🧮 Aldosterone renin ratio (ARR): a Double-Edged Sword? 🤔
⚠️ Meds, salt intake, posture, hypokalemia, circadian rhythm, assay variability—all impact results! Too many variables!!! #NephJC

MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her.

She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.

Why does nephrotic syndrome (NS) present with periorbital edema?

I generally feel comfortable explaining why patients with NS have edema. But, why does it accumulate around the eyes? And, why doesn’t heart failure present this way?

The definition of contrast nephropathy is a rise in creatinine 2-5 days after contrast administration. Why the 2 day delay? Is it because contrast is a renal grenade that takes a few days to detonate? No.

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!)
