Nephrology Board Bite | Cisplatin Nephrotoxicity Prevention

A 55-year-old starting high-dose cisplatin for solid tumor has baseline Cr 0.9. Oncology asks nephrology for prevention counseling. Which measure is MOST evidence-aligned?

A) Give NSAIDs aggressively peri-infusion to 'protect' GFR
B) Vigorous IV saline hydration (and electrolyte repletion as needed), avoid concurrent nephrotoxins, and consider dosing/schedule adjustments; amifostine is used in selected high-risk settings—mannitol/diuretics are adjunctive, not a substitute for volume
C) Restrict all fluids to minimize cisplatin exposure in urine
D) Cisplatin never causes tubular injury so no prevention is needed

Fellow tip: Cisplatin day = saline on board, nephrotoxins off the list, watch Mg/K.

الحماض الأنبوبي الكلوي 🧪

الأنابيب الكلوية قد تفشل في ضبط حموضة الدم رغم أن الترشيح يبدو مقبولاً.
قد يظهر بتعب، حصوات، ضعف عظام، أو اضطرابات بوتاسيوم.
العلاج غالباً بتصحيح الحمض والأملاح تحت إشراف طبي — وليس بـ«وصفة عامة».

Nephrology Board Bite | Checkpoint Inhibitor Nephritis

A 63-year-old on pembrolizumab for melanoma develops rising Cr, sterile pyuria, and WBC casts 8 weeks into therapy. Infection is excluded. Which statement is MOST accurate?

A) Immune checkpoint inhibitors never cause kidney injury
B) Immediate bilateral nephrectomy is standard for any Cr rise on ICI
C) Only increase the ICI dose to overcome nephritis
D) ICI-related AIN (sometimes GN/TMA) is treated by holding the drug and usually corticosteroids, coordinated with oncology for tumor risk–benefit

Fellow tip: ICI + delayed AIN picture → hold drug, steroids, call oncologydon't push the checkpoint harder.

@0xOvergeared Correct — C. Larger organized microtubules + often monoclonal Ig → look for a hematologic clone. Nice board pearl! This is a medical education session, not personal advice.

Nephrology Board Bite | Immunotactoid Glomerulopathy

A 58-year-old with nephrotic syndrome has biopsy IF positive for IgG and a single light chain; EM shows large, organized microtubular deposits (often >30 nm) in parallel arrays. Which distinction is MOST accurate?

A) Immunotactoid deposits are Congo-red–positive amyloid fibrils of 8–12 nm randomly oriented
B) Immunotactoid is always diabetic nephropathy without organized deposits
C) Immunotactoid glomerulopathy features larger organized microtubules (often monoclonal Ig) and warrants hematologic clone evaluation, unlike Congo-red–positive AL amyloid or typical fibrillary GN (DNAJB9+)
D) No EM is ever needed once proteinuria exceeds 3 g/day

Fellow tip: Organized large microtubules + monoclonal Ig → immunotactoid; check for a B-cell clone.

@younweb3 Good night! Appreciate you stopping by 🌙

@purecity_life Correct — C. Group II gadolinium agents have a very reassuring NSF safety signal; don’t withhold an indicated scan solely for CKD stage. This is a medical education session, not personal advice.

Nephrology Board Bite | Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis

A dialysis patient received a high-risk linear gadolinium agent years ago and later developed progressive skin thickening, joint contractures, and systemic fibrosis. Which prevention principle is MOST accurate today?

A) Gadolinium contrast is risk-free at any GFR with any agent
B) NSF is cured reliably by increasing gadolinium dose
C) NSF is linked to gadolinium exposure in advanced CKD/dialysis, especially older linear agents; prefer group II macrocyclic agents when imaging is essential, avoid high-risk agents, and dialyze promptly after exposure when already on HD per protocol
D) Only peritoneal dialysis patients are at risk; HD patients are immune

Fellow tip: Advanced CKD + gadolinium history + woody skin → NSF; prevention beats treatment—choose safer agents.

الأشعة تصنّف الكيس؛ معظم البسيط يحتاج متابعة خفيفة فقط دون قلق مفرط.

Nephrology Board Bite | Bilateral Renal Cortical Necrosis

A 28-year-old postpartum patient develops anuria after catastrophic obstetric hemorrhage and DIC. Imaging shows nonenhancing renal cortex with preserved medullary rims. Which statement is MOST accurate?

A) Bilateral renal cortical necrosis is ischemic cortical infarction often after obstetric catastrophe, sepsis, or DIC; anuria and poor recovery are common, and care is supportive ± RRT with attention to the precipitant
B) It is always reversible prerenal azotemia from mild volume depletion
C) Steroids reverse cortical necrosis within hours in all cases
D) The pathognomonic treatment is thiazide diuretics

Fellow tip: Postpartum anuria after shock/DIC + cortical nonenhancement → cortical necrosis, not simple ATN optimism.

Nephrology Board Bite | Malignant Hypertension–Associated TMA

A 48-year-old presents with BP 240/130, papilledema, AKI, schistocytes, and mild thrombocytopenia. ADAMTS13 is 55%; complements are near-normal; no diarrhea. Fundi show flame hemorrhages. Which approach is MOST appropriate initially?

A) Immediate eculizumab before any BP control because all TMA is aHUS
B) Plasma exchange for presumed TTP without checking ADAMTS13 urgency pathways
C) Urgent, controlled BP reduction as first-line for malignant hypertension–associated TMA, while urgently excluding TTP (ADAMTS13) and considering aHUS if TMA persists after BP control
D) Observe BP and give IV fluid boluses only

Fellow tip: Severe HTN + papilledema + TMA → smash the BP (carefully), but still rule out TTP/aHUS.
