Kidney stones are a most unpleasant disease. It’s also a dangerous disease, a disease that may cause CKD, a disease that can be linked to a higher cardiovascular risk, and even a potentially deadly disease with concomitant urinary tract infection.

If you’re thinking about these things, you’re on the right track. Learn all the tricks of the trade by listening to David Goldfarb on the Kidney Stone podcast.
