Here are 10 randomized trials I'd love to see (share links if they've been done!): 1. Potassium repletion to >4.0 vs 3.5 or 3.0 in hospitalized medical patients 2. Treatment vs observation for hypertensive urgency 3. Iron supplementation (likely IV) vs placebo for anemia of

You encounter a woman with HTN and hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis. First move? Renin and Aldo, Genetic testing, U chloride, Renal artery imaging, better history? The answer is always history. Huge kudos to prior @Rush_Nephrology fellow @MeloneyOliveira for making the diagnosis!

Individualization of targets and all is fine But it’s mostly used by doctors as excuses to - not measure BP properly - escalate BP therapy properly Use RASi and thiazides in your CKD folks Don’t panic over creatinines Stop making excuses! #NephJC

ESCAPE-SALT study showed acute salt intake impaired micro vascular function in retinal vessels that maybe negated by KCl. Super intriguing results @CouncilonHTN #Hypertension24

Great talk by Dr Jennifer Brown that we should not call “confirmatory testing” but “aldosterone suppression testing as they are far from perfect to confirm and results are not consistent. #Hypertension24
