đŸ§”1. Aldosterone isn’t just “salt & water.” In modern sodium-rich contexts it drives inflammation, fibrosis, and residual cardiorenal risk. We map physiology → disease → therapies, and argue for reprogramming the signal. Follow the thread ---> doi.org/10.3390/ijms26188829

Where does aldosterone actually do its work? In the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN): DCT2, CNT, and the collecting duct. The control room for Naâș balance and Kâș homeostasis. (Follow the thread đŸ§”) #Nephpearls #Nephrology #Physiology

3. Connecting Tubule/Collecting Duct α-Intercalated cell 🎯 Aldo → Hâș secretion (H-ATPase/H/K-ATPase) ÎČ-Intercalated cell (base/Cl⁻) 🛑Aldo suppresses Pendrin (Cl/HCO₃ handling) đŸ§ȘAldosterone excess contribute to metabolic alkalosis with hypokalemia.

7. Future & biomarkers 🔬 Non-genomic pathways (GPER), NLRP3 blockade, TLR/biglycan axis, miRNA, immune re-balancing and others. 👉The goal: pathway-informed, biomarker-guided precision nephrology.

The success paradox: better therapies → rarer events → longer, costlier trials. Our proposal: smarter trials, not bigger, use adaptive & pragmatic designs, eGFR slope as surrogate, RWE and continue DHT monitoring. @FrancescoPesce shorturl.at/yEeC3

Basics of Glomerulonephritis (GN). GBM is key. All patterns can be explained by glomerular basement membrane (GBM) & type of injury. Let’s do one at a time CRESCENTIC GN 1. Results from breach/break of GBM (red arrow) 2. Injury is sudden & severe Eg-ANCA & anti-GBM GN

"Drink more water!" It's the easiest health advice around. Tired? Headache? Trying to be like Tom Brady? Just drink more water. But as a nephrologist, I get asked all the time: How much is the right amount? And the truth is... we don't really know. đŸ§”

1/14 đŸ€” Why do we use iodine as an intravenous contrast agent? The answer requires a review of the composition of the human body and a brief tour of one of my favorites, the Periodic Table of Elements.
