Aldo levels of 1682pmol/l with a K of 3.1 on Amlo and Atenolol. Renin not measured properly. Proceed to confirmatory testing and get an accurate ARR? Or proceed to imaging because that is high! #askrenal #hypertension #nephrology

Thank you for everyone’s participation & replies! It goes with what our team was thinking of attempting Pred/Ritux given her youth but for a temporary amount of time to monitor for response! To add complexity this case also had C3 deposition on biopsy…

Wondering what colleagues are doing/what success they’ve seen with ANCA vasculitis requiring dialysis at presentation (eGFR 7, 15/18 glomeruli globally sclerosed, 60% Interstitial fibrosis) in young non child bearing women? #askrenal

1/18 🤔Why does heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) lead to sodium retention? With reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), decreased cardiac output (CO) leads to neurohormonal activation and sodium avidity. If CO is preserved in HFpEF, what's the inciting event?

Going through my pile of study cue cards when I read aloud the question ‘Most common cause of hemoperitoneum’ and my non-doctor husband yells MENSES! I guess we know I’ve been talking out loud too much😅. #sheready #royalcollegestudy #nephrology #homedialysis #marriedlife

Does anyone have a Hb threshold or duration of high-N Hb for anuric dialysis-dep. patients not on EPO that prompts cancer screening? Are smoking, risk OSA, residual renal function or time on dialysis more or less important in this context? #askrenal thanks and Happy Monday!

In someone with stage 3 CKD, persistent proteinuria and a blood pressure just above SPRINT threshold is the priority to maximize the ARB therapy or introduce SGLT2? #askrenal
