Pastel still life, including a nice vase bought in a shop attached to an auction house, some ranunculus flowers, alstroemeria and an iris. The dried items on the right came from a bag of pot pourri. This was probably sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition.

The future of nephrology
22/🎥Functional imaging studies have enhanced our understanding of physiology & pathology. 📸
However, most techniques are limited by variability in platforms, protocols, and image analysis. Standardization is crucial to unlock their full potential!🤳

10/ Evaluating tubular function through dynamic physiological stress tests is essential for a comprehensive understanding of kidney function. e.g the furosemide stress test assesses renal tubular integrity.

🎭 Bicarbonate makes the picture look cleaner: better pH, more time. But beneath the smoother numbers, the patient hasn't changed. It's the same story, just told in softer colors

Whether dual inhibition APRIL/BAFF offers a longer-term advantage over APRIL-selective therapy remains a key question that only eGFR slope data will answer. APRIL-selective therapy also prevents its action at other receptors (BCMA).
Do you think either has the advantage?
