Hemodialysis: the far side of the moon
Frontiers in Kidney Medicine & Biology's podcast
Join Drs. 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.
