I like this as a mechanistic article examining why #SGLT2i’s work, but I don’t agree that renal fractional reserve can be used to identify patients most likely to benefit from SGLT2i since I think almost everybody with DM2 would benefit from SGLT2i #nephsky academic.oup.com/ndt/advance-...

Glad to have contributed to this study, which has a very relevant clinical point: the BP lowering effect of SGLT2i of 4-5 mmHg is independent of renal function #nephsky #sglt2i

Still interested in the mechanisms of #SGLT2i? I did a video with #Vumedi going through our study on the effects of empagliflozin on fluid and electrolyte balance. check it out: www.vumedi.com/video/fluid-... Link for the studies 👇 #medsky #nephsky

Getting an early start on this years christmas decorations. My wife won’t let me put it up at home, so I guess I’ll bring it to work. #Nephsky #medsky

I think everyone is rightly sceptical if the large effect size, but given the high risk CVD risk and low cost/risk with fish oil, I feel it is too reactionary to just say “we need more trials”. We always need more trials, but they’re not likely to be forthcoming any time soon. #NephSky

REMODEL is fantastic demonstration of what we can do with collaborative effort to perform what Kathy Tuttle calls mechanistic clinical trials! Semaglutide provides kidney protection via improvements in inflammation and microvascular function. Lots of data to parse going forward. #KidneyWk

Nothing works in dialysis - except fis oil. Truly amazing data from the PISCES. Should we begin perscribimg fish oil supplements to all our dialysis patients? In spite of my somewhat sceptical priors, I think the answer should be “yes” #NephSky #KidneyWk #nephrology

Check out our new paper! SGLT2i lower BP and the effect seems to be independent of baseline kidney function. A clinically relevant point, and something to take in to consideration when prescribing. #NephSky #MedSky #Hypertension #SGLT2i
