🧵 Cardiorenal pharmacotherapy cheat-sheet — 5 drug classes, one visual.
RAASi | ARNI | SGLT2i | ns-MRA | GLP-1 RA
Key patterns worth knowing:
• 4 of 5 reduce MACE or HFH
• All 5 slow eGFR decline or cut albuminuria
• Hyperkalemia risk: RAASi, ARNI, ns-MRA
• SGLT2i → genital infections | GLP-1 RA → GI side effects
Hemodynamics snapshot:
↓ eGFR on initiation is expected with most — don’t panic, it’s often renoprotective long-term.
ARNI is the outlier: eGFR no change, but watch UACR.
Save this. Share it. Your patients’ kidneys will thank you. 🫀🩺

https://t.co/7BolZ2IZrM As Octavia Spencer & Sofia Vergara recommend: if you have high blood pressure or diabetes, you should ask your doctor to measure uACR (urine albumin to creatinine ratio)... nice superbowl commercial: mission detect the SOS
Acute Kidney Injury is more mismanaged than misdiagnosed.
🧪 Fluids help only if hypovolemic
🩸 FENa fails in diuretic use
🧬 FEUrea >50% → ATN
💧 Stop “fluid challenges” in CHF / cirrhosis
🆘 Dialysis = AEIOU

🩸 Anticoagulation made simple - 2025 update.
A quick guide to what clinicians actually need:
• When to start (AF, VTE, valves, APS, LV thrombus)
• When to avoid DOACs (mechanical valves, severe MS, triple-positive APS)
• When to bridge - and when not to
• When it’s safe to stop
• How to reverse DOACs and warfarin
• Key contraindications
