1/This July’s @aspneph pathology webinar was all about pediatric Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA)- associated vasculitis (AAV). Let's kick off this pediatric AAV tweetorial✍️with a quick question #NephTwitter
🤔 What is the role of ANCA antibodies❓
2/
✅Diagnostic marker and Pathogenic in nature
▶️ Proteinase-3 (PR3) and Myeloperoxidase (MPO) antigens are sequestered in neutrophil primary granules
▶️ Antigen exposure triggers immune response leading to endothelial activation

Mechanisms
📌Defective neutrophil apoptosis, leading to NETosis
📌Inefficient clearance of PR3/MPO
📌Antimicrobial antibodies cross reacting with PR3/MPO
📌Medication induced

1/ Monitoring eGFR in CKD is almost a reflex🦵!

But how did we get here?
What are we trying to assess?
And how does eGFR help?

#NephMadness #primarycare pits GFR vs proteinuria in CKD

In this tweetorial let's take a closer look at GFR

But first, who has your vote?#NephTwitter
2/ The concept of GFR as a marker of kidney function dates way back to the 1950s. (Apologies to the tubules, we do❤️you!)

But how could we measure GFR??

It was suggested that if a solute had certain characteristics its plasma clearance would = GFR

Let's briefly recap🤓
3/ The solution, INULIN, a non-toxic exogenous molecule, came through studies on aglomerular fish! #AnimalHouse

INULIN renal clearance= measured GFR
It is considered the GOLD standard🏆

But it comes with baggage
🧳It's expensive
🧳It's tedious
🧳It's hardly available anymore
