Urgent-start PD is defined as initiation of PD in patients w/ newly diagnosed ESKD who are not yet on dialysis and who require dialysis initiation < 2 weeks (as little as 24-48 hours) after PD catheter placement but do not require emergent dialysis #Nephpearls

@goKDIGO

Tweetorial: @goKDIGO Level 2B Recommendation - We suggest that adults w/ high BP & CKD be treated with a target SBP <120, when tolerated, using standardized office BP measurement (1/9) #Nephpearls
👉 kdigo.org/guidelines/blo…

There is evidence that targeting SBP <120 when measured under standardized conditions, reduces CV events & all-cause mortality in CKD

📌 In most people w/ high BP (incl. frail & elderly), these benefits appear to outweigh the risks of harm (hypotension & AKI) (2/9) #Nephpearls

There is however, some uncertainty that the benefits outweigh the harms in certain scenarios (3/9) #Nephpearls

MOE: Phosphorus or Phosphate
👉 PROXIMAL Tubule: Main site for regulation of phosphate (some is reabsorbed with Na and H20; most is regulated by change in FGF23)
👉 DISTAL Tubule: Main site for regulation of calcium and potassium
#NKFClinicals #Nephpearls #CKDMBD

Phosphorus bioavailability "varies" by source
#NKFClinicals #Nephpearls

Active Intestinal Phosphate Transport and Passive Intestinal Phosphate (Paracellular) Transport
📌 Note that in these tight junctions, there are 5 groups of proteins that regulate this: occludens, claudins, JAMA, E-cadherin, desmosomes

CONFIRM: In this trial involving adults w/ cirrhosis and HRS-1, terlipressin was more effective than placebo in improving renal function but was associated with serious adverse events, including respiratory failure (ca. 2021) #Hepatorenal #Nephpearls
