Pedra nos Rins | Pró-RimCast #02

The June episode of Pró-RimCast is now available! Every month, we'll bring you important health topics for the community, always with plenty of information and expert guests. This month, we discussed a very common issue: kidney stones, popularly known as renal calculi. Approximately 10% to 15% of the world's population suffers from this condition. This percentage may seem small, but the truth is that more than 29 million Brazilians live with the disease. Caused by the accumulation of crystals in the urine, kidney stones are hardened formations in the kidneys or urinary tract. Generally, they are very painful conditions that can reach various sizes and cause other problems, such as urinary tract infections and even kidney failure. To discuss this topic and provide more information to the public, the president of the Pró-Rim Foundation and nephrologist, Dr. Marcos Alexandre Vieira, interviewed the Coordinator of the Pró-Rim nutrition service, Jyana Gomes Morais.
