This month at #ISNTweetorial, we thought it would be fun to visit ancient Greece! Well not the whole of ancient Greece. But we did visit a particular Greek goddess. Can you guess which one? 🤔

🧵by @gag_aggarwal 2/ Originally referred to as new/novel/non-VKA oral anticoagulants (NOACs)
the preferred international consensus nomenclature for OACs that directly inhibit 1 molecular target is ->DOAC
Also they are not new anymore🙈been around since early 2000s

Check out this excellent review in @KIReports of a very important topic relevant to all clinicians involved in the care of CKD pts. ▶️Pts with CKD are at ⬆️sed risk of CAD with ⬇️ing eGFR
▶️Many CKD pts have atypical presentations of CAD; presenting more often with MI directly and more NSTEMI

Important study published in @KIReports. The 1st report from the developing world 🇮🇳 looking at the outcome of dialysis in #COVID19 positive patients. ▶️Majority of patients were male and older and had been on dialysis for some time.
▶️And presented with symptoms necessitating a #COVID19 test.
▶️A good 30% were referred because their home unit didn't have facilities to dialyse Covid+ve patients.

How many of your dialysis patients have well controlled blood pressure?📋 Admit it! Hypertension in dialysis patients is a universal problem!☹️
The next edition of Nuances in Nephrology will address this and more!
