54 Hyperthyroidism and azotaemia

 

This week we talk to Hattie Syme, professor of internal medicine here at the RVC about hyperthyroidism and azotaemia.  Hattie’s main research is in chronic kidney disease, hypertension and hyperthyroidism and thankfully we could speak to her today touching on a couple of her favourite topics. We hope to get her back soon to the podcast.
