This week Lori and Stephen visit with Sue Vogel, renal administrator, nephrology nurse, and board member of Renal Support Network, to discuss calciphylaxis, a condition affecting kidney patients and transplant patients.
You may be saying, “CalciphyWHAT?” Calciphylaxis (cal-si-fa-lax-sis) is a difficult-to-pronounce disease process that is very important for patients to know about. It involves a calcium and phosphorus imbalance in the body.
Listen to your favorite online radio show to learn about the signs and symptoms of calciphylaxis and what you can do about it.
You can also listen to the podcast on iTunes.
