For many people, a trip to primary care for an annual checkup is a routine event. Even for vulnerable populations, these trips are key to preventing serious healthcare concerns from arising. Often, the questions and topics addressed in check-ups do not encompass the state of one’s home, leaving a large gap in care and resources that could be provided.
Michael Mauer, MD, Professor of Medicine for the Department of Pediatrics and faculty member with the Division of Pediatric Nephrology, recently worked on an international randomized clinical trial investigating a promising treatment to slow the progression of kidney disease in type 1 diabetic patients.
