Salt, urine colour, kidney disease and covid19 with Dr Tom Oates 🩺

To celebrate world kidney day I’m delighted to welcome Dr Tom Oates, a Consultant Nephrologist and General Physician at the Royal London Hospital to talk about salt and blood pressure. Curious to find out whether urine colour is related to hydration? Or if gourmet salt is healthier?

Tom sees patients with a wide range of kidney problems and general medical illnesses, and specialises in the care of people with nephrotic syndrome, and those with kidney failure treated by haemodialysis and kidney transplantation. He is interested in technology and innovation in medicine, delivering the East London virtual chronic kidney disease service and researching the use of machine learning in medicine.
