Alot of the time my diabetic CKD patients end up getting poor glycemic control as a result if the low protein diet, I find i usually go head to head with endocrinology regarding this specific topic. Can anyone relate ? Just flozinate i guess 🙃 #NephJC

Agree with this algorithm from evidence.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... ($$$ or sub reqd)

Flozinate and Glipinate

Metformin only if these are not appropriate or possible

All else comes later

Algorithm for management of diabetes with flozins and GLP1RAs as mainstay

I wonder if dialysis vintage should have been accounted for, more frequent dialysis using PD may have higher CV benefits more UF, less likely to have HF exacerbation ?

the use of spironolactone in patients on dialysis did not alter mortality or hospitalizations for heart failure. Similar results were seen in the simultaneously released ALCHEMY trial.

Expert opinion—not RCTs—has dominated guidelines on phosphorus control in ESRD for decades. Why? Because phosphate feels like a villain... but is it really? 🦹‍♂️ I can feel it in my bones. #NephJC

higher cardiovascular risk, mortality/morbitity with low eGFR

im definitely more alert when the patient’s cystatin C based eGFR is much lower, and ask for more frequent follow up

We're debating eGFRdiff (the gap that is sometimes present between the eGFR of cystatin C and creatinine). What does it mean, what causes it and what you should do about it. #NephJC
