Mashup Score: 0Eliminating Racial Inequities in Kidney Health: Much More Than Revising Estimating Equations | Annals of Internal Medicine - 2 year(s) ago
Bundy and colleagues examined the predictive performance of estimated glomerular filtration rate equations with and without the variable for Black race. The editorialist notes potential harms of re…

Well said- unpleasant implied racism (unfounded) when ppl bash original eGFR equations. Were scientifically developed but limitations of population sampling. Focus energy & efforts on fixing the broken healthcare system & its inequities https://t.co/HtBN5VyyZD @AnnalsofIM https://t.co/yOwdwcwQzV

A strategy with early treatment of a fixed-dose quadruple quarter-dose combination achieved and maintained greater blood pressure lowering compared with the common strategy of starting monotherapy. This trial demonstrated the efficacy, tolerability, and simplicity of a quadpill-based strategy.

Nice study #hypertension control with “quadpill” (low doses irbesartan, amlodipine, indapamide, bisoprolol) vs irbesartan monotherapy. Reminiscent of multitarget therapy in GN- benefits of each drug class minus side effects that come with high doses. https://t.co/oLbm0dKCV0

Interesting to contrast the outcry surrounding race-adjusted eGFR in the U.S. with the 0% reporting of eGFR in low-income countries 😢 @KidneyNews https://t.co/EfLDjcSfh8 https://t.co/ppF1oKHfma

Mashup Score: 0The costs outweigh the benefits: seeing side-effects online may decrease adherence to statins - BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making - 2 year(s) ago
Background The prevalence of medical misinformation on the Internet has received much attention among researchers concerned that exposure to such information may inhibit patient adherence to prescriptions. Yet, little is known about information people see when they search for medical information and the extent to which exposure is directly related to their decisions to follow physician…

Mashup Score: 2Noninvasive Diagnosis of PLA2R-Associated Membranous Nephropathy - 3 year(s) ago
Background and objectives Kidney biopsy is the current gold standard to diagnose membranous nephropathy. Approximately 70%–80% of patients with primary membranous nephropathy have circulating anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibodies. We previously demonstrated that in proteinuric patients with preserved eGFR and absence of associated conditions ( e.g., autoimmunity, malignancy, infection, drugs,…

More evidence that kidney biopsy can be abandoned if there is overwhelming clinical suspicion for #MembranousNephropathy (preserved eGFR, no associated conditions or diabetes, (+)anti-PLA2R >20 RU/ml or positive IF) 👏👏 https://t.co/6h8Uxs7MUI https://t.co/MHlaZgfOmT

Can someone at @NIDDKgov please fix this! Was in discussion with PhD colleague & he pointed me to this website "see, the NIDDK defines stage 1 with proteinuria"... Definitions for #CKD stage 1 & 2 should NOT include persistent proteinuria #NephTwitter https://t.co/v0Bup51fNt https://t.co/4FQVdFxr6B

Mashup Score: 3Kidney Function Is Not Related to Brain Amyloid Burden on PET Imaging in The 90+ Study Cohort - 3 year(s) ago
Cognitive decline is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD). While the evidence of vascular cognitive impairment in this population is robust, the role of Alzheimer’s pathology is unknown. We evaluated serum cystatin C-estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), brain amyloid-β positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, and cognitive function in 166 participants from The 90+ Study. Mean age was…

The endothelial cells which form the inner cellular lining of the vasculature can act as non-professional phagocytes to ingest and remove emboli and aged/injured red blood cells (RBCs) from circulation. We previously demonstrated an erythrophagocytic phenotype of the brain endothelium for oxidatively stressed RBCs with subsequent migration of iron-rich RBCs and RBC degradation products across the…
