Have you heard of PQQ?

This powerful, vitamin-like nutrient doesn’t just support energy and brain health—it may protect your kidneys from oxidative stress and inflammation. 🧠💪🩺

🔬 Unlike other antioxidants, PQQ actually helps your body grow new mitochondria—the energy engines in your cells. And when it comes to kidney health, that’s a game-changer.

In this blog, we cover:

✅ What makes PQQ unique
✅ How it may slow kidney damage
✅ Safe dosing and precautions
✅ Its role in mitochondrial health, inflammation, and more

💭 Is PQQ the missing link in your kidney health plan?

🗣️ Have you tried it—or are you curious about it?

New research tracking 260,000+ participants reveals a striking link:

People with a history of kidney stones have a 27% higher risk of developing diabetes.

And here's the kicker —

❌ This held true even for those who never took thiazide diuretics.

🧠 Reverse analysis showed the risk goes both ways:

Women with diabetes also had a higher chance of developing kidney stones.

💬 This raises BIG questions:

❓ Are kidney stones a red flag for underlying metabolic dysfunction?
❓ Should people with stones be screened for insulin resistance or prediabetes?
❓ Could lifestyle changes help prevent both diabetes and stone recurrence?

👇 We'd love to hear from you:

Have you or your patients seen this connection in real life? What steps are you taking to break the cycle?

Omega-3 fatty acids aren’t just “heart-healthy”—they’re emerging as one of the most impactful nutritional strategies for protecting kidney function.

From slashing inflammation and reducing proteinuria to lowering blood pressure and improving lipid profiles, Omega-3s directly target many of the root drivers of CKD progression.

Some studies even show benefits in IgA nephropathy and cardiovascular complications, the leading cause of death in CKD patients.

In this blog highlight, we break down how Omega-3s work, why quality matters, ideal dosing insights, and how to integrate them safely into kidney-focused care.

Are Omega-3s the most underused therapy in kidney health?

Swipe through and tell me what you think—questions and comments welcome.

For years, uric acid was treated like a harmless lab number unless a patient had gout.

But the science is clear: elevated uric acid can directly damage blood vessels, trigger inflammation, accelerate kidney decline, and even raise blood pressure.

So this raises an important question:

Are we missing a major, modifiable risk factor for CKD simply because we’ve underestimated uric acid?

We'd love to hear your experiences and questions:

• Has your doctor ever discussed uric acid as a kidney risk factor?

• Have you struggled with gout, kidney stones, or unexplained kidney decline?

• Should uric acid be screened earlier and treated more aggressively?

Let’s talk about it. Drop your thoughts below.

Most people (and many clinicians!) still assume elevated creatinine automatically means kidney injury.

But creatine supplements can mimic kidney disease on lab work without causing actual harm—and that confusion can lead to misdiagnosis, unnecessary testing, and even unnecessary fear.

So the real question is:

Are we blaming creatine for problems it isn’t actually causing?

Or overlooking the people who should avoid it?

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

• Do you (or your patients) use creatine?

• Have you ever seen “false kidney alarms” because of it?

• Should creatine be used more—or avoided more—in kidney care?

Drop your questions, experiences, and reactions below.

🧬 Is the Kidney Quietly Sounding the Alarm in ADPKD—Before Blood Pressure Rises? 🩺💥

A new study just uncovered a surprising clue:

“Even before ADPKD patients develop high blood pressure, their kidneys show signs of intrarenal RAAS activation.”

📈 Young, normotensive patients with ADPKD had:

🔹 No major autonomic or systemic inflammation
🔹 But elevated urinary angiotensinogen (AGT)
🔹 And higher albumin excretion

💡 Translation?

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is being quietly activated inside the kidney long before blood pressure or GFR changes — pointing to an early, hidden driver of disease.

Should we start targeting RAAS in ADPKD before hypertension develops?
Could this change how we screen and treat young patients with ADPKD?

This "blog highlight" challenges one of the most deeply ingrained beliefs in kidney care: that CKD patients should avoid fruits, vegetables, and other potassium-rich plant foods.

Emerging evidence says the opposite—and the implications for CKD management are enormous.

So…

Are we restricting the wrong foods?

Are patients being unnecessarily deprived of the very nutrients that could help them most?

Is it time to rethink potassium guidelines altogether?

We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Do you think plant-based eating is underused in CKD care?

What worries you most about potassium with kidney disease?

Let’s talk in the comments.

Yes, your gut could be silently accelerating your kidney disease.

This isn’t just about probiotics. We’re talking about toxic metabolites like TMAO and IS—produced when dysbiosis meets the wrong diet.

➡️ Why aren’t more nephrology clinics addressing the microbiome?
➡️ What are we missing in CKD care?

Let’s talk:

💬 Do you think gut health is being overlooked in kidney care?
