Stacey Sager has a behind-the-scenes look at Northwell Health s massive storage distribution center and how they are preparing to vaccinate millions in the Tri-State.
Nutcracker Syndrome causes incapacitating abdominal, flank and pelvic pain, and since Nutcracker Pheonomena is rare, patients are frequently misdiagnosed.
Nutcracker Phenomena is an abnormality in the vein that drains the left kidney (the left renal vein), which gets squeezed between a few neighboring blood vessels, causing pressure to build in the kidney.
That pressure is what causes the painful symptoms. Northwell Health Transplant Center Director Dr. Lewis Teperman used a holiday prop to explain the analogy.
