Nephrology for the Non-Nephrologist: Proteinuria

In the conclusion of this multipart podcast series, Dr. Benjamin Broome, a nephrologist with Nephrology Associates in Birmingham, Alabama, is joined by Drs. Elizabeth Edwards and Donald DiPette, both of whom are on faculty in the department of internal medicine at the University of South Carolina in Columbia to discuss proteinuria. They will review causes and symptoms, as well as provide information related to the association between proteinuria and later progression of chronic kidney failure. In addition, they will detail treatment options, as well as offer healthcare providers insight into when a nephrology referral may be warranted.
