1/ Monitoring eGFR in CKD is almost a reflex🦵!
But how did we get here?
What are we trying to assess?
And how does eGFR help?
#NephMadness #primarycare pits GFR vs proteinuria in CKD
In this tweetorial let's take a closer look at GFR
But first, who has your vote?#NephTwitter

2/ The concept of GFR as a marker of kidney function dates way back to the 1950s. (Apologies to the tubules, we do❤️you!)
But how could we measure GFR??
It was suggested that if a solute had certain characteristics its plasma clearance would = GFR
Let's briefly recap🤓

3/ The solution, INULIN, a non-toxic exogenous molecule, came through studies on aglomerular fish! #AnimalHouse
INULIN renal clearance= measured GFR
It is considered the GOLD standard🏆
But it comes with baggage
🧳It's expensive
🧳It's tedious
🧳It's hardly available anymore

Is a GFR of zero always = to kidney failure?
How important are glomeruli?
Are we secretly guilty of ignoring the humble tubule?
Let's have a look at the Seahorse, this year's contender for @NephMadness an AGLOMERULAR fish.

How can an aglomerular kidney provide the function of the kidney?
Let's briefly recap the function of the glomerulus and the tubule using what we know of human physiology

How would you expect the composition of the urine of aglomerular fish to compare to that of glomerular fish?

We're back, for #6ix9ine closings: Judge Engelmayer has described for the jury the charges including alleged carjack and kidnap of Daniel Hernandez @SDNYLIVE First up: AUSA Warren patreon.com/posts/30185939 Thread
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @TMZLive @HotNewHipHop @Power106LA AUSA Warren starts with Gov Exhibit of Harv Ellison saying "they don't want war with Billy, we big behind the wall. They just NYC. Billy, we worldwide." US Attorney's point: Nine Trey is a conspiracy
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @TMZLive @HotNewHipHop @Power106LA AUSA Warren quotes Harv Ellison telling #6ix9ine "not to be a poseur" (Warren's words), not to choose when the f*ck to show up
