Peter Kotanko from the Renal Research Institute and Nicholas Selby from the University of Nottingham for their discussion about hemodialysis, one of the main treatments for kidney failure, but also a treatment that can have adverse consequences. Some of these relate to the 'stress' that dialysis can exert on the cardiovascular system, which in turn affects the delivery of blood to different organs. We will discuss how this happens, what it means for patients, and what can be done to address this.2022-01-2628 minFrontiers in Kidney Medicine & Biology's podcastKidney disease in our changing world: challenges and opportunitiesIn this episode, Dr. Peter Kotanko, MD FASN, Research Director from Renal Research Institute is joined by Drs.

SCI used as a surrogate marker of active MM would facilitate detection of sarcopenia trends, offering opportunities to implement interventions that might delay, and halt or even reverse such deleterious dynamics. SCI can be easily integrated and used as a first-line tool in complement to visceral proteins (i.e., albumin) to monitor muscle mass changes in clinical routine.2021-08-2538 minFrontiers in Kidney Medicine & Biology's podcastFrom dialysis to Mount Everest and backIn this session join Drs.
