In this episode, we’re chatting about a condition that’s been on our radar for a few years now, and is both incredibly challenging and frustrating to manage - and that’s cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy, or as it’s better known, Alabama rot.

CRGV first appeared in the UK in 2012, and we’ve seen cases pop up every year since. It’s difficult to predict, still poorly understood and comes with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, as nurses and technicians, we play a vital role in identifying it early, educating our clients, and supporting our patients throughout their hospitalisation. And we’ll be chatting all about how to do just that throughout today’s episode.
