Renal failure and Acute Tubular Necrosis

Our first podcast is about kidneys. To get you in the mood, we recommend you listen to this song. If that doesn’t work, we’re not sure what will.

Renal disease is really common – we were shocked to learn that even famous people’s kidneys sometimes fail. Renal pathology can get pretty complex so we’ve tried to give you the broad strokes of some of the more common pathologies as well as getting a bit more intimate with the details of this particular case.

Enjoy! And if you’ve got any feedback for us, please tell us here.
