Grateful to have won the Sex & Gender Clinical Science Award! Limitations in eGFR estimation in transgender, gender-diverse, and non-binary individuals exist. Thank you CSN for this honour! 🏳️⚧️
Big congrats to Area 23, for winning Gold in the Pharma category at the New York Festivals Health Awards with 'The Messenger,' created for KERENDIA (finerenone)! Set in a VR world, 'The Messenger' follows a character obsessed with the number 60—the critical eGFR threshold.
In preterms in the PENUT trial receiving Rx for PDA, indomethacin found to have a greater association with a lower eGFR at 2y compared to ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
A common question is, 'Will too much protein hurt my kidneys?'.
Eating more protein (or taking creatine) may increase the creatinine in your blood (which is used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate—eGFR), but study after study has shown that higher-than-average…
61 y/o male. post MI 4y ago (DES to mid LAD). LDL 56 (statin). BMI 23. non-smoker. BP well conrolled. No metabolic disorter. eGFR >90. No FHx. Active & asymptomatic at high exertion. . Routine check-up c CCTA to check stent... . Proximal LAD: new high-risk plaque!
Time to tell the people that they should focus more on low carb than low protein for kidney health. Low carb practitioners see eGFR stabilise and often improve. Amazing work by Thomas Weimbs, PhD and Jeff Volek. #ckd#protein#lowcarb
