NEPHROLOGIST DR. GABOR BODONYI-KOVACS, MD TRT: 15:28 KIDNEY HEALTH/SORT URINE/REGULATE BODY

March is National Kidney Month. Kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that filter wastes and extra water out of our blood and make urine. Damage to your kidneys means they can't filter blood the way it should, which could lead to kidney disease. Our guest for this episode is Leo Yamaguchi, M.D., associate program director and vice chief of clinical services for the TTUHSC School of Medicine's Internal Medicine Division of Nephrology. Dr. Yamaguchi explains how our kidneys work, some of the causes of kidney disease, how we can keep our kidneys safe and why we might want to consider becoming an organ donor. 

In this special collaboration with NephMadness, we're diving into the world of nephrotoxins with an expert panel from Virginia Commonwealth University. NephMadness is an educational competition modeled after March Madness, and this year, one of the featured regions focuses on plant-based nephrotoxins. Together, with our expert panel we break down the competing nephrotoxin teams: Tubular Toxins vs. Oxalate Offenders. Joining us are Dr. Anna Vinnokova (Nephrologist), Dr. Rachel Khan PharmD (Neph pharmacist), Dr. Ethan Downes (Nephrology fellow), and the legendary nephrotoxicologist, Dr. Josh King (Board certified Nephrologist and Toxicologist).

There's a common misconception that people on home dialysis can't have pets. But that's just a myth. Professor Cameron Wolfe, a transplant infectious disease specialist at Duke University, along with Keith Plummer, a transplant recipient with home hemodialysis experience, and Brittany Dickerson, an in center hemodialysis patient with experience in peritoneal dialysis are here to share how you can safely manage treatments while living with pets. Professor Cameron Wolfe is a Transplant Infectious Disease specialist at Duke University.  He was a previous Chair of the Disease Transmission Advisory Committee (DTAC), working with the federal transplant administration to ensure safe and successful transplantation in the US.  Cameron is the current secretary of the Infectious Disease section of The Transplantation Society, an international society representing transplant professionals and patients globally.  His research focusses on safe transplantation for patients and donors living with HIV and hepatitis, and managing respiratory viruses and emerging pathogens. Keith Plummer was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2010, coming out of surgery with one kidney functioning at 20 percent. Thanks to a great Nephrologist and a lot of hard work, he was able to hold off dialysis for close to a decade. Keith was on home hemodialysis for 4 years before receiving a transplant 1.5 years ago. Keith first got involved with advocacy about 6 years ago as he lobbied for the TRSA, making many visits to the state capitol to fight for industry and employees. Over his time on dialysis, Keith have moved from part time to being fully retired which has given more time to advocate. He is an advocate for the DPC and has participated in the last four fly-ins in Washington DC. He has been advocating with the NKF for the past 2 years and look forward to helping kidney patients in New York and across America. Brittany Dickerson is a dedicated mother, motivational speaker, and compassionate life coach living with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). She uses her kidney failure battle to educate and help others regarding kidney disease and transplantation. Through partnership with the National Kidney Foundation, Brittany has had the opportunity to mentor others and to be a guest for the National Kidney Foundation Podcast channel. Her dedication to kidney awareness has led her to pursue becoming a National Kidney Foundation Advocate. Brittany uses her voice to spread a powerful message of perseverance and hope. Brittany's goal is to continue making an impact on individuals facing adversity, offering guidance, support, and being a shining example of strength in the face of hardship.   Additional Resources: Safe Living After Transplant Find Support with NKF Peers   Do you have comments, questions, or suggestions?

The Filtrate:Joel TopfSwapnil HiremathWith Special Guest:Michelle Hladunewich, Nephrologist at the University of TorontoMir Melamed, Maternal-Fetal Medicine at the University of TorontoEditor Simon TopfShow NotesPriscilla Smith's letter:Dear Joel and the Freely Filtered team,I am a long-time fan of your podcast and was looking forward to hearing your recently aired discussion of the Praecis study of sflt1:PlGF use in preeclampsia. Preeclampsia and renal disease in pregnancy are areas that many nephrologists report a lack of knowledge or confidence in discussing and managing. I am a nephrologist who has been co-leading a renal pregnancy clinic in London while writing a PhD on progression of renal disease in pregnancy. I have had the immense privilege of working with experts and key opinion leaders in preeclampsia research both in the UK and internationally. As you know, preeclampsia is a serious and significant condition contributing to global maternal mortality and is also associated with future CKD and CVD risk so is both relevant and important within our professional group.Sadly, I found myself disappointed by the episode and felt it was a missed opportunity. I appreciate that you had difficulties obtaining appropriate experts to join the discussion, but perhaps it would have been better to delay production. While you all valiantly proceeded to discuss this important study, the topic is complex and there appeared to be a lack of understanding of the surrounding literature and pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Sadly, the maternal medicine expert's comments at the end of the podcast added little as she seemed determine to negate any benefit from the results despite declaring she had no experience or expertise in the use of these biomarkers.There are many people who understand the clinical aspects of preeclampsia as well as having direct experience of the use and utility of these biomarkers who would have been able to contribute much to your conversation. I look forward to future discussions of renal disease in pregnancy on your podcast and would be happy to suggest some expert panellists if you ever find yourself stuck.Kind regards,Priscilla Excess placental soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt1) may contribute to endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, and proteinuria in preeclampsia (JCI 2003)sFlt background: Pathogenesis of Preeclampsia and Therapeutic Approaches Targeting the Placenta (PubMed)PlGF background: Perspectives on the Use of Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) in the Prediction and Diagnosis of Pre-Eclampsia: Recent Insights and Future Steps (PubMed)The PRAECIS trial (NephJC | NEJM Evidence)

In this episode, Jill discusses the difference between nephrologists and urologists and when to see each. She explains that urologists are surgeons who specialize in diseases of the bladder and kidneys, including kidney stone removal. Nephrologists, on the other hand, are medical doctors who manage kidney-related diseases and can also help with kidney stone prevention. Most kidney stone formers do not need both specialists, but may consider seeing a nephrologist if they have recurrent stones or other medical conditions. It is important to find a nephrologist who specializes in kidney stones to ensure the best care.TakeawaysUrologists are surgeons who specialize in diseases of the bladder and kidneys, including kidney stone removal.Nephrologists are medical doctors who manage kidney-related diseases and can also help with kidney stone prevention.Most kidney stone formers do not need both a urologist and a nephrologist.Consider seeing a nephrologist if you have recurrent stones or other medical conditions.Find a nephrologist who specializes in kidney stones for the best care.00:00 Introduction and Overview00:52 When to Consider a Nephrologist03:17 The Role of Urologists06:08 Finding a Nephrologist Specializing in Kidney Stones09:35 Conclusion and Resources——HAVE A QUESTION? _Leave us a voicemail at (773) 789-8763.KIDNEY STONE DIET® APPROVED PRODUCTSProtein Powders, Snacks, and moreWORK WITH JILL _Kidney Stone Diet®Kidney Stone Prevention CourseKidney Stone Diet® Meal PlansSUPPORT THE SHOW _Join the PatreonRate Kidney Stone Diet on Apple Podcasts or Spotify——WHO IS JILL HARRIS? _For over 25 years, Jill Harris has been a kidney stone prevention nurse helping patients reduce their kidney stone risk.

Guest: Gates B. Colbert, MD, FASN A class of medications called SGLT2 inhibitors have been proven to make a major difference for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with and without diabetes when added to angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) classes of medications. Several medications that have been well studied and approved by the FDA in the United States have shown progression of not only CKD but also cardiovascular events and overall mortality. To learn more about these medications, join Dr. Gates Colbert, Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine, and Nephrologist and Certified Hypertension Specialist at Kidney and Hypertension Associates of Dallas.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD),is a gradual and serious loss of kidney function (kidney failure), that affects up to one in eight South Africans. More impotant is that worldwide it had resulted in  over 3.1 million deaths (2019). If left untreated kidney failure can be life threatening. At the moment the kidney disease ranks as the 8th leading cause of death, and it is projected to be the 5th leading cause of life lost by 2040. The Urology Hospital in Pretoria, is presently offering free kidney health screenings to the public on the 14th and 15th of March 2024 and to tell us more about the chronic Kidney Disease and the free screening we're joined by Dr Fikile Tsela, Nephrologist at Urology Hospital in PTA.

In this episode, we navigate through the clinical landscape of Kenya with nephrologist Khalida Soki, who, after a tenure with the UK's NHS, chose to return to her native land. Our conversation delves into the stark realities clinicians face in regions constrained by resources. Khalida sheds light on the imperative for innovation amongst doctors, who often find themselves adapting—sometimes in deviation from international clinical guidelines—to maximize the impact of available resources. She also highlights the pivotal role of technology, pointing to the convenience and widespread use of telemedicine facilitated by Kenya's robust connectivity infrastructure. Access to international resources, she notes, is invaluable in offering patients informed clinical advice.

Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is routinely utilized in the CICU. Series co-chairs Dr. Eunice Dugan and Dr Karan Desai along with CardioNerds Co-founder Dr. Daniel Ambinder were joined by FIT lead and CardioNerds Ambassador from University of Washington, Dr. Tomio Tran. Our episode expert is world-renowned nephrologist Dr. Joel Topf. Dr. Topf is Medical Director of Research at St. Clair Nephrology, and editor of the Handbook of Critical Care Nephrology. In this episode, we describe a case of cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction resulting in renal failure, ultimately requiring continuous RRT (CRRT). We discuss the most common causes of AKI within the cardiac ICU, indications for initiating RRT, evidence on the timing of RRT, different modes of RRT, basic management of the RRT circuit, and how to transition patients off of RRT during renal recovery. Episode notes were drafted by Dr. Tomio Tran. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, Dr. Maryam Barkhordarian. The CardioNerds Cardiac Critical Care Series is a multi-institutional collaboration made possible by contributions of stellar fellow leads and expert faculty from several programs, led by series co-chairs, Dr. Mark Belkin, Dr. Eunice Dugan, Dr. Karan Desai, and Dr. Yoav Karpenshif.

Pearls and Quotes - Approach to Renal Replacement Therapy in the CICU Do not commit “Renalism” - withholding lifesaving treatments from patients with renal impairment due to fear of causing renal injury. Shared decision making is key. In the ICU, most of the time, AKI is caused by ATN due to adverse hemodynamics. Nephrologists can help determine the cause if the patient has an atypical presentation. Late dialysis initiation is non-inferior to early dialysis initiation. Early initiation may lead to higher rates of prolonged time on dialysis. Slow low efficiency daily diafiltration (SLEDD) vs CRRT are equivalent in terms of outcomes and are the preferred methods among patients with hypotension. Intermittent Hemodialysis (iHD) can be used once patients are hemodynamically stable. A “Furosemide Stress Test” can be used to test intact renal function or renal recovery by challenging the nephron to make urine. Show notes - Approach to Renal Replacement Therapy in the CICU What are the risk factors and differential for AKI in the CICU? Start by using the pre-renal vs intrinsic renal vs post-renal framework. Additional considerations in cardiac patients include contrast induced nephropathy, pigment nephropathy, cardiorenal syndrome. Enjoy Episode 262. Management of Cardiorenal Syndrome in the CICU. In the ICU setting, intrinsic renal injury due to ATN is among the most common etiology of AKI. Many risk factors for AKI are not modifiable in the ICU. Optimize renal function by avoiding nephrotoxins, minimizing contrast usage, and keeping the MAP >65-75 mmHg. Contrast nephropathy as an etiology is questionable and may be a marker of a sicker patient population. Avoid “Renalism” - providing substandard care to patients with renal disease due to fear of worsening renal function. Most etiologies are treated with supportive care. What is the approach to timing of renal replacement therapy initiation? Definitions for early vs late vs very late initiation of RRT:Early – Worsening AKI without indications for RRTLate – Worsening AKI with relative indications for RRT Very late – Worsening AKI with strict indications for RRT Late initiation is noninferior in terms of mortality; early initiation is associated with higher rates of prolonged/permanent RRT.1,2,3 Very late initiation associated with worse outcomes.4 In general,

Pearls and Quotes - Management of Cardiorenal Syndrome in the CICU Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) represents a range of clinical entities in which there is both heart and kidney dysfunction, and can be driven by one, or both, of the organs. CRS is caused by reduced renal perfusion, elevated renal congestion, or a combination of the two. Treatment therefore focuses on increasing perfusion, by optimizing cardiac output and mean arterial pressure, and reducing congestion through diuresis. Patients should be monitored for an adequate response to the initial diuretic dose within 2 hours of administration. If the response is inadequate, the loop diuretic dose should be doubled. Diuretic resistance can be managed via sequential nephron blockade, most commonly with thiazide diuretics, but also with amiloride, high-dose spironolactone, or acetazolamide, as these target different regions of the nephron. In cases of refractory diuretic resistance, hypertonic saline can be considered with the help of an experienced clinician. Continuation or cessation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors in the setting of CRS should be made on a case-by-case basis. Show notes - Management of Cardiorenal Syndrome in the CICU 1. Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a collection of signs/symptoms that indicate injury to both the heart and kidneys. Organ dysfunction in one can drive dysfunction in the other. Cardiorenal syndrome can be categorized as: Type 1 - Acute heart failure causing acute kidney injury Type 2 - Chronic heart failure causing chronic kidney injury Type 3 - Acute kidney injury causing acute heart failure Type 4 - Chronic kidney injury causing chronic heart failure Type 5 - Co-development of heart and kidney injury by another systemic process. These categories can be helpful for education, discussion, and research purposes, but they do not usually enter clinical practice on a regular basis since different categories of cardiorenal syndrome are not necessarily treated differently. 2. CRS is caused by either reduced renal perfusion, elevated renal congestion, or a combination of the two. When dealing with CRS, note that: CRS can be caused by poor kidney perfusion,

Our episode today focuses on a disease that's a significant problem in the US. 15% of US adults or 37 million people, are estimated to have this disease and as many as 9 in 10 adults with this disease do not know they have it. This disease is prevalent in the 65+ population. As of 2018 Medicare was spending $70B annually on the treatment of this disease which represents almost 24 % of spending for this age group. If you haven't yet figured out which disease I am referring to, its Chronic Kidney Disease or CKD. The 21st Century Cures Act brought renal diseases to the forefront and allowed Medicare Beneficiaries with ESRD to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan. Previously, these beneficiaries were required to stay on Traditional Medicare which often resulted in suboptimal outcomes.  In addition, CMS has launched several innovative payment models in an attempt to help providers focus more on prevention and curbing progression of renal disease. As a result, many health plans and renal providers are now focused on more effectively managing renal conditions and improving outcomes. With us today is Michael Uchrin, CEO of Monogram Health, a Nashville based company that helps patients with renal disease live their best lives. The team at Monogram Health is focused on making treatments as accessible and convenient as possible to the member, by offering in-home services. Michael will help educate us on the changes that are afoot and how companies like Monogram Health are improving outcomes and lowering costs.
