Michigan Matters: Kidney health and what's new at movie theatres

Michigan Matters talks kidney health

With one in eight adults at risk for kidney disease, Dr. Silas Norman, a University of Michigan doctor specializing in kidney health, and Sandy Baruah, President and CEO of Detroit Regional Chamber, appear on Michigan Matters to discuss the importance of kidney health.

Norman, incoming chair of the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan, also discusses how adults with other issues, like diabetes, heart disease, have an even higher risk of kidney issues.
