À propos de cet audio
Living with vasculitis—particularly GPA, MPA, and EGPA—is a winding journey filled with trial and error, especially when it comes to kidney damage, a silent but deadly threat. This podcast episode emphasizes practical advice from Laure Larkin, a GPA patient with severe kidney damage, and her wife Lynette. They delve into real-life strategies to manage kidney health and the importance of the HEAT Kit—a vital resource for emergency medical situations. Expert tips include monitoring symptoms divided into critical (red) and concerning (yellow) zones, and the essential advocacy needed when dealing with uninformed medical specialists. With insights on breakthrough treatments like avacopan (Tavneos) and the realities of quick-onset kidney crises, this episode is packed with expert advice and authentic patient perspectives to empower anyone facing the unpredictable swings of vasculitis.
