Aparna Mittal speaks with Dr. Rajan Ravichandran, senior nephrologist and Dr. Arun Gupta, Central Coordinator BPNI on this important topic of dangers of salt and ultra processed food on children's health and its impact on pediatric kidney disease. This session was part of a Kidney Warriors event supported by PatientsEngage.

3. What are the hidden sources of salt that most people are not aware of?
4. What are ultra-processed foods? Is there any data in increase in consumption of UPFs?
5. What are some of the global initiatives to reduce salt intake?
