about how best to prepare. Some recent participants set up a Resident-led platform, called Inside The Match, with information, help reviewing your applications, and a podcast series to provide everything you wanted to know about the residency match process but were too afraid to ask. Physician's Weekly interviews psychiatry resident and co-founder Simone Bernstein, previously recognized as a social entrepreneur in Forbes' 30 under 30 list. She is truly a mover and shaker!Enjoy listening!Additional reading:https://www.insidethematch.com/Fitzpatrick JK, Yang J, Ambrosy AP, Cabrera C, Stefansson BV, Greasley PJ, Patel J, Tan TC, Go AS.

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid published these details in an April 2021 report entitled Chronic Kidney Disease Disparities: “Racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities exist in the quality of primary care for patients with chronic kidney disease and CKD risk factors. Low-income, racial, and ethnic minority patients are less likely to receive recommended care related to CKD risk factors and are less likely to reduce CKD risk through recommended treatment goals (blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol control). Racial and ethnic minorities are also more likely to progress from CKD to end-stage renal disease (ESRD)—also known as end-stage kidney disease (ESKD)—and are less likely to have been under the care of a nephrologist before starting dialysis.” My guests Ursula Sharp and Virginia Clay share their journey living with chronic kidney disease, their treatment, and the critical factors that enable them to live a good quality of life.  Dr. Prayus Tailor, MD, FASN: Nephrologist, Medical Director, FKC Brandywine Home Therapies Newark, Delaware, and Jed Dadson: Marketing leader in Renal Care discuss what you need to know about chronic kidney disease, the treatment pathways, and the barriers that exist in the black community.

On this episode of This Thing Called Life, host Andi Johnson is talking with Sandra Wright. Sandra is a transplant survivor and the founder of The Greater Cincinnati African American Heart Association. She is back on the podcast today to discuss the importance of understanding organ donation because it extends life. Don't miss it!   Episode Highlights:  Andi encourages the listeners to be educated about what organ donation is and how it impacts all of us.  March is National Kidney Month. Andi shares a few helpful ways to keep your kidneys healthy like staying healthy and fit, monitoring your blood sugar, monitoring your blood pressure, monitoring your weight, and more.  Delaying and denying when something is off with your body does you no good. Everyone should be as proactive with their health as possible. Did you know that African Americans make up the majority of people on the National waiting list for kidney transplants. Research shows that african americans may carry a gene that creates a higher salt sensitivity which increases the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. Last time on the podcast, Sandra shared her story of being a heart transplant survivor. If you missed it, go back and listen! (Episode 40) Andi asks Sandra, “Why do you think so many African Americans remain opposed to organ donation? Sandra shares when she had heart failure what changed for her in her thinking on the path she was on. Andi asks Sandra, “Was registering to be a donor ever talked about around the time you were getting your license?” In the times we live in, we  are now inundated with information. Andi and Sandra share how everyone should take an active role in their health. We have to embrace how precious our lives are and do everything we can to be present. How do we begin the conversation about generational health? Andi discusses the criteria for being able to go with organ donation from a donor. Sandra encourages listeners to take this podcast seriously and if you want to, go do some of your own research. Have you thought about the ability to help others even after you yourself transition? Andi asks Sandra to talk about her organization, The Greater Cincinnati African American Heart Association. She feels an obligation and is so honored to share information from traveling the journey herself in a real way. She spreads awareness with authentic truth.  Today, over 106,380 people are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant and more than 3,000 are in need of heart transplants.    3 Key Points: March is National Kidney Month. It is important to know how to keep your kidneys healthy and the warning signs that they are not. Sandra Wright is a heart transplant survivor who shares her story to educate and give hope to others. She shares about barriers, lack of access, and the importance of understanding your heritage and family history.  There are so many lies mixed in with a little truth that circulates in the community about organ donation and creates mistrust and opposition. Knowledge is key. Get educated about the topic and take a proactive role in your health.

Chronic kidney disease kills more people than breast or prostate cancer each year – it's the 9th leading cause of death but you won't see NFL players wearing socks and gloves to increase awareness. Thirty-seven million people in the U.S., or 15 percent of adults, are impacted by CKD, and around 90 percent of those with the disease don't even know they have it! Treating kidney disease costs the Medicare program $130B and although patients with kidney failure account for only one percent of the Medicare population, they are responsible for over seven percent of all Medicare spending. Over the last 40-50 years, kidney care has experienced significantly less transformation than other areas like diabetes, cardiology, cancer, and HIV/AIDS. We have been failing in kidney care for far too long, and instead of focusing just on dialysis, we need to realize that kidney disease is more than just ESRD, and there is way more to ESRD than just in-center dialysis. This historic stagnation in kidney care with a large population now in crisis is a hugely abundant opportunity for innovative companies like Cricket Health to come in and change the game. In this week's episode, we are joined by Bobby Sepucha, CEO of Cricket Health, a specialty care management company leading the way in the Value-based kidney care space. National Kidney Month is the right time to discuss how we can win this Race to Value with integrated nephrology and dialysis care for people with Chronic Kidney Disease and End Stage Renal Disease. Episode Bookmarks: 02:00 37 million people in the U.S., or 15 percent of adults, are impacted by CKD, and around 90 percent of those with the disease don't even know they have it! 02:15 Medicare pays well over $100 billion for people with all stages of renal disease, which was nearly 20 percent of all Medicare spending last year. 02:45 While just one percent of Medicare beneficiaries have kidney failure, kidney failure accounts for over seven percent of all Medicare spending! 05:35 The system is designed to fail patients with chronic kidney disease 07:45 How the 1972 Medicare enrollment eligibility provision for ESRD patients created an unintended consequence of earlier stage CKD patients getting neglected 08:09 President Trump's Executive Order on Advancing American Kidney Health (July 2019) 08:35 Bobby recalls his work with CMS and Congress to bring the ESRD Seamless Care Organization (ESCO) alternative payment model into fruition 09:00 “Unless we go upstream and start engaging patients prior to kidney failure, success in value-based kidney care will be limited.” 09:30 40% annualized mortality rate for dialysis patients can only be addressed by upstream CKD intervention 09:40 The new Kidney Care Choices (KCC) and the ESRD Treatment Choices (ETC) payment models 11:50 “Only 12% of ESRD patients today in America dialyze at home – that lags other nations to such an alarming degree.” 12:15 “If you were going to design the worst imaginable healthcare delivery system for kidney patients, you'd come up with the one we have here in America. Costs are astronomical, outcomes are terrible, mortality rates are through the roof, everyone is dialyzing in a center instead of home…it just doesn't make any sense.” 12:55 60-65% of ESRD patients “crash” into dialysis with an ER visit 14:00 Cricket's model for upstream CKD intervention 15:00 “Getting patients to dialyze at home is a multifactorial problem.” 16:15 The overlap of nephrology and palliative care 18:00 Telehealth is the silver lining to the pandemic 18:30 A patient story about the success of transitioning to home-based dialysis 19:55 The appalling lack of kidney care innovation over the last 40-50 years 22:20 The obesity epidemic and exploding kidney care costs over the last few decades 23:00 Working with payers for a more holistic approach to value-based kidney care 23:45 Payer goals: 1) reduce CKD hospital utilizatio...

March is National Kidney Month. According to the National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease 30 million people in the United States are living with a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. 660,000 American have renal failure with 470,000 patients on dialysis. 190,000 people live with a kidney transplant. Each year chronic kidney disease kills up to 50,000 Americans, more than either breast or prostate cancer. High blood pressure and diabetes are the two leading causes of chronic kidney disease.  kidney disease in its early stages is silent and has no symptoms. For this episode, I am going to the very periphery of the field of Urology, a surgical specialty, and into the field of Nephrology, to talk a little bit about how your kidneys work, so you can understand if you are at risk or have evidence of chronic kidney disease. Your Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) represents the total filtering capacity of millions of tiny filters, each one called a glomerulus.  March is National Kidney Month. Protect your glomeruli.

With March being National Kidney Month, PKD Foundation of Canada Executive Director, Jeff Robertson, and volunteer Toronto Chapter Coordinator, Matan Volach joined Napoleon Hill Foundation Certified Instructor and Resiliency Expert Tom Cunningham (too tall) to discuss the Foundation and the work they do. The PKD Foundation of Canada is the only national organization solely dedicated to raising funds and awareness for polycystic kidney disease, or PKD.  The mission of the Foundation is to promote programs of research, advocacy, education, support and awareness, in order to discover treatments and an eventual cure for this often devastating disease. Both Jeff and Matan have personal ties to this hereditary disease, which serves as their fuel in the fight to end PKD.  Polycystic kidney disease (PKD for short) is a genetic disease that causes fluid filled cysts to attack the affected organ; predominantly the kidney.    Approximately 1 in 500 – 1000 people are affected by PKD, and there is currently no cure.  Until one is found, PKD will threaten the lives of every generation of every family affected.   It equally affects men, women and children, regardless of age, race, geography or ethnic origin.  Starting as a provincial organization back in 1994 with one Toronto Chapter, the PKD Foundation of Canada incorporated on a national level 6 years ago and now has local Chapters stretching as far west as Vancouver, British Columbia and as far east as Corner Brook Newfoundland. These Chapters serve as the voice and support for the local PKD community, and provide people with a way to stay connected with one another on their PKD journeys.   http://endpkd.ca/
