Listen to our first ever discussion with @kidney_boy, Joel Topf MD. It’s a classic episode with a fresh intro as we prepare for @NephMadness 2019 with our friends from Twitter and @AJKDonline Dominate leg cramps, diuretic therapy, and resistant hypertension with tips from @kidney_boy, Joel Topf MD @kidney_boy, Chief of Nephrology Kashlak Memorial Hospital, co-creator @NephMadness. We start with basic renal physiology and build up to the treatment of resistant hypertension. Corrections: Dr Topf posted the following corrections on his blog PBfluids.com 3/22/2017 “I enjoyed the experience immensely, but in an hour of talking off the cuff I made some embarrassing mistakes: In describing water reabsorption I said it occured in the cortical collecting duct rather than the medullary collecting duct. In describing my cure for cramps I tell the story of Gitelman’s and say it is like congenital loop diuretics rather than congenital thiazide diuretics I mucked up the story about the MRFIT story and how it allowed a head to head comparison of HCTZ and chlorthalidone. I really oversold what happened.” Full show notes at https://thecurbsiders.com/podcast. Join our newsletter mailing list.
