Acetazolamide in acute #HeartFailure w volume overload on background high-dose loop diuretics:
👍Increases diuresis & natriuresis
👍More euvolemia after 3 days & discharge

First, the unsung hero's of this trial, done with a little bit over 2 million €, bargain for largest diuretic #RCT ever!
@KatrienTartagl2 & her team, with only 3FTE, they ran the most successful trial in #AHF
@PieterMartensMD & @JeroenDauw who did most fieldwork
👏

How did we come up with the idea? Actually, cause we all love #physiology. Credits go to Prof. Em. Paul Steels who teached us all how kidneys work.
@GLW_UHasselt
65% of sodium is reabsorbed in the proximal tubules, can be up to 85% in #HeartFailure

Why #kidney function does not equal #GFR (and certainly not Cr), making it an elusive target in clinical practice & the latter a poor surrogate outcome, despite its robust correlation with prognosis. Caring for kidneys versus improving Cr/GFR. A thread below:
The kidneys in essence have 3 functions:
1. Glomerular function = Clearance
2. Tubular function = Homeostasis
3. Neurohumoral function
GFR mainly reflects 1. So why do we take GFR (or its estimate Cr) as a surrogate for renal function?

Look at GFR determinants (=N x snGFR).
In stable circumstances, GFR mainly reflects the number of functional nephrons.
Starting from 1 million per kidney at birth, one loses 5,000-10,000 per year with aging: age-related GFR decline <1 mL/min/1.73m²/y
