Q&A With Fadi Hage From University of Alabama at Birmingham: Patient's Own Cells Could Be Key To Acute Kidney Injury Treatment

Fadi Hage, MD, from the University of Alabama at Birmingham discussed how the treatment has worked in rats so far and what needs to be done before it can be tried on humans as a potential future treatment during the American Heart Association's annual meeting in Orlando.
