Reboot - Diuretics, leg cramps, and resistant hypertension

Published: March 4, 2019, 8 a.m.

Listen to our first ever discussion with @kidney_boy, Joel Topf MD. It\u2019s a classic episode with a fresh intro as we prepare for @NephMadness 2019 with our friends from Twitter and @AJKDonline

\n

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.

\n \nCorrections: Dr Topf posted the following corrections on his blog PBfluids.com 3/22/2017\n

\u201cI enjoyed the experience immensely, but in an hour of talking off the cuff I made some embarrassing mistakes:

\n

In describing water reabsorption I said it occured in the cortical collecting duct rather than the medullary collecting duct.

\n

In describing my cure for cramps I tell the story of Gitelman\u2019s and say it is like congenital loop diuretics rather than congenital thiazide diuretics

\n

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.\u201d
