Doctors shouldn't measure BP 😅
We suck at it. 🤐
There are quite significant pre-requisites for it.
All trials did automated BP recording.

Eisei Sohara talking about importance of genetic testing in CKD.
➡️10-15% of so called ADPKD do not have family history yet have PKD1/2 mutation.
➡️ Other genes involved in PKD (IFT40, CFAP47).
➡️10% of dialysis patients with unknown cause actually have genetic cause.

Alisporivir, an original antiviral (HepC) drug had shown to increase in mutant trimers in Alport's syndrome acc. to this paper.
It's also a cyclosporin derivative binding to cyclophilin and not to calcineurin.

Why has @goKDIGO not released any transplant recipient guidelines since 2009?
As per that, HCV needs to be treated with IFN, only if benefits outweigh risks! 🤷♂️
Of course, '2018 tx candidate' and '2022 HepC' guidelines mention DAA for treatment in transplant pts.

[Why] is furosemide susceptible to malabsorption from "gut edema"?
When a patient with heart failure is hospitalized with congestion I often hear "let's use IV furosemide; they're probably not absorbing the PO."
It's a comment unique to furosemide.
But is it accurate?

👉20 - 30% Na reabsorption in TALH.
50% of that occurs paracellularly😮
➖️NKCC2 probably inhibits paracellular reabsorption as well (Mg and Ca loss).
❓️But why didn't ROMK,the main channel responsible for paracellular reabsorption,inhibitors pick up?
Still wondering if we can increase the arsenal.
