It’s National Kidney Awareness Month and we’re getting back to kidney basics! Most individuals don't think about their kidneys on a daily basis, but those two small bean-shaped organs are vital for those with kidney disease or who have had a kidney transplant. How do kidneys work? How do you know when they aren’t working? How does dialysis work? Can chronic kidney disease progression be prevented? These are just some of the things we’ll discuss with Dr. Amar Patel, Nephrologist with Balboa Nephrology, and Cynthia Polis, Care Management & Education Nurse with Balboa United.

This month ReMend Mentors get together for a deeply personal conversation about being on dialysis and how it affected their feelings about their own bodies as well as their intimate relationships.

Our January broadcast featured ReMend Mentors in conversation with Dr. Terry Behrend, Chief Medical Officer for Balboa Nephrology discussing dialysis and arteriovenous (AV) Fistula Care and sharing their own experiences with fistulas and grafts.

The December conversation focused on A Potpourri of Kidney Care and Holiday Cheer. December is all about gratitude and gratefulness as we move into the New Year. Check out this webinar to hear ReMend Mentor stories, learn about resources, and tips about the kidney disease journey. We hope you enjoy this mix of incredible guests and get into the holiday spirit

Kidney Conversations with ReMend took place on November 18th at 10 a.m., the topic of discussion focused on the kidney-friendly diet and how you can still enjoy holiday meals. ReMend Mentor, and Registered Dietician Serena Cueva was featured and provided a ton of helpful info about foods you can enjoy not only for the holidays but day-to-day while on a kidney-friendly diet.

The holiday season can be stressful when managing chronic kidney disease and even more so during a pandemic. We'll discuss how stress can affect our well-being along with coping tips and techniques for kidney patients, their loved ones and caregivers. Our special guest will be Alex Thibeault, Licensed Clinical Psychologist from Sharp Kidney & Pancreas Transplant Program.

Once a patient is diagnosed with End-Stage Renal Disease, there are many things to consider - including financial responsibilities. We've scratched the surface of this topic in our last session. We'll cover Medicare & Medigap Advantage Plans and more. The timing couldn't be more perfect with October 1st being the date all health plans share their new annual benefits packages.
