Listen "What's Wrong with our Kidneys?"
Episode Synopsis
What’s wrong with our kidneys? And what we are doing about it at the University of Sydney.
Professor Steve Chadban reviews the state of the nation in terms of kidney health and discusses the spectrum of kidney disease in the Australian population. He then turns to the lab to explore potential solutions for key problems in kidney health.
From the lab he next moves to the clinic to examine the impact of specific interventions for people with kidney disease. Finally he returns to the population level to observe the impact of treatments for kidney disease on outcomes.
