Strategies for improving #chronic #kidney #disease screening in primary care (from a presentation I gave to the #project #ECHO today).
#nephrology
Our own research (last slide) shows that patients are empowered when we communicate screening results to them!

Key points:
1) Expands early screening
2) Acknowledges socioeconomic factors in CKD
3) Integrates #proteinuria #EGFR & #genetics
4) School screening for proteinuria & #hypertension

"Hands" is a song by American singer #Jewel, released as the first #single from her second studio album, #Spirit (1998). Jewel wrote the song following an incident in which she considered stealing a #sundress after getting fired from various jobs due to #kidney troubles, and she decided that her hands were better suited to writing songs than stealing clothes. Written as one of the last songs for the album.

This is the gene responsible for polycystic kidney disease 1.

Remember my #RuleOf10 when treating the high risk for #heart, #hypertension #kidney badness in people living with #diabetes and #ckd if you have a hard time remembering doses. The rule is to use 10mg of :
Ramipril
Empagliflozin or dapagliflozin
Rosuvastatin
Ezetimibe
Amlodipine

Only known preparations are homeopathic (therefore useless) or PurosOne / Renaltec a supplement with questionable effectivity. We already feed very high quality food low in phosphorus. If anyone of you know a effective medical treatment for this case I would be happy to here from it.
