Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC Welcome to tonight’s #NephJC. If you’ve ever stopped an ACEi/ARB during an AKI and wondered if and when to restart them and also whether that decision has any renal and mortality outcomes, today’s discussion should be fun. #NephJC | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil RT @NephJC: Welcome to tonight’s #NephJC. If you’ve ever stopped an ACEi/ARB during an AKI and wondered if and when to restart them and also whether that decision has any renal and mortality outcomes, today’s discussion should be fun. #NephJC | |

Edgar V. Lerma 🇵🇭 @edgarvlermamd We do not yet know whether stopping RAAS blockade in stage 4 or 5 CKD improves outcomes ... await @STOPACEi_trial findings 📌 This was one of the controversies raised during @goKDIGO #KDIGOBPinCKD 🇬🇧 meeting #Nephpearls #NephJC 👉🏼 https://t.co/KMgogkWfVC https://t.co/xlUa2BIJGt | |
Jay Koyner @jaykoyner hi nephjc lukring tonight - t here to learn a little about AKI from @nipannu COI- I am an AKI researcher and run a post-AKI clinic #nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC Laurie @roxytonin showed that a creat rise after *starting* ACEi/ARB can be ominous - discussed on #NephJC here https://t.co/7ZVpF2sh2r | |
Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks 0.3 increase in creat #nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC @Roxytonin But that doesn’t tell us if we should stop - or start - or restart ACEi/ARB after AKI #NephJC | |
Suneel Udani @CaptainKidney79 Hello fellow nephrons. Mostly lurking tonight. Looking forward to interesting discussion #nephjc | |
Angel Cesar Ortiz @AngelCesarOrtiz Perlas. #NephJC | |

James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph @edgarvlermamd @STOPACEi_trial @goKDIGO However, a Chinese trial from 2005 showed that non-DM patients with Cr 3.5-5 and UPC >1 did better with benazepril 40 mg/d than without. #NephJC | |
Hector Madariaga, MD FASN 🇲🇽 @HecmagsMD @NephJC @Roxytonin Or “when” after AKI... #Nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC @dr_nikhilshah @drseanbagshaw More the merrier..#nephjc | |
Suneel Udani @CaptainKidney79 Sorry, no COI (I’m a bit of newbie with this thing) #nephjc | |
Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks I think important point is the blood pressure. so much more going on than just creat changes #nephjc | |
Nikhil Shah MBBS DNB(IM, Neph)🇨🇦 @dr_nikhilshah Thanks, some other time!! Lets hope #Oilers win today. #nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC Alright lets start with some background. T0: What is your usual clinical practice regarding ACEIs/ARBs in the AKI setting? Do you always stop? #NephJC | |
Paul A Welling,@PAWellingMD@med-mastodon.com @PAWellingMD Better late than never. No COI here to learn about AKI, and give free Physiology consults #nephjc | |

Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC @HecmagsMD @Roxytonin Tru that #nephjc | |
Nikhil Shah MBBS DNB(IM, Neph)🇨🇦 @dr_nikhilshah @NephJC Usual practice - stop/watch /restart #nephjc | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil fellows always stop ACEi/ARB for AKI consults. I stealthily often restart....most stoppages unnecessary IMO (grade: expert opinion) #nephjc | |
Samira Farouk, MD, MSCR @ssfarouk @NephJC Usual practice is stop with low threshold to restart once clinical picture clearer #NephJC | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC @PAWellingMD Welcome to #nephjc Paul | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC RT @hswapnil: fellows always stop ACEi/ARB for AKI consults. I stealthily often restart....most stoppages unnecessary IMO (grade: fellows always stop ACEi/ARB for AKI consults. I stealthily often restart....most stoppages unnecessary IMO (grade: expert opinion) #nephjc | |
Angel Cesar Ortiz @AngelCesarOrtiz @NephJC Always... As a dogma #NephJC | |
Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks @hswapnil so creatinine increasing 4 -- 5---- 6 ---- you are starting back. interesting #nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC Question 2 : If you do stop RAASi, at what point post recovery do you reconsider restarting these medications? #NephJC | |
Graham Abra, MD @GrahamAbra Graham Abra here nephrologist, equal opportunity dialyzer, can’t stop, won’t stop the RAAS blockade #nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC And once you restart ACEIs/ARBs post recovery, what is the usual practice regarding follow up for creatinine and Potassium? #NephJC | |
Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks i have a hard time lumping the 0.3 with the 4-5x increases. apples and oranges. #nephjc | |
Suneel Udani @CaptainKidney79 @NephJC Stop/watch and restart in outpatient follow-up. Have to prove that they will follow-up to monitor K, Cr. #nephjc | |
Arvind Canchi (Conjeevaram)🇮🇳 @arvindcanchi #nephjc | |
Nikhil Shah MBBS DNB(IM, Neph)🇨🇦 @dr_nikhilshah #nephjc | |
Jeremie Lever, MD, PhD @JeremieLever MD/PhD student in grad school phase at UAB. First time participating in #nephjc !! AKI researcher | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil @Nephro_Sparks hope you are going to delete that tweet ;-) If creat is rising despite stopping ACEi/ARB...#NephJC | |
Gates Colbert, MD @DoctorGates T0: I stop ACEI/ARB with AKI, usually suspend it so we can easily remember to restart when recovering or planning discharge. #nephjc | |
Jay Koyner @jaykoyner @hswapnil how does one restart a med stealthfuly in the day and age of EMR? #nephjc | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil RT @Nephro_Sparks: i have a hard time lumping the 0.3 with the 4-5x increases. apples and oranges. #nephjc | |
James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph Oops...#NephJC | |
Graham Abra, MD @GrahamAbra @Nephro_Sparks @hswapnil Bold #NephJC | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil @JeremieLever welcome to #NephJC Jeremie! | |
Gates Colbert, MD @DoctorGates @NephJC I think this is a subjective call that will yield 100+ answers. I like the Cr to be near baseline and risk of HyperK resolved. #NephJC | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC @Nephro_Sparks Important point...rather than specific numbers focus on the clinical scenario #nephjc | |
Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks @jaykoyner @hswapnil it is a dream... he is also giving contrast and NSAIDS #nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC RT @CaptainKidney79: @NephJC Stop/watch and restart in outpatient follow-up. Have to prove that they will follow-up to monitor K, Cr. #nephjc | |
Nikhil Shah MBBS DNB(IM, Neph)🇨🇦 @dr_nikhilshah I agree - When does one start is bit of a challenge - I think it depends on why the patient was on ACEi/ARB in the first place. - What about you @nipannu #nephjc | |
Raymond Hsu @DrRaymondHsu Big pet peeve when fellows template in "avoid nephrotoxins, e.g. NSAIDS, ACEi/ARB, etc" LOL #nephjc | |
Graham Abra, MD @GrahamAbra @NephJC Labs in 1-2 weeks #NephJC | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC @nipannu @dr_nikhilshah Dont forget to use #nephjc | |
Samira Farouk, MD, MSCR @ssfarouk @DoctorGates @NephJC Why near baseline? Even if AKI episode does not recover to baseline, data would suggest benefit with RAAS blockade #NephJC | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil @Nephro_Sparks now you are pushing your luck Sparky ...this is not #RenalJC #NephJC | |
James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph @NephJC One thing I’ve never understood is the race to restart the ACEi/ARB. These meds provide protection long-term, so what’s the hurry after an episode of AKI? On the other hand, the results from today’s study seem to cast a pall over even that practice...#NephJC | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil RT @JamesNovakNeph: Oops...#NephJC | |
Hector Madariaga, MD FASN 🇲🇽 @HecmagsMD @NephJC My approach: Usually between 3-7 days (not evidence-base, obviously) #Nephjc | |
Neesh Pannu @nipannu @dr_nikhilshah I think this is what most of us do #nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC @JeremieLever Welcome to #nephjc Jeremie. Glad to have you | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil QFT #NephJC | |
Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks OMG. #RenalJC is what it feels like for sure. #nephjc | |
Pranav Garimella @pranavgarimella Pranav Garimella, @ucsdnephrology. no COI #NephJC Lurking while doing groceries | |
Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks People need to be patient and restart the meds 2 week checkup in my clinic. its going to be ok. #nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC Next Q: At the risk of polarising the discussion even b4 we get started, where do you stand on “Sick day rules” - Evidence based practice that benefits pts or to quote @charlietomson “its a complex intervention that needs further evaluation not unthinking implementation”? #NephJC | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil RT @JamesNovakNeph: @NephJC One thing I’ve never understood is the race to restart the ACEi/ARB. These meds provide protection long-term, so what’s the hurry after an episode of AKI? On the other hand, the results from today’s study seem to cast a pall over even that practice...#NephJC | |
Raymond Hsu @DrRaymondHsu @hswapnil @jaykoyner is there evidence for potential harm of stopping ACE/ARB? #nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC #NephJC https://t.co/3n6ZOr5Qvi | |
Edgar V. Lerma 🇵🇭 @edgarvlermamd Quick #NephJC #Nephpearls poll: This poll will close in 24 hours ‼️ If you see are called to see an AKI in-patient (for acute rise in Creatinine), and they are on ACE-i or ARB, aside from the usual AKI work up, would you: | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil @pranavgarimella @ucsdnephrology hey Pranav - welcome to #NephJC (missed you at #KidneyWk) | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil RT @NephJC: #NephJC https://t.co/3n6ZOr5Qvi | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC This SR https://t.co/isAUcfvXfM by @roxytonin @charlietomson et al concluded that “There is no evidence of the impact of drug cessation interventions on AKI incidence during intercurrent illness in primary or secondary care” #NephJC | |
Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks I think if mild AKI and now threat of dialysis with good BP (or hypertension) I might be convinced to keep in going #nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC This paper https://t.co/3Y1V7cFO3I from @roxytonin concludes that “Treatment with ACEI/ARB is associated with only a small increase in AKI risk while individual patient characteristics are much more strongly associated with the rate of AKI” #NephJC | |
Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks but if hypotension and AKI with threat of dialysis. I am stopping no matter what the study says. #nephjc | |
Suneel Udani @CaptainKidney79 IMO critical to remember that our patients do not have the dogged oversight of clinical trial subjects. If they can’t make it to a follow up appointment to have labs checked, do we really think that ACE-I/ARB is going to prevent their CKD progression? #nephjc | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC @Roxytonin aka its not the *ACEi/ARB itself* - its the *patient who needs an ACEi/ARB* that is the true risk factor for AKI #NephJC | |
Arvind Canchi (Conjeevaram)🇮🇳 @arvindcanchi @NephJC @CharlieTomson Important advice this, the sick day rules. But consult your doc first on when to stop and when to restart. #nephjc | |
Graham Abra, MD @GrahamAbra I tell people to hold the RAAS on sick days and restart when taking PO reliably again #NephJC | |
Gates Colbert, MD @DoctorGates @ssfarouk @NephJC True they may not get to previous baseline. A better term would be the apparent nadir creatinine. #nephjc | |
Samira Farouk, MD, MSCR @ssfarouk @Nephro_Sparks I think key to stopping is to be vigilant to restart. Benefit unlikely to be lost after stopping for a few days or so inpatient #NephJC | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil @DrRaymondHsu @jaykoyner good Q. Not sure - but @methodsmanmd had ACEi/ARB in AKI as his #DreamRCT https://t.co/wtSkrBuY82 #NephJC | |
Nikhil Shah MBBS DNB(IM, Neph)🇨🇦 @dr_nikhilshah #nephjc | |
Neesh Pannu @nipannu @GrahamAbra Agreed #nephjc | |
Pranav Garimella @pranavgarimella @hswapnil @ucsdnephrology Thanks, yup I was really hoping to meet at #NephJC party, but couldn’t. That’s the problem with having #KidneyWk at home... don’t get a break from domestic chores! | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC +1 #nephjc | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil RT @NephJC: This SR https://t.co/isAUcfvXfM by @roxytonin @charlietomson et al concluded that “There is no evidence of the impact of drug cessation interventions on AKI incidence during intercurrent illness in primary or secondary care” #NephJC | |
James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph @Nephro_Sparks To that point, people often forget to restart the ACEi/ARB once the patient starts dialysis. FOSIDIAL and others showed LVH regression in HD patients with RAS blockade. #NephJC | |
Arvind Canchi (Conjeevaram)🇮🇳 @arvindcanchi @Nephro_Sparks That is a tad late in the day, me thinks.... #nephjc | |
Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks @ssfarouk let the dust settle. if you are going to restart then someone needs to see in 1-2 weeks post discharge. If they are my patient. I will do it #NephJC | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil QFT #NephJC | |
Angel Cesar Ortiz @AngelCesarOrtiz RT @DrRaymondHsu: Big pet peeve when fellows template in "avoid nephrotoxins, e.g. NSAIDS, ACEi/ARB, etc" LOL #nephjc | |
Suneel Udani @CaptainKidney79 @NephJC @CharlieTomson Simple, rational rule that shouldn’t need a randomized trial for implementation. #nephjc | |
Hector Madariaga, MD FASN 🇲🇽 @HecmagsMD @Nephro_Sparks @hswapnil I’ve seen this dose prescribed by other docs... 🤨 #Nephjc | |
Jay Koyner @jaykoyner @hswapnil @DrRaymondHsu @jaykoyner @methodsmanmddont know of any harm from stopping not sure been looked at from a BP or hrt fucnt #nephjc | |
James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph @DrRaymondHsu They also call diuretics “nephrotoxins;” paradoxically, diuretics are “nephrosaviors” in venous congestion-mediated AKI (i.e, CHF). #NephJC | |
Arvind Canchi (Conjeevaram)🇮🇳 @arvindcanchi @Nephro_Sparks Oh no, I was saying that I stop early! #NephJC | |
Samira Farouk, MD, MSCR @ssfarouk @Nephro_Sparks Agree - but I think post-discharge inertia is a big problem for many #NephJC | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil @CaptainKidney79 @NephJC @CharlieTomson but with little evidence OTOH: It may be too late if stopped when sick Patients may be confused about which one to stop they may forget to restart good meds #NephJC | |
Jay Koyner @jaykoyner @jaykoyner @hswapnil @DrRaymondHsu but suspect lots of increased exposure to agents like hydralazine inits place ain't great #nephjc | |
James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph @HecmagsMD @Nephro_Sparks @hswapnil It’s a good proteinuria dose. Supramaximal ACEi/ARB decreases UPC without affecting BP or K. #NephJC | |
Hector Madariaga, MD FASN 🇲🇽 @HecmagsMD @DrRaymondHsu I usually list all the NSAIDs; trade name and generic...) 😬 #Nephjc | |
Arvind Canchi (Conjeevaram)🇮🇳 @arvindcanchi Great point. #Nephjc | |
Neesh Pannu @nipannu @ssfarouk @Nephro_Sparks This inertia was what we were trying to look at in fact. #nephjc | |

Neesh Pannu @nipannu @NephJC @JAMAIM thanks all - this was interesting! #nephjc | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil @JamesNovakNeph @NephJC good catch! Any comments on diff in survival after early ACEi/ARB start, @nipannu? (table 4) #NephJC | |
Samira Farouk, MD, MSCR @ssfarouk @Nephro_Sparks @RossNesbit Yes! And nephrologists need to be ACTIVE participants in the care plan #NephJC | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil RT @nipannu: @NephJC Given the markedly elevated risk of cardiovascular events after AKI my suspicion is that ACE/ARB is either a marker of care or it prevents cardiovascular events #nephjc | |

Samuel Silver 🇨🇦🇮🇱 @drsamsilver RT @Nephro_Sparks: @RossNesbit I just think we need people to step up to the plate and have followup upon discharge instead of just assuming someone else will do it. PostAKI care is important. #NephJC | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil @Nephro_Sparks @ssfarouk @RossNesbit but not me....you don't trust me Sparky #SulkingInACorner #NephJC | |
Neesh Pannu @nipannu @hswapnil @JamesNovakNeph @NephJC may speak to mechanisms of benefit - only RCT will tell us that #nephjc | |
Matthew Sparks, MD @Nephro_Sparks The numbers: 355 Tweets. 61 Participants. November 13th 2018. More #NephJC 📊 here https://t.co/OWAW78i69g via @symplur | |
Graham Abra, MD @GrahamAbra @ssfarouk Good question, the hyperK CKD pts on RAASi are a subgroup that deserve study, will giving them dual RAASi plus K binder improve outcomes? I smell a combo pill... #NephJC | |
Nikhil Shah MBBS DNB(IM, Neph)🇨🇦 @dr_nikhilshah #nephjc For me the important points were - 1) Stop/Watch/Restart 2) Pay attention to who follows up 3) Encourage restarting instead of letting it go - as there seems to be a benefit!! 4) Need to team up with PCP/community physicians 5) ACEi/ARBs - continue to be good | |
Nephrology Journal Club @NephJC Last few minutes: What’s your take home message? #NephJC | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil @nipannu @JamesNovakNeph @NephJC is there an RCT ongoing like this? #NephJC | |

devika nair md msci @devimol @nipannu @NephJC agree - saw that 17% of the cohort had a CV-related cause of index hospitalization #NephJC | |

Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil @NephJC I think @nipannu nailed it: ACEi/ARB use = likely marker of good care At least no safety signal that it makes things worse... #NephJC | |

Suneel Udani @CaptainKidney79 @Nephro_Sparks @RossNesbit Simple rule: if we stop a medicine (RAAS blockade, diuretics, even antibiotics), we have to be involved at least until it has been resumed safely (assuming still needed) or we have helped monitor response to alternative. Our duty is to the patient, not just their kidneys #nephjc | |
James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph @hswapnil @NephJC @nipannu Maybe we should wait at least 3 months to restart ACE/ARB after AKI, based on Table 4. #NephJC | |
Angel Cesar Ortiz @AngelCesarOrtiz @ssfarouk @Nephro_Sparks @RossNesbit @nefrocmnlr We should consider any of this strategies. Important to conclude about the following. We should see this inpatient AKI consults in few week later to consider restarting any meds. #NephJC | |

Ross Nesbit @RossNesbit @GrahamAbra @ssfarouk Or in this case, combo packets? 😉 #nephjc | |
Swapnil Hiremath @hswapnil@bsky.social @hswapnil @Nephro_Sparks @ssfarouk @RossNesbit Phew. I promise I won't give her contrast (unless needed)...or NSAIDs (unless really needed to avoid baclofen/tramadol). #NephJC | |

Eric Weinhandl @eric_weinhandl ACEi/ARB use and beta blocker use are so intertwined in CKD-4/5. I'm not sure that pharmacoepi studies can assess one without simultaneously assessing the other. Covariate adjustment may not be enough. Unfortunately, such analysis is not easy. #NephJC | |

Sreejith Parameswaran @SreejithDr @arvindcanchi @NephJC I do stop in almost all instances of #AKI, but retstart at the earliest, once renal function recovers / stabilise #NephJC. | |

Ross Nesbit @RossNesbit @Nephro_Sparks @AngelCesarOrtiz @ssfarouk @nefrocmnlr I often tell people that: Will see them in office for follow up - and see them wearing regular clothes instead of a gown. #nephjc | |
