Ø Exclude secondary causes
Ø Do urinalysis, imaging and then genetics

Calcium and magnesium disorders are the job of every nephrologist.
💥Membranous Nephropathy (MN); New antigens, new disease? #tweetorialERA#membranous#nephtwitter#FOAMed#tweetorial
MN occurs due to immune complex deposition in the subepithelial GBM. @SethiRenalPath reckons classification of MN should be made based on the antigen, much like the nomenclature of complement activated GN following better understanding of the role of complement dysregulation.
➡️Native kidney biopsy plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of many conditions and, while generally safe, can be associated with bleeding complications.
Would you biopsy a patient with aspirin exposure?🤔
Bleeding complication rates are low, with less than 2% of patients requiring transfusion and less than 0.5% requiring an intervention to control the bleeding.
⚠️These complication rates are higher in hospitalized patients and those with AKI.
Time for a tweetorial on renal MRI! MRI is used to look at structure, but advanced sequences can measure function too. Multiple sequences in 1 session = multiparametric MRI = loads of data!
Could be used to triage risk in CKD, reduce invasive tests, or for translational research
An imaging biomarker is already being used in clinical practice. For which condition?
