I read in an article, about the results of a research study done on 3000 women, by women's hospital in Boston, over the period of 11 years. Those women who had more than 2 glasses of pops containing sweetener ASPARTAME, had double the risk of developing kidney disease or failure.
This article is written by Dr. Parviz Ghadirian who has a PhD in Cancer Epidemiology from McGill University and a PhD in Nutrition from University of Montreal.
As a man with type 2 diabetes, I have been using sweeteners everyday, and wonder, how safe are these sweeteners?
Dear Dr Weinstein
My colleagues and I are impressed by the Verres needle you used in your 'PD Catheter Insertion at the Bedside' video. The Verres needle we have in our centres (actually across England) comes just in one part so it is not to separate the inner part and pass the guidwire through it. Most of my colleagues regrettably stopped using t...
What is the status of compliments in CNI induced HUS,
How do you prevent immunological injury / rejection after withdrawing CNI's on a long term basis...
Hello,
To my knowledge, only patients with active hepatitis B would require that sort of precaution. Even those with Hepatitis C would not. Therefore, my opinion would be that such patients need not undergo isolation. Please consult the CDC regulations regarding dialysis unit infectious precautions included below.

Hi there,
I am trying to learn what apps people are using to help their pts monitor their nutrient intake.
I would love to hear which apps are helpful and which ones are not. Read More...
Hi Susan,
Sorry for the delayed response.
In and of itself, if the hydronephrosis is not associated with the significant renal dysfunction or metabolic acidosis, then I don't see it impacting bone health.

I have gone through a few chapters of the above book and also the Brenner's chapters by the authors. They are well written but I think it would be a good "second book" to read because some knowledge of physiology is assumed in the book....
Hi!
What would be the status of compliments in CNI induced HUS
What's the experience with Basiliximab / Belatacept as rescue for replacing CNI's in denovo HUS
would you introduce mTORI for CNI induced HUS
We increased the dry weight by a kilo and started the sodium modelling. Cramps have significantly reduced. Will see how he progresses over the next few weeks and start Quinine if required. Thanks again....
Hello,
My colleagues at St. Michael's (Drs. Halperin, Goldstein and Kamel) are among the best physiologists in the world. They have written many of the electrolyte chapters in Brenner's Kidney. Their book is different than most classic textbooks, but in my mind, the gold standard to learn about these topics.
A link is included below. I have n...
Hi all. Which, according to you, is the best book on acid-base and electrolytes? The most important quality I'm looking for is intelligibility and readability. Other than that it should address both the physiological and clinical aspects of the topic adequately. Any web resources dedicated exclusively to this topic? Thank you....
Hello,
I personally would not use sublingual products aimed at rapid BP lowering. We have learned from the experience with sublingual nifedipine, for example, that the speed with which blood pressure is lowered might be dangerous. Furthermore, most patients with intradialytic hypertension might rapidly correct once volume removal begins. If they...
