Patients with osteoporosis 🦴and hypercalciuria. To thiazide or not to thiazide? 🤨 No strong evidence for fracture prevention, but some evidence in improving DEXA scores. What is everyone doing? #askrenal

Proud of our @UofTNephrology @UnityHealthTO @azeenia1 on this important work @ArborResHealth #peritonealdialysis

For all the dialysis patients on low dose prednisone >10 years after failed transplant… what is everyone’s practice with respect to the steroids? Should we wean off? Keep on low dose? are there guidelines? #askrenal #NephTwitter

[Zeenia Aga @azeenia1]

Curious what people’s practice is with respect to starting SGLT2 in individuals with CKD and single kidney (post Nephrectomy)? #askrenal

[Zeenia Aga @azeenia1]

Is there any risk to administering IV iron to my patients with calciphylaxis? Is this risk of oxidative stress from IV iron worsening calciphylaxis a real risk? #askrenal

[Zeenia Aga @azeenia1]

@LisaDubrofsky Great idea!! Thank you

[Zeenia Aga @azeenia1]

Newly starting a Nephrology practice and never thought I’d struggle so much to choose which/where to buy blood pressure cuffs for the clinic - desperate for Ontario/GTA recommendations!! #askrenal

Congratulations @azeenia1 @UofTNephrology @HemoDSMH @UnityHealthTO

Quality of life should be the leading consideration when tailoring the ‘best’ treatment for the patient

With this publication, we have further reassurance that "PD is not inferior to in-center HD" w/ respect to the burden imposed by dialysis #Nephpearls

What do you think is one of most important unanswered questions in home dialysis? #askrenal 🧐🙋🏽‍♀️

As trainees in all specialties, we may sometimes feel a sense of weakness or inadequacy when we ask for help. This powerful illustration by @charliemackesy really says it all....on the contrary, asking for help can be an act of bravery.

Anyone out there using SGLT-II inhibitors in their PD patients with residual renal function? #askrenal 🧐

[Zeenia Aga @azeenia1]

Where is the evidence that intravenous iron worsens bacterial infection 🦠? When we withhold iron in a patient with cellulitis are we propagating an outdated myth 🦄 or practicing evidence-based medicine🔬?
