What if your patient’s blood sugar looks “okay,” but their kidneys are already under attack?

In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie uncovers the common progression of kidney damage fueled by insulin resistance and elevated glucose. Most practitioners miss the early clues. And most patients never feel symptoms… until it’s too late.

Discover the early biochemical markers, the overlooked tests, and the clinical action steps you can take now to prevent progression to fibrosis, dialysis, and even renal failure.
