ProHealth Consults is a physician-led kidney health education channel.
The channel previously featured educational videos from physicians across several medical specialties. The channel is now focused exclusively on kidney health and nephrology.
All new content is presented on camera by Dr. Osama Ibrahim, a nephrologist and dialysis specialist, and recorded directly in English using his own voice.
Topics include chronic kidney disease (CKD), eGFR, creatinine, protein in urine, foamy urine, blood pressure, kidney failure warning signs, medications, dialysis, and other kidney health questions.
Our goal is to provide clear, practical, evidence-based kidney health education and help viewers understand their kidney health and when medical evaluation may be needed.
This channel provides general medical education and does not replace individual medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your healthcare professional.

“I just didn’t know. If I’d known, I would have said something.”
James, 67, felt dizzy 45 minutes into his dialysis session. He told himself it would pass and said nothing. 20 minutes later, the alarm went off. His blood pressure had dropped to 70/40, and he passed out in the chair.
His body had been warning him for half an hour.
In my new video, I walk you through 7 symptoms during dialysis you should never ignore, the exact words to say to your nurse, and my 5-second rule. 👇

🦵 Swollen or restless legs
⚡ Painful night cramps
