Contraception in patients with kidney disease
🆘 Help! I have a woman of reproductive age in my office for contraception advice!
25-year-old with stage III CKD (eGFR 42) due to reflux nephropathy.
How comfortable are you with providing advice?

Okay kids, I have a *lot* to say about this.
To understand where we are, we need to understand how we got here.
The cultivation of the "professional identity" in medicine has a toxic history & one we need to acknowledge if we genuinely want to humanize medicine. 1/
@BryceBarr9@NephJC If persistent proteinuria despite steroids, would the approach be the same? Or dependent on the amount of proteinuria + biopsy findings? #nephjc
🤰🏽Pregnant individuals remain excluded from the vast majority of clinical trials.
🦕The outdated practice of default exclusion must evolve.
🙋♀️But how do we make it happen for individual trials, concretely?

Shout it from the rooftops… @DrSandiDumanski highlighting the study done by Dr. @emhendren (two of my favourite nephrologists and people) Contraception should be discussed with and offered to females with CKD if they wish.
@NephJC@NDTsocial I have a problem with the premise. Does anyone really stop arbitrarily when GFR is <30? Is that an adult thing? Would have liked to see stop when hyperkalemia vs continue with k binder. THAT’s my real question. How hard to push Ace at the end. #nephjc
1. I am very excited to share our recent publication published in @CJASN!
❗️A significant number of dialyzed females with CKD experience menstrual abnormalities, and transplantation may improve such disturbances❗️
However: Menstruation is often overlooked in this pop...
