Richard is joined by renal consultant Dr Dabashish Banerjee for a practical deep dive into renal function tests and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

In this episode, they break down what CKD actually is, how it’s diagnosed in primary care, and what the numbers really mean for your patients — beyond just the eGFR.

Through case-based discussion, we explore a new diagnosis of CKD and a patient with worsening renal function, covering interpretation, red flags, progression, and when to escalate or refer.

Clear, clinically focused, and designed for frontline practitioners — this episode will sharpen your confidence in managing kidney disease in everyday practice.

Enjoy the episode.
