Our former PhD student and current principal clinical fellow, Alexandra Gaál Kovalčíková, was interviewed by Veda na dosah about her research in the field of kidney diseases and urinary tract infections. In the interview, you will learn about the impact of accumulated waste, NETosis (neutrophil specific cell death) and extracellular DNA on these diseases, as well as the reasons why women are more susceptible to urinary tract infections and the potential of NETosis research for treatment. You will learn more about the link between urinary tract infections and sepsis and how these factors affect the diagnosis and management of kidney disease.
