Dialysis Patient Citizens

IG Live – November 1st: November’s Kidney Questions for the Doctor has DPC Education Center’s healthcare consultant, Dr. Velma Scantlebury, answering many patients’ questions on renal health. She discusses the ins-and-outs of the transplant list, your parathyroid, and transplant drugs.  

Dr. Scantlebury goes in-depth on the ins-and-outs of the transplant list, discussing everything from getting on the list before even beginning dialysis, the process of moving through the transplant list, and several other questions you don’t want to miss. She also explains transplant drugs and what the difference is between generic and brand name versions. She also gives an in-depth overview of the parathyroid gland, what its role in the body is, and what happens if it is overactive. Give us a listen, and if you have your own questions you’d like to have the doctor answer, tune in for our Live events on both Instagram and Facebook: 

  • IG Live @patientcitizens the first Wednesday of each month, 12:30pm EST 
  • Facebook Live www.facebook.com/patientcitizens the third Wednesday of each month, 12:30pm EST
