If you still wonder why I should win #NephMadness, today it was announced that the FLOW study is positive: 1 mg of semaglutide ⬇️kidney outcomes by 24% in pts with CKD

👇Why it's important? Mortality in CKD is higher than in many cancers

1/4 - The Mystery

A patient has blood drawn with the following hemoglobin (Hgb):

☞ 8.0 g/dL

One hour later the Hgb is repeated and has RISEN to:

☞ 9.0 g/dL

They did NOT receive blood/medications between these draws.

🤔What might cause this change?

Why do corticosteroids increase the BUN/Cr ratio?

I see this often after starting patients on prednisone.

But why? And, does it also happen with excess endogenous steroids (e.g., Cushing's)?

🎟Let's have a look.

[Tiffany Truong @CRRTiff]

@kidneyrebel Yes, would love to see this! 😄
