“Kidney health is the greatest unmet need in diabetes care” Prof. Peter Schwartz, IDF President
Millions go undiagnosed & untreated, too often leading to CKD. Declarations matter, but action at national & local levels is key
It was a pleasure to welcome
Schwartz at our #UNGA side event yesterday
🌍 History made! For the first time, kidney care is on the global health agenda. #WHA78 adopted a landmark resolution recognizing kidney health in the fight against #NCDs.
👏 Thanks to Guatemala and the global kidney community for making this possible!

Lets learn together ! @divyaveerssneph.bsky.social @dilushiwijay.bsky.social @acidosistubular.bsky.social @saiachi1.bsky.social @kajareeg.bsky.social @drsumanbehera.bsky.social
4) Ileal conduit. Not that common, but I had 2 consults for them so
👉When urine ⬆️ in NH4Cl empties into a section of the ileum, NH4 is reabsorbed through the Na-H antiporter of the ileum. Bile acid malabsorption may also cause diarrhea.
👉In sigmoid diversion, Cl is absorbed in exchange for HCO3.
3) Hyperkalemia of any cause including ⬇️ volume and meds. Technically, this is an acquired hyperkalemic RTA, but it does not 🟰 hypoaldosteronism.
👉HyperK impairs ammoniagenesis in the PT
👉K competes with NH4 for reabsorption in the TAL via NKCC2 ⬇️ medullary NH3 gradient for NH4 excretion.
1) Compensation for a respiratory alkalosis. Patients with cirrhosis may have a chronic respiratory alkalosis. In this abstract from @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social and others at ASN Kidney week, 60% of people with cirrhosis and a metabolic acidosis had a primary respiratory alkalosis (pH > 7.35).

6/n Now check this, folks!
Creatinine between 1.8-2
Falling hemoglobin!
No active bleed!
What do you think about such a scenario?
#ECNeph #NephSky
@divyaveerssneph.bsky.social @myadla.bsky.social
Wouldn’t opt for biopsy #ECNeph
5/n Look at his graft function…
Are you ok with his creatinine levels?
Do you do a graft biopsy at 2 weeks with creatinine of 1.8 mg/dl?
#ECNeph #NephSky
@divyaveerssneph.bsky.social @myadla.bsky.social
4/n Underwent kidney Tx
ABOi: MIL donor
Do you agree with Swap encouragement or ABOi empowerment ?
Real world data of ABOi
Please share.

3/n Proceeding directly to lab investigations…
#ECNeph #NephSky
@divyaveerssneph.bsky.social @myadla.bsky.social
2/n Isn’t this something you encounter frequently in your practice?
Negative history. High creatinine. Etiology unclear.
Share common causes of kidney failure in your region.
#ECNeph #NephSky
@divyaveerssneph.bsky.social @myadla.bsky.social
1/n Let's jump into the case details:
40+ YO man underwent kidney Tx.
He had bilateral contracted kidneys at presentation.
