Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.   Guest: Aleksandra Kukla, M.D. In 2023, an estimated 14% of all adults in the U.S. or just over 35 million individuals had chronic kidney disease and it’s even more common in the elderly population affecting over 1/3 of those over the age of 65. It represents the 8th leading cause of death in the U.S. It’s now known that chronic kidney disease is associated with systemic inflammation, which is responsible for a variety of complications including atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular disease. Does kidney disease result in inflammation or does inflammation produce renal dysfunction? Are there inflammatory markers we could measure to assess this inflammation? Can we do anything to reduce the inflammation and if so, does it improve patient outcome? These are just some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Aleksandra Kukla, M.D., from the Division of Nephrology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Chronic Kidney Disease as a Systemic Inflammatory Syndrome”.

Second opinions decrease the risk of a wrong diagnosis by half. But too often, getting in to see an expert can be so challenging that patients forego this step and rely on the initial diagnosis. In this conversation, Frank McGillin, CEO of The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic talks about how they’ve simplified the process so that patients can quickly get second opinions by experts at the Cleveland Clinic – virtually. Key Takeaways: Do your homework. Be clear about what question you are asking. Make sure that you get answers to the issue or questions giving you the most angst. See an expert. Don’t just see ANY doctor for a 2nd opinion. Select a doctor who is more experienced than the first in treating patients with YOUR condition. Be loyal to yourself..and your health…not your doctor. If you have more trust and better communication with the doctor offering a 2nd opinion…it is okay to switch your care. You owe it to yourself to get the best care for you.
