Episode 317: Intrinsic renal disease (part 2)

In this episode of MEMcast, we delve further into intrinsic renal disease, exploring the role of urine dipstick testing in differentiating intrinsic renal pathology from other causes of acute kidney injury.

We take a practical approach to interpreting urinary findings, identifying when further immunological investigations are indicated, and understanding when a kidney biopsy should be considered to establish a diagnosis and guide management.

We hope this episode will improve your understanding of intrinsic renal disease, strengthen your clinical reasoning and make your approach to investigating AKI more confident and systematic.
