    I just wanted to say that I appreciate that the nurses/clinicians are animated diversely.
  • Good job. The content is impressive. 12:30 calcium gluconate is NOT a potassium lowering agent. We give it to protect the heart from hyperkalemia. I should also mention that Niacin Vitamin b3 is also a very good choice as a phosphate binder .

  • My gfr has been in the 20 to 30. For over a year now. My doctor didn't seemed not to alarm about it.
  • Whats the name of investigation to check BUN and eGFR? And what are the common Nephrotoxic drugs?
  • @Jaisonsrose
    I would like to request video related to pharmacology management.
  • @chericebt4332
    I think it should have stated just refer to a renal dietitian for total nutrition instead of a nurse advising on foods.

    Nice video with the exception of the naming of "clients" instead of patients. Health is not everywhere a business, and sick people are not simply consumers of services - at least not from a humanitarian point of view. It's standard Osmosis practice, but it's really a stain on your fantastic work.

    Patient * not client . This is medicine!
