Episode Details

Doctors in Boston just pulled off a medical milestone: the first-ever pig kidney transplant into a human. But this breakthrough comes alongside a growing global health crisis — a mysterious kidney disease called CKDu, striking young workers in hot, agricultural zones from Central America to South Asia and now Texas. Healthy adults with no diabetes or hypertension are suddenly losing kidney function, often presenting with dark urine and avoiding care due to immigration fears. Experts suspect heat, dehydration, and toxins like pesticides or polluted water may be culprits. With no cure yet, early detection through simple blood and urine tests is critical for those in high-risk jobs — before it’s too late.
