The "Brilliant" Kidney 

Dr. Chertow is hilarious. I’m so captivated by his presence. His constant questions to the audience really keeps everyone engaged, he’s soft spoken which contributes to this kind, approachable demeanour, and his subtle humour makes him such a great lecturer. I bet he’s a great doctor.

We (me and my kidneys) are thankful for this.

You might imagine that at least a small handful of medical people caught the drinking competition promotion on the radio yet none of them knew enough about the possible effect to call up and put a stop to it.

What a great presenter, especially for a layman like myself.

WHAT A LOVELY MAN.

having just this past year been diagnosed with CKD stage 3 and having only 1 kidney, I read the comments first and have yet to watch the video. At 66 plus it's hard to learn and comprehend a disease of this type for an organ (or organs as most people have 2) so vital to our health in so many ways is how I will spend the remainder of my 4th quarter of life. But here I am and this is God's will and I don't have to understand, all I need to do is learn to deal with it.

Kidneys are part of the excretory system and part of the urinary system They also have to do with feelings of security (lack of feeling secure, fearful, is what affects the kidneys) and they act as the furnace in the body.

I'm halfway through and amazed. I do wonder if I'll hear about how lymphatics work into all this (and how their malfunction contributes to fluid in the interstitial space)

i fell asleep watching jackcepticeye wtf happend i just woke up to this video

I could listen to him all day long. What a great teacher.

This is an amazing video! Thank you Dr. Glenn Chertow and thank you Stanford!

I was only going to watch five or 10 minutes while I put away groceries, but somehow I ended up listening to the whole two hours. I really didn’t have any intention to learn about kidneys but this video was next on auto play. His presentation kept me engaged 😌.

Thank you for this, I learned some more about my kidneys.

Some friends have tried to help themselves. God Bless Themselves and their Passion for life through their caring and sharing

Every organ is important. Surprisingly, we only have one heart which just means it is very robust.

Thanks to stand Ford hospital my youngest daughter is a kidney disease and a transplant in standford hospital thank to all doctor who help us godbless

Great to understand what the kidneys do in a body, thank you.

I don’t know why I’m watching this and I can’t stop

You need the correct salt with all the minerals to benefit the body. The hospital has processed food for sale including sweet stuff, pop. that’s criminal.

I think HTN is always secondary . They might be due to stiffness of blood vessel, over production of hormones like cortisol and aldostreon, polycythemia, low level of vit d , high renin , renal stenosis , pulmonary issue or even high cholostrol and lot more .but their must be a underline cause

Excellent presentation!

This guy is good!

즐거운 수업 같아요. 감사합니다. ㅎㅎ

Charging your water with tetrahertz frequencies you cells will be happy.

you are a brilliant dr. not to butter your toast on both sides but i loved listening. now for the big question thing. okay so i have long term severe anemia. and when i get my menses they get severely heavy and I faint when i stand. so im wondering if there's circumstances where "the bloodshed from menses isn't severe enough to activate the emergency response" is a bit off because i almost never urinate during menses. (yes me and my dr are looking into this) im just curious because I have seen other people like me with similar experiences.

if you loose 20 lb for one you loose miles of blood vessels. That should in most people bring down the blood pressure by sheer shortening of the vascular network physics. Plus many times, the excess fat surrounding the blood vessels CAUSE and maintain a slightly elevated vasoconstriction on many arteries thus increasing peripheral resistance. This is all published research

Thank you, again.

We all need to fast. Dammit :] QC

Cool, I once asked an ED doctor in a café his favourite organ. his answer? The kidney.... why? "Think of where the adrenals are.. the kidney controls everything!"

finally found my MEDICINE ASMR

thank u so much for this awesome lecture...

Depends, the kind of salt must be considered...three major types, one very bad for kidneys..Morton salt..must avoid, period. Morton salt is so processed, including tiny pieces of glass..zero minerals..the other two salts have 92 minerals , is urine the bodies Gold ?

It won't cast to my television in more than 360p, so I can read the diagrams. *frown emoji* ... Actually, it's in 480p but the picture isn't clear.

Amazing 🔥

Amazing word !

Sir you are awesome!!

Amazing Brilliant lecture . you broke it down simple easy to understand . AND Funny making it FUN to learn. Not dry and borring. Thanks I learned a lot! You get an A+ and exstra credits for the jokes!

shout out to all my EABS friends!

A wonderful lecture 🎯 I would hope he would be invited back to tell us what he has learned in the intervening time.

The kidneys are in the urinary system.

Step one: Stop eating sugar and anything from grains. That includes rice. Step two: Take vitamin C and some magnesium or eat huge amounts of veg. Step three: Make sure you have a balance between omega 3 and 6. (No junk food) That should fix most health problems.

You have my maximum respect Dr Igudia, I am now negative from Hepatitis B virus after I did the test, I wonder what might have become of me it I didn't get the herbal cure From your RU-vid channel. God bless you sir.

Do trace minerals matter? ...Vit. K2?

Kidney man. You won my A

Um, I'd like a full version of the song at 31:19

Why do my teeth/gums hurt when I can't pee due to a clogged cathether... and why is there a sandy substance clogging my catheter every 5 days?

wow 12 years

Thank you for being the dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate doctor that you are, you are more honest than I imagined, thank you so much Dr Igudia RU-vid channel for curing my genital herpes Infection, you are amazing

@ghaffasa Thank you.

I would argue the kidneys have more of an intelligence than the brain . As the brain is an antennae processing all the bits of information of surroundings inside and out . Leaving the information for the organ system to use its own intelligence to supply a best function to the whole . The kidneys I have been forced to recently get in touch with and I have apologized for ignoring them for so long in maintenence and also getting information from them no doubt . I believe there is much too the listen to your heart and listen to your gut which I realte to the kidneys operating as dual processors and the gut becomes the screen the information is read and legible to the brain . So the brain is only processing the information the organs have created . Anyway yes its true we can not live without the relay center or brain , but we must really began to focus on the intelligence of the organs as well . If one is in tune enough see what happens if you began to converse with them directly , might seem outside the box exersise but worth the awkwardness . Cheers !!

@ytimg62 *fast. Dammit.

if homeostasis exists in our body why then it gets failed. i guess there must be a research on fluid mechanics in humans. any way your lecture was realy a game of electorlytes. was a great experiance to listen......GOD BLESS UR FAMILY

I’m a physician; it’s difficult for patients to listen to an obese physician as in this presentation- we need to get our “house” in order too.

👍👍👍👍👍

I’m just mad about nephrons! Nephrons are mad about me. That’s why they call me Mellow Yellow....

Only 8000 views? That´s a shame...

Science madness:)

intesting

the kidney is in what system of the human body?

6!

Neat

Dam what should I eat

I only have 1 kidney

imagine knowing so much about the human body and looking like this

I thank #Dr Ofenmu on RU-vid for your perfect and honest work. You were able to restore my health and sex life with the help of your Roots Herbs. I pray that God will give you more wisdom to continue your perfect works to help others as you have helped me.

maybe endocrine? not sure to be honest

Keep on the great work dr akpamu may god continue to strengthen you for helping me beat this deadly hsv2 virus from my system permanently !

Your generosity towards my health issues is incomparable,you assured me of getting healed and here I am strong and healthy. Thank you Dr Ofenmu on RU-vid. I will let the world know about your kind gesture..

The speaker appears to be overweight with a double chin . He is a kidney specialist ? We should ask him about his lifestyle and eating habits …..

YAY CHIDNAZ

Is the title implying the kidneys aren't brilliant?

@ytimg62 LOL

Ha ha ha. Never a problem

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The introduction was done by the finest Stanfurd lounge lizard. Then, we had a stand up comic do the talk. And you people wonder why the rest of the country doesn’t trust anything coming out of the Gecko Farm? You all are definitely not Hopkins material.

Uhhhuhhh uhhhhhh ummmmmmmm ummmmmm uhhhhhhh

Isn't God a genius?

This lecture could be a lot shorter if he didn't spend the whole time trying to be a stand up comedian.
