New Drug Cocktail Increases Beta Cells at Rapid Rate

Andrew Stewart, MD, Director of the Mount Sinai Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism Institute and researchers at Mount Sinai have discovered a novel combination of two classes of drugs that induces the highest rate of proliferation ever observed in adult human beta cells—the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.

How Much Water Should You Drink with Kidney Disease

How much water should you drink with kidney disease

In my last video I talked about how much water someone needs to drink to keep themselves hydrated and I talked about your “wicked smart” kidneys. Of course, I neglected all the people who follow me who have chronic kidney disease and whose kidneys don’t work perfectly. I address that in this video.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”.

The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way. I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.

Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and YouTube sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.

Pancreatic Function Test

diabetes No Comments »

To diagnose pancreatic conditions, there are a number of ways like……

X-rays or imaging tests such as a CT scan or MRI may show whether the pancreas is calcified.

Your doctor will take blood samples and check your stool for excess fat, a sign that the pancreas is no longer making enough enzymes to process fat.

You may be given a pancreatic function test to see how well the pancreas releases digestive enzymes.

You may also be checked for diabetes.

To diagnose acute pancreatitis, your doctor tests your blood to measure two digestive enzymes: amylase and lipase.

High levels of these two enzymes mean you probably have acute pancreatitis.

Transcript:

You may not think about your kidneys, but they play a vital role in your overall health by removing wastes and extra fluids from your blood.

Following your kidney health allows you time to make informed decisions about your care and reduces your chances of serious health problems.

More than one in seven U.S. adults are estimated to have chronic kidney disease…

…yet because early kidney disease usually has no symptoms…

…many people don’t know they have kidney disease or that they are at risk.

Getting tested is the best way to know how your kidneys are doing.

If you are over 60, have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a family history of kidney failure, ask your doctor about getting tested for kidney disease.

While you may be afraid to learn if your kidneys are struggling, being informed about your kidney health means you can take steps to protect them.

Urine and blood tests can tell you if you have kidney disease, and regular check-ups can tell if it is getting worse.

Your doctor can use your tests to develop a personalized care plan that can be updated as needed.

By making healthy lifestyle changes, and managing existing illnesses, you may be able to slow the progression of kidney disease.

Don’t wait until you feel sick. Talk to your doctor about getting tested—and keep following your kidney health.

The kidney numbers, eGFR and uACR, determine the health of our kidneys, as well as our risk for heart disease and the risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) getting worse. The visual guide for determining these risks is the CKD Heat Map. Understanding the role of the kidney numbers and how to read and interpret the CKD Heat Map are difficult concepts to convey to both patients and the general population. Therefore, the National Kidney Foundation has developed three short and engaging animated videos to help explain these complex topics in the simplest terms possible.
