Vou fazer hemodiálise. E agora? | Pró-RimCast #28

Receiving a diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease generates fears, doubts, and insecurities. Many things can change in the patient's life, and a series of clinical protocols begin. Today's program will seek to clarify the main doubts that the patient may have and the possibilities they will have to cope with the disease. To discuss some of these, we invited nephrologist Dr. Stephanie Emanuela Araújo Santana (CRM-SC 19899 | RQE nº 19145) to the Pró-RimCast. 🔔🔔 Subscribe to the channel and activate notifications so you don't miss any episodes of Pró-RimCast!
