Episode notes

You're listening to season 2 of the Penny's Hill Practice podcast!

In this episode, Dr Geoff Hamp and Dr Sam McGinley discuss Chronic Kidney Disease.

Chronic Kidney Disease, or CKD, is a common condition and can affect anyone. It can get worse over time and eventually it can cause the kidneys to stop working. We discuss the stages of CKD, how we test for it, how we treat it, what you can do to help prevent it or stop it from worsening, and acute kidney injury.

The 11th of March was World Kidney Day and this year's theme is "Living Well With Kidney Disease". Have a look at their site to find out more about the great work they do.
