This month's chat was a webinar with our Kidney Experts. Our panel for this highly interactive, free, and virtual webinar included Core Kidney experts such as Dr. Anjay Rastogi, Dr. Molly Sarkar, Dr. Kristine Sarmosyan, and Dr. Amin Motaref. Some of the most important topics discussed in the chat were how to preserve kidney health once diagnosed with kidney disease, expert insights into the overall landscape of kidney disease, and the kidney transplant process. We hope you will join us for our monthly chats in the future and, as always, reach out with any questions you may have.
