Signs and Symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease and Hyperkalemia | Your Kidneys Your Health

It can be tough to know how to talk about chronic kidney disease signs and symptoms with providers, and it can also be tough for providers to encourage discussions in the doctor’s office.

We’re talking about how both patients and providers can better understand the signs and symptoms of chronic kidney disease and hyperkalemia, which can lead to an increase in confidence for everyone when it comes to discussing kidney health together.
This video goes into the details of:
• How patients know if they may have chronic kidney disease
• What types of testing patients should know about (eGFR and UACR)
• What to discuss together if a patient does receive a diagnosis for chronic kidney disease
• Diagnosis and management of hyperkalemia
• And more!
Please check out my full video for details.
