    Abstract Purpose of review: Although most of the current medical education literature has focused on teaching strategies, little attention has been devoted to selecting appropriate course content. Despite elegant descriptions of physiologic mechanisms in recent decades, medical school curricula and students continue to rely on outdated textbooks and certification examination study aids composed to fit an antiquated exam blueprint.
    Recent findings: Advances in our understanding of potassium physiology offer multiple examples of key concepts that deserve to be included in the modern-day renal physiology curriculum, including the relationship of potassium to blood pressure and the potassium 'switch', the aldosterone paradox, and novel pharmacologic agents that target dietary potassium absorption and potassium handling in the kidney.
    Summary: Key advances in our understanding and application of renal physiology to patient care have not been readily integrated into the nephrology curriculum of medical students. Difficult questions remain regarding when new concepts are sufficiently established to be introduced to medical students in the preclinical years.

    Abstract Metabolic and respiratory acid-base disorders are common in individuals with liver disease and cirrhosis. The most common disorder is respiratory alkalosis, which may be related to dyspnea or respiratory stimulation. Primary metabolic disorders are less common. Although the liver plays a role in metabolism of amino acids and generation of acid from dietary sources, it does not play a role in the regulation of pH. Instead, metabolic disorders may arise from alterations in normal metabolism or from medications, particularly diuretics and osmotic laxatives, used in the treatment of these complex patients. Understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of these disorders can aid in the management of individuals with liver disease in the hospital and in outpatient settings.

    Abstract Although medical schools across the United States have updated their curricula to incorporate active learning techniques, there has been little discussion on the nature of the content presented to students. Here, we share detailed examples of our experience in using original experiments to lay the groundwork for foundational concepts in renal physiology and pathophysiology. We believe that this approach offers distinct advantages over standard case-based teaching by (1) starting with simple concepts, (2) analyzing memorable visuals, (3) increasing graphical literacy, (4) translating observations to "rules," (5) encouraging critical thinking, and (6) providing historical perspective to the study of medicine. Although we developed this content for medical students, we have found that many of these lessons are also appropriate as foundational concepts for residents and fellows and serve as an excellent springboard for increasingly complex discussions of clinical applications of physiology. The use of original experiments for teaching and learning in renal physiology harnesses skills in critical thinking and provides a solid foundation that will help learners with subsequent case-based learning in the preclerkship curriculum and in the clinical arena.

    Abstract Evaluation of patients with acute kidney injury requires comprehensive assessment that includes a urinalysis, which features both semi-quantitative assessment with a urine dipstick and urine microscopy. This process is labor intensive for clinical laboratories, and availability of excellent automated instruments for urinalysis has prompted utilization and acceptance of this strategy by both by laboratories and clinicians. Recently, however, interest in provider performed microscopy has enjoyed a renaissance thanks to both improved microscopy techniques and the endorsement from social media in nephrology. Here, we present two cases of acute kidney injury in which manual microscopy added valuable information to the automated microscopy.

    Abstract In response to decreasing numbers of individuals entering into nephrology fellowships, the American Society of Nephrology launched Kidney TREKS (Tutored Research and Education for Kidney Scholars) to stimulate interest in nephrology among medical students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. The program combines a one-week intensive exposure to kidney physiology with a longitudinal mentorship program at the participants' home institutions. Ten years in, an analysis was conducted to assess its effectiveness. We surveyed participants to assess their opinions regarding nephrology before and after the course and followed them longitudinally to determine their career choices. TREKS applicants who were not selected to participate were used as a comparison group. 381 people participated in the program and 242 completed the survey. After TREKS, both medical students and graduate students showed increased interest in nephrology, with rank scores of 5.6±0.2 pre- to 7.5±0.1 post-course for medical students (mean ± standard deviation, n=189, p=0.001) and 7.3±0.3 to 8.7±0.3 (n=53, p=0.001) for graduate students. In long term follow-up, TREKS medical students chose a nephrology pipeline residency at a higher rate than medical students overall (57% vs. 31%, p=0.01) and TREKS applicants who did not participate (47% vs. 31%, p=0.04). Nephrology fellowship rates for these groups exceeded the general population but did not significantly differ between TREKS participants and applicants. PhD students and postdoctoral TREKS participants had a higher rate of participating in nephrology research compared to TREKS applicants (66% vs. 30%, p=0.01). In summary, the ASN Kidney TREKS program has demonstrated that it can improve interest in nephrology in the short term and increase the number of individuals going into nephrology careers. This long-term effect is most evident in PhD students and postdoctoral participants. Further study is needed to assess the impact of TREKS on enrollment in nephrology fellowship programs.
