In the twelfth episode of Sepsis Voices with Dr Ron, Dr Ron Daniels is joined by Deborah Duval, managing editor of Kidney Care UK’s quarterly magazine, Kidney Matters, and head of the charity’s Kidney Kitchen.
As a Type 1 diabetic living with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and two-time sepsis survivor, Deborah is uniquely placed to speak to the interrelationship of the conditions, and what our organisations are doing to work together to improve sepsis outcomes for at-risk patient groups.
In this is episode, released in time for Diabetes Awareness Week (10th-16th June), the pair discuss:
- The differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and the treatments for these conditions
- Deborah’s organ transplant journey – including connecting with donor families through mutual consent
- Risk factors that predispose kidney patients and diabetics to infection, and therefore sepsis
- Deborah’s sepsis experiences, which resulted in life support
- What UKST and Kidney Care UK are doing in partnership to raise awareness of sepsis
- How sepsis can result in acute kidney injury, which needs to be treated with dialysis
- The amazing work of Kidney Care UK to support people with CKD and acute kidney injury
