1/10 We often talk about evaluation of AKI in the context of ⬆️ creatinine, but let’s take a step back and think about eGFRs. Here is an approach to interpreting ⬇️ in eGFR! #NephTwitter #MedTwitter #FOAMed #MedEd

3/ Thanks to @ZacNephron for explaining GFR vs eGFR, referring me to Chapter 2 of @BookBurton, and sharing this thread to deepen my understanding of the utility of GFR:
