➡️ Standard kidney function equations (eGFR) often overestimate renal health for the Indian population.
➡️A landmark study of 1,174 Indian adults shows that global models like CKD-EPI 2021 dont account for lower average muscle mass and unique dietary habits found in India
@drrbalu Congratulations Sir!!!
Eagerly waiting to read this!!
The Charioteer is a vivid imagery that features even in the hymn written by Gurudev Tagore, which I love, who's first stanza is our national anthem..

Very interesting!!! But proving the diagnosis of GI Beriberi is tricky given the nonspecific symptoms and variety of differentials in CKD patients.
Reversal of symptoms with high dose Thiamine is probably the most cost effective way!!

Fascinating case that taught us much
SODa-BIC just dropped in NEJM. The large, rigorous RCT examining the use of sodium bicarbonate ICU patients with shock and acidosis.

🎙️@IgAN_JBarratt presenting: Iptacopan achieves near-normal kidney function decline in prespecified IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patient subgroups: APPLAUSE-IgAN final data
🌐Despite current standard of care, up to 50% of patients with IgAN progress to kidney fallure within 10-20 years from diagnosis
🎯 Ideally, to achieve remission we need to achieve proteinuria less than 0.5, or 0. Complement inhibitors might help achieving this, in this case iptacopan (anti factor B man, blocking alternative pathway)
