Chapters Video MMS-D nephrology is the study of kidney disease were responsible for dialysis, both acute and chronic dialysis in the country. We do hypertension management. We also do manage metabolically kidney stones, and I think our clinic is maybe a little bit different. In its multidisciplinary nature, we combine our research efforts and our clinical trial efforts with the patient care and and that level of care than is augmented by these other activities that we do. Why State University Metabolic Stone Clinic Watts started in collaboration with urology to serve our patients with kidney stones. There are not many places where a nephrologist of the dietitian are solely devoted for stone prevention, and that makes a huge difference. There are a lot of studies on medical management of kidney stones. We identify what other risk factors the studies have shown that if we can correct those risk factors over a period of 34 years, the incidents of recurrence goes down by 70%. We actually emphasize and show them on paper where the problem is and visually seeing those these factors makes a huge difference in the way they they they take those those treatments into consideration and follow up of the treatments that important on that. So our clinic now offers clinical trials of novel cutting edge therapies For almost all gla Mary ular diseases. We treat everyone with standard of care and then on top of the standard of care. We add the novel therapy to see if we can improve on the standard of care so nobody in the clinical trial will be untreated. I think that's really important. We're starting to see some of our trials have positive results, and so that's very exciting. These cases air really very interesting, and we could help the patients to.
