  • Summary

  • This podcast is my personal exploration into podcasting and the field of urology, but in some episodes I am blessed with a guest and in this episode we have a great one. 

    Tom Bergman is a physician's assistant (PA-C) who works closely with the the urologists within my practice. He has gained special expertise working in kidney stone prevention strategies. 

    In this episode Tom and I review 1 what are kidney stones and why do they form, 2. What are some basic dietary recommendations to prevent kidney stones, 3. What are 24 hour urine tests and what abnormalities in the urine do we find and, finally, 4. We briefly review the most common abnormalities on the 24 hour urines and how we treat them.

    I think you are going to learn a ton listening to this episode with Tom Bergman. Thank you, Tom, for sitting down for this conversation.
