Excellent presentation by Alex Bullen on “Relation of a Parsimonious Model of Factors Derived from 10 Biomarkers of Kidney Tubule Health with Decline in eGFR in the SPRINT Trial” @ucsdnephrology#KidneyWeek2019
1/16
Why does prerenal acute kidney injury lead to an elevated BUN/Cr ratio?
I always assumed the kidney increased urea reabsorption but never gave much thought as to where or how or why?
It's far more interesting than I'd expected...
@womeninnephro Hello, I am presenting two posters: physical activity in hemodialysis patients-Fitbit prospective study (PO283 Thursday 10-12) and Noninvasive Measures of Visceral Adiposity and Risk of Kidney Function Decline (PO829 Saturday 10-12)
In the latest @CJASN #podcast, the author of latest study "The Acute Dialysis Orders Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)" discusses her and her team's research. https://t.co/nObuAIkQ2D

Great news to begin the week. Congratulations to Dr. Alexander Bullen @ucsdnephrology for being awarded an O'Brien Center Pilot Award to study the role of kidney tubule function biomarkers in sepsis associated AKI. Way to go Alex! #theixlab
