With Dr Sagar Panse… In today’s episode Dr. Sagar Panse joins our host, Dr. Bola Sogade, to discuss a variety of topics involving the kidneys. Dr. Sagar Panse is a nephrologist at Central Georgia Kidney Specialists located in Macon, Ga. As a nephrologist, he focuses on the functions of the kidneys and managing the complications that arise with kidney issues. Dr. Panse explains the difference between a nephrologist and a urologist.

Next, Dr. Panse dives into a discussion of the normal functions of the kidneys. These include filtering waste product, regulating blood pressure, and vitamin D metabolism. This discussion leads to the next topic, acute kidney failure. Treatment and prevention of kidney failure are also discussed in today’s episode. To end this informative episode, the two doctors discuss all things related to kidneys and pregnancy. Dr. Sagar Panse emphasizes the importance of discussing kidney health with an OBGYN when planning to become pregnant to mitigate risks. #kidneys #nephrology #nephrologist #urology #kidneyfailure #renalfailure #uti #kidneydisease #hypertension #acidosis #dialysis #creatinine #preeclampsia #eclampsia #womenshealth #obgyn #pyelonephritis 00:25) Intro of Dr. Sagar Panse (01:35) Central Georgia Kidney Specialist (02:14) Nephrology and urology (05:40) Acute kidney failure (12:48) Treatment of acute kidney failure (16:30) Anatomy of kidneys (20:30) Prevention strategies to avoid kidney disease (21:50) Tests to check kidney health (24:25) Kidney disease while pregnant (26:15) Changes in kidneys during pregnancy (28:25) Symptoms and treatment of UTI
