The debate about kidney function estimation in cancer patients is not over. What is important to remember is that mCrCl is not mGFR
Significant overestimation of renal function by eGFR compared to measured CrCl in people with nonmetastatic RCC (including Cys C-adjusted). Wide implications re: cystectomy cutoffs. #UroSky #NephSky is this part of your practice for people near cutoff? ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/... #MedSky #JCOOP

Metformin is both safe and effective in advanced CKD with its discontinuation porentially increasing mortality
Hey #NephSky & #MedSky 9pm EST 4/15/25, only on #Bluesky Discussion on the use of metformin in advanced CKD. Worried about lactic acidosis 💪?! What's the evidence that an eGFR < 30 ml/min is the ideal cutoff ✂️? Are there benefits to continuing 💊 www.nephjc.com/news/metformin-tte
is contrast nephropathy in the room with us right now? another article showing that contrast nephropathy isn’t a thing I wonder how long these articles will keep getting published, since I kinda thought this was settled 🤷♂️ https://www.jem-journal.com/article/S0736-4679(24)00372-X/abstract #EMIMCC
“Thus, the apparent reduction in the incidence of AKI in the PROTECTION trial may be more an ephemera than a meaningful clinical benefit.” Paul Palevsky #NephSky (Also, read the whole thing)
Dr. Paul Palevsky shares his #CJASN perspective on the results of the Intravenous Amino Acid Therapy for Kidney Protection in Cardiac Surgery (PROTECTION) trial bit.ly/CJASN0678 #ASNCJASN
Dr Taler’s approach to resistant HTN. Evaluate for pseudoresistance, always consider clues for secondary HTN and selectively test, ALWAYS check aldo/renin possibly during initial visit ( if no MRA or amiloride), Use longer acting meds, add SGLT if CKD or DM, MRA of course, then other meds depending
