People say that dinosaurs are extinct but apparently, that is not the case. You see, there are some of us who grew up and learned about nephrology in different times, times with no internet, no smartphone, no social media. A time that we might now refer to as the golden age, while others, who are younger and with far better skin, will refer to it as the age of dinosaurs. If you are one of these, likely to roar in frustration when opening one social media platform or the other, we have a podca...
CKD-MBD can be a most confusing field. When we start learning about it, we are usually focused on lowering PTH levels, only to find out that in many scenarios high PTH levels are the consequence of PTH resistance and that overactivity of PTH might not even be the issue. But maybe PTH is not what we should be focusing on, maybe it’s phosphate and yet, how do we lower that efficiently? Treatment with vitamin D can lower PTH and increase phosphate. But at the end of the day, laboratory results m...

You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. Wise words from Joni Mitchell that you might find in her famous song Big Yellow Taxi. People who have never had problems sleeping have absolutely no idea how difficult life becomes when you can’t sleep properly or well enough. It’s literally a nightmare, only you're awake, and it seems like it lasts forever. Unfortunately, this nightmare is incredibly common in CKD patients, particularly in patients with end-stage kidney disease. It’s up to us to...
The more time is passing, the more we find the importance and the density of the functional interconnections between the kidney and the heart. If you treat one of them, you might potentially improve the other and the number of therapeutic agents with combined cardiorenal efficacy ever increases. We will have the honor and the pleasure of discussing cardiorenal medicine with Patrick Mark from the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. A specialist on this matter in a most exciting session regi...
