2/🔴 Obesity is a chronic relapsing disease and is the MC risk factor for CKD, affects >40% adults, >20% kids in the US.

Adipokine imbalance, RAAS & sympathetic activation, sodium retention, glomerular hyperfiltration & lipotoxicity all drive CKD progression.

🗓️ Every week, nephrology gives us another trial to read, another guideline to digest, and another PDF to save “for later.” 😅 Henceforth, we’re bringing the important stuff to your timeline instead.

Between OPDs, rounds, dialysis units, biopsies, and life, most of us don’t have time to read every paper. So we’ll read them for you, and share the highlights with you.

Welcome to #TheWeeklyNephron. Stay curious. Stay updated. Follow @isn_india for the first drop. 🧵🩺

💊THE MISSING MEDICINE 💊

This morning in the nephrology clinic, I met Abdul, a 46-year-old gentleman with diabetes and hypertension.

Like many of our patients, he navigates a complicated healthcare journey, visiting his primary care physician at our institution’s LCECU (Low cost effective Care unit), meets endocrinology when referred by them, and comes to our nephrology clinic every few months for his kidney care. Medications come from different clinics, different prescriptions, and different doctors. Keeping track of them is not always easy.

As we reviewed his reports, he asked the same questions patients often ask. “How is my sugar, madam? How are my kidneys? Has the protein in the urine improved?”

We went through everything together. Then came the medication review. I reassured him that most of his prescriptions were visible in our hospital system & I’ll cross check them with him. But he gently interrupted me.

“No, madam. My wife has told me that every time I come, I must confirm all the medicines with the doctor by listing it out myself.” I smiled and began reading out the medications one by one.He listened carefully. After I finished, he paused.

“No, madam. One sugar tablet which I take at night is missing. It was prescribed newly after I met you last time.” He knew the medicine. He took it every day. But he did not know its name.

His wife usually accompanied him to appointments, but that day their son had an exam, so she stayed home. I told him not to worry. He could confirm it and come back after the next patient. Or I could call him back next week. But he shook his head frantically. “No, madam. I will tell you now.” He immediately called his wife.

The conversation that followed lasted only a few minutes, but it was perhaps the most memorable part of my clinic that day.

On the phone, he urged her playfully, “Tell me fast, tell me fast. The doctor is waiting!” I could hear the faint sound of a woman moving around the house, searching through medicine strips and boxes.

He guided her like google maps navigation.

“Go to the “Peeche” (back) room. → “Check the cupboard.” → “No, not that one.” → “Jaldhi Dekh (Search faster)” !

She asked patiently, “Is it in the before-dinner box or after dinner?” Eventually she found it and read out the name. He repeated it to me triumphantly (It was Gliclazide BTW) but also apologetically, relieved that the mystery had been solved but knowing that I had a long list of patients ahead.

To anyone else, it might have seemed like an ordinary exchange about an ordinary tablet. But sitting there, watching him, I saw something else. I saw a wife who knew every corner of her husband’s medicine cabinet, every detail of his treatment. A husband who took her instructions seriously enough to insist on getting the drug list right. I saw two people sharing the invisible work of chronic illness, each quietly looking after the other.

We often speak about family support in medicine as though it is a statistic or a checkbox. But family support is this. It is a woman making sure her husband never misses a medication review. It is a husband calling home because he wants to get one missing tablet right. It is knowing which cupboard holds the medicines. It is knowing whether a tablet is taken before dinner or after dinner. It is caring enough to pay attention to details that most people would overlook.

Every day in the OPDs, we treat the disease. We adjust doses. We interpret Urine ACRs. We prescribe medications. But every now and then, between discussions about Creatinine and blood sugars, we get a glimpse into people’s lives.

And sometimes what stays with us isn’t the diagnosis. It is the tenderness. The quiet partnership. The ordinary, everyday love that helps people carry chronic illness one tablet, one appointment, and one phone call at a time. Those are the moments that make my day. 🥹
