When was the last time you were paged about a serum Cl- level? Probably never.
Despite being the most abundant anion in the body, Cl- is under appreciated
🔥Here’s why it matters (esp in heart failure!)

as far as I know the fish oil craze started with bad math over an Icelandic or Greenland study, and has been a cesspit of bad science since then and this finding reminds me of what my mom said:
if it is to good to be true, it is

Agreed - already have some proactive DMI folks on Finerenone - has been safe and lowers proteinuria in my hands

We are 2 for 2 with positive trials so far. LIBERATE-D shows benefit with a conservative vs conventional dialysis strategy in AKI-D. The difference in mortality is concerning though? Simultaneous pub 👇🏾 #kidneywk

For finerenone in type 1 DKD I think albuminuria is OK
For Atacicept - this is preliminary data which gets them accelerated FDA approval and a few months of making 💰until the GFR slope analysis comes through?

While I agree, here in Australia the drugs will not get funded by the govt without the harder endpoints unless of course the price is okay which of course is not going to happen. It’s exciting to see all these new therapeutics but unless the cost comes down I doubt we will see them in Australia soon

Small trial of lysine chloride in euvolemic patients with heart failure. Median furosemide dose was 80mg. Chloride supplementation reduced plasma volume and improved diuretic response. Interesting but maybe not the population I would use it in? #kidneywk

Interesting study in pts w/T1D w/ or w/out flozins and comp. With healthy controls. Less glomerulomegaly on routine biopsies. Flozins impacted metabolic transcripts throughout the nephron - ie the effect wasn’t isolated to the proximal tubule. Showing they are powerful metabolic drugs. #nephsky
