Amazing beyond words
By Bruno F. on 14. July 2023 for Vascular Disease: Causes – AKI

I did not know it was possible to teach so well as Dr. Sussman does. Even though nephrology is my least favorite part of internal medicine, it is so well explained that I actually enjoy learning it. This lecture, like all others, is so masterfully organized and explained that I can easily process the concepts and correlate them with everything else I have learned so far.

 
Lack of depth.
By Ali J. on 25. April 2023 for Renal Case: 56-year-old Man with Coronary Angiography

When was it mentioned that a ratio of 15:1 is suggestive of tubular injury? I don't think this lecture give enough information to us to specifically call this a ATN. Confusing.

 
Completa y sencilla de entender
By Fernando R. on 02. April 2023 for Assessing Kidney Function: Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) with Case

Una explicación completa y sencilla, me gustó que dió ejemplos de casos. Se la recomiendo a estudiantes de medicina en etapa clínica y como repaso para profesionales de atención primaria.
