Food and nutrition insecurity in chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be difficult to detect, even when patients appear clinically stable. To help highlight this challenge, Dr. Jeanette Andrade presents a case from her research illustrating how social and financial stressors affected a dialysis patient’s dietary intake and food access. Dr. Andrade is an Associate Professor and the Director of the Master’s in Dietetic Internship Program at the University of Florida, and this patient case was part of her presentation at the 2026 National Kidney Foundation Spring Clinical Meeting.

Guest: Harish Gagneja, MD


Colorectal cancer is highly preventable, but many eligible patients remain unscreened due to common barriers and misconceptions. Tune in to hear Dr. Harish K. Gagneja share practical, patient-centered strategies to improve screening rates through education, choice, and reducing obstacles to care. Dr. Gagneja is a board-certified gastroenterologist in Austin, Texas.

Guest: Abdallah Geara, MD


IgA nephropathy is often asymptomatic and frequently identified through incidental lab findings, making timely recognition challenging. Hear Dr. Abdallah Geara discuss key diagnostic strategies that may help optimize long-term care for this disease. Dr. Geara is an Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine and the Clinical Director of the Glomerular Disease Program at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and he spoke at the 2026 National Kidney Foundation Spring Clinical Meeting.

Guest: Deborah Clegg, PhD


Not all potassium is created equal, especially in the context of chronic kidney disease (CKD). That’s why Dr. Deborah Clegg joins us to explore the key differences between potassium from whole foods and additives, emphasizing how bioavailability impacts serum potassium levels and hyperkalemia risk. She also examines how kidney function, comorbidities, medications, and metabolic factors all influence potassium tolerance. Not only is Dr. Clegg the Vice President for Research and a Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in El Paso, but she also spoke about this topic at the 2026 National Kidney Foundation Spring Clinical Meeting.
