Dr. Amar Majmundar | Kidney Stones: Genetic Causes and the future of research

What can our genes tell us about kidney disease? Nephraware founder Ishani Sen sits down with Dr. Amar Majmundar, a researcher from Harvard and pediatric nephrologist at Boston Children’s Hospital, to explore what kidney genetics means for patients and families. From genetic testing and childhood kidney stones to kidney donation, emerging treatments, and AI, we discuss how research is helping uncover answers, and what questions remain. Thank you, Dr. Majmundar, for sharing your expertise and making this complex topic more accessible! Watch the conversation and share it with someone interested in kidney health.
