Nephrology: Foundations

Thanks dr raj love the way you are teaching with all this integration

So cool, so funny, making it easy. Love this professor

Awesome It explained it down to the nitty gritty aspects Much appreciated

Too good, is what I was looking for the topic

really want to learn about SIADH, oh,,,, Dr. Raj. hard stop

Hello lecturers Team Brilliant lecturers from Dr C. Raj. Especially differential diagnostics in terms of pathology.And diff diagnostics are outstanding.

Hello Lecturio team I am very much appreciated the Renal Diagnostics by Dr. Carlo Raj. A very detailed way and with clinical examples. Overall, lecturio courses have a very deep logics in it. Particularly Dr Rajs has great way of explaining and very much captivates your attention, because he explains and seeing problems from many angles if you like , almost like a MRI scan. I also watch in my language as well.

Mon ami, magnifique! Doesn't Require me ten words to say it.

Bravo Bien entendu, of course.  The pieces slowly coming together whith each lecture. Adh chemical from brain regulating water channels TAL upstream  DCT downstream concentration/dilute Salt/water Sure there is a canal chamber lock analogy here somewhere. These little grey cells.

Dr. Raj is breaking this down and is the reason I will likely resub my lecturio. Clear, concise, and engaging.

This is an excellent lecture that integrates other body systems and applies the effects to the kidneys. Understanding where and why all of the hormones act on the nephron was thoroughly and expertly explained. Very, very well done.

Amazing!!!! Thank you Dr Raj. Please keep his pathology series and also the associated physiology review.

The lectures are pretty good but many of the ddx are dependent on the histo, EM, IM, etc findings. PLEASE provide a pointer for future lectures. Simply describing what we should be seeing is not as helpful - it's difficult to follow along.

Just I need to get this course for my exam and i am progressing with Dr.Raj confidently...Thanks for all

Thank you a lot for this lecture. It is so clear and organised in a way that makes all of the informations comprehensible and logic !

Dr Carlo Raj is excellent teacher that manages to keep me both attentive and interested in the topic. He seems to have a good understanding of key topics and what is important to medical students.

man i really find it hard to understand the lectures

I'm sorry but I can't seem to understand him, it feels like he's revising the new subject to me instead of teaching it.

Well explained .Full of concepts and differentials.and gud humour

the presentation is easy to understand.. it is easier for me to understand the topic im reading in the textbook..

very good explain in simplest way , I am a physiology student, thanks Dr.

very useful lecture. The graph is very informative and helps one understand renal physiology.

Great summary and extraordinary explanation of each one of the diseases

Dr C Roy has a very pragmatic approach that makes more sense when recalling

Congratulations! Complete review !!! Excelent, high level questions. Best review I have seen about the topic!

Excellent content. Concepts are precise, accurate and presented in a fun, enjoyable manner.

The 5 star description says, "I like it very much", well that sums it up!

Best lecturer! Clear and concise summaries with all important information provided. Keep Up the great work!

Great lectures, Dr. Raj! My 8 yr old convinced me to rate before I finished the lecture series.

Helpful, demonstrated good insights and teaches in an enjoyable and logical manner

Enthusiastic, to the point, interesting lessons which are enjoyable and educational

easily explained .well organized . Mentioned what we need to know with explanations .

the lecture is informative and the slides are also good. I would like to see something similar to the (eBook) PDF that was done in the cardiovascular pathology section in the renal section too though

Wonderful lecture explaining a difficult topic. I love Dr. Raj lectures! Looking forward to more Dr. Raj.

It was informative lecture, the way of explaining the idea and make away to simplify informations was perfect Also putting every information in a clinical scenario was helpful I wish that doctor raj make lectures for all the subjects, his way in explaining is so so special, and he keeps it easier to keep the information for a long term

he is very good, and fun! thankyou doctor carlo raj. best regards, med stud from indonesia

I think that Dr Raj is simply amazing because he has the ability to make even the most intricated concepts clear and easy to understand!

Very good lecture, where guidelines for each condition are enhanced.

great lecture series thanks a loot, helped me to truly understand the things going on in the nephron plus some pharma and great pathology overview ,highly recommended

A lot of repetitions which make it perfect to memorize, normal speed of talking - not too fast, not too slow

Couldn’t be done better thank you dr raj ,very helpful

This guy is awesome!, clear and straight forward. I love the way he motivates me to just keep the important data and let go unnecessary details.

Dr Raj is very wonderful! He made the most difficult topics to look simple and easy to understand. Nice lectures

Best lecture. I like the video.I read the slide with this lecture that help me to understand the our lecture.

I find Dr .Raj to be energetic, fun and I appreciate him taking the time to teach us concepts and foundations as opposed to blindly memorizing facts. Enjoying his series thoroughly!

I loved the lecture, I learned things I didn’t know. Like it very much.

The content is great, it's just hard to understand. Dr Raj knows a lot, but it's hard to understand everything. So it's like a Ferrari without wheels, you have the power, but it struggles getting you somewhere. It's not the ideal scenario with something like this, like pathology, and because of the amount of content in the program. Like I said, other than that, great.

It is great how Dr. Raj integrates pathophysiology with clinical correlations, including pharmacology and its mechanisms.

Dr. Raj is a very good teacher. He always finds a fast way to bring relevant review information, as well as clinical references.

The best lecturer I have ever met. What a gifted teacher. Words cannot explain. An asset to Lecturio family. Thank you teacher.

Good presentation and good pronunciation for being foreign. Thanks for the difference between urea and uric acid.

Was good lecture .........but can you expand more on diagnosis and treatment

The explanations are very good and concise. Nonetheless, specially in these topics, we need to see more images, there are a lot of glomerular damage patterns even for the same disease (e.g. FSGN) and I do not think there were enough images to learn them. Also, a pointer is needed, Dr. Raj described numerous glomerular lesions and sometimes it was difficult to follow his descriptions as he didn’t have a pointer to help him locate those lesions. Even with these problems I really liked how Dr. Raj really emphasized the diseases patterns and reminded them almost in every video (E.g. SubEPIthelial in PSGN).

I LOVE the lecture but i'm having difficult time understanding it. I had to watch and stop and write to understand it.. maybe more diagrams? or break it down :)

Dr. Raj Explains topic with finesse and maintains the balance with his quirky dialogues.

Dig deep! These lectures make you think! Very deep content and worth the work of understanding them.

Very pleasant pace of lecture and clear explanation. Also love the quick and personal response on the questions on the forum. Really makes me feel like I am in the lecture hall itself.

not really engaging, hard to hear and understand. Didn't understand some of what he was saying

Organized and informative. Made me remember the key points easily. A pointer is needed to illustrate the graphics.

very clear, and easy to remember all the points, and it is very helpful to understand

dr raj is really good at making the lectures interesing, fun and informative.

This lecture is quick, has good examples and is straight to the point.

Great presentation, complete and educational. Questions are very helpful. Thank you

Perfect , Well explained , excellent teacher , The best pathology course alv

I wish he was on my Med school as my teacher , But Thanks god lecturio Exists and now he is our pathology teacher

Brilliant! Dr. Raj focuses on understanding and establishes foundation knowledge for you to build on. Extremely helpful.

excillent lecture ,Teacher and presentation ,Just recommend to use pointer when Explain on dighram .

Very complicated topic that it's not explain with enough clarity

thank you Dr. Raj very good series , you explained it well and repeated the information a lot to be memorized

B12 is produced by bacteria. Almost all vegans know we have to consume it with supplements, I heard it a thousand times already. We don't need any animal products to have enough B12, stop spreading misconceptions. How about telling about how eating too much purine (daily meat) may causes gout? It's much more common.

The best teacher , his sense of humor make the lectures more fun

In the beginning I did not understand some of the topics, but after number of repetions I understood the subjects explained. Send questions in nephrology and other subjects. My feedback is positive even though at first it was not so.

The pathology course is so good, excellent explanation , to tell you the truth, I love it !! You have everything about Pathology USMLE under Lecturio to your success.

The topics were explained clearly. Confusing topics/concepts were made less confusing. I actually enjoyed learning this subject.

As always I enjoy and learn so much from you Dr. Raj

It's always useful to see a good review of hard subjects like this.

Most lectures about nephron segment is kind of boring. But I really like Dr. Raj's passionate and clear explanation, and the way he sophisticated getting knowledge connected with clinical application. It's the best nephron segment lecture ever.

Awesome lecture. It was so clear to listen to. Dr. Shukle has provided a great presentation that is easy to understand.

One of the most confusing concept is explained very clearly in a short video!!

pasto colombia. Gran resumen, los cuadros resumen facilita mucho recordar y el Quiz al final de cada tema me ayudaba a reforzar lo que aprendí

Finally I understand the concept or the BUN/Cr ratio and the difference between prerenal and intrinsic

He explained many problem in glomerulonephritis very clearly. I 'll appreciate that.

Doctor, you are great! I've been struggling with nephrology for some time, and after trying many sources and attending multiple classes, I can finally say I found something that really makes everything very clear. I'm having some really beautiful days studying now. Thank you!

Ugly way of explaining. Weird pronounciation. Not so clear explanation.

There was a profound description of physiopathology, with emphasis on the clinical elements that helped lead to diagnosis. There was a lack of precision regarding diagnostic cut-off values, treatment and follow-up.

the doctor really simplified the whole thing...i'll find this much easier to remember

This was hard for me to undersand and now I get it THANKS!!!

Love how he can make something difficult into an easy learning experience. Excellent clases, with funny quotes that make you smile.

Excellent and understandable! Not confusing at all and goes straight to the point!

Lectures are short and precise,highlighting the most critical points

Succintly summarised with contstant references back to other relevant topics

The lecture is awesome, It really helped me understanding Glomerulonephritis. The lecturer is excellent, slides are excellent, repeating was crucial for this topic. I would recommend this to all medical students, who are struggling to understand Glomerulonephritis. Very Helpful.

thank you so mush it was helpful thank you so mush it was helpful

thank you so mush it was helpful thank you so mush it was helpful

I love the way Carlo teaches what may seem as complex concepts so simply. easy to understand and with such humor. I am enjoying this lecture series. Can listen to him all day. Thank you Carlo.

I loved the questions attached with this lecture, very appropriate and I feel more confident in this area now.

i like the lecture bcz its so organised and so useful thank you all

Dr. Raj is great! His presentations are interesting, to the point and you DO learn, even when somewhat tired. I enjoy and look forward to seeing these lectures.

In my country ( Cambodia ), we don't have USMLE exam but this course helped me to be more understandable and more practical in my career.

u just made renal pathology easy for me loved the tables and algorithms u made thanks Dr.Carlo Raj

Thorough and patient presentation of an often problematic topic to a lot of students and practising physicians

Very knowledgeable and soothing voice. Helps with remembering things more efficiently

Thank you Dr Raj!!!! finally understand this complicated topic. Dr Raj is the best.

Dr Raj is definitely the best always make things appear so simple

Great, succinct, and well taught lecture. I did not find it confusing.

Amazing! I really get the material, Dr. Raj! I love how you keep reinforcing the material during each lecture!

Thank you so much, Dr. Raj for making me understand pathology concepts! You truly are an amazing teacher!!!

Great lecture. Absolutely the best for boards, Keep up the great work

everything 4 boards are covered and the narrator really gives main road of the subject

Temarios muy importantes. Videos con explicasiones que ayuda mucho para aprender sobre el campi de la medicina.

Great lectures. I like how Dr. Raj integrates other renal pathologies into his teaching of renal failure, rather than treating renal failure as a completely separate entity.

One of the best Lecturers on lecturio hands down. Defined one of the best explanations I’ve gotten on this topic

Simple way to understand the RAAS system and the meds associated with it.

As always, Dr. Raj’s lectures are clear, concise, and memorable. He has a unique, honed talent for explaining this material. I have been in school for a long time, and had many professors. I am not exaggerating when I say that Dr. Raj is the best medical lecturer ever formed.

His fluid, conversational presentation style really makes it stick. I do not want my classmates to know about him.

I don't like the use of acronyms when speaking because it is very distracting. Important content is all in the lecture which is a good thing, but I'd much rather use the pathoma videos for this topic.

Very helpful, succinct and easy to understand. Lecturer is excellent.

It was great because I achieved to understand in detail a very complex topics. Thanks

The instructor is knowledgeable and makes the lectures fun. I love him.

Great lecture series. Very in depth and it ties physiology, pathology, and pharmacology all together

The lecturer does a great job at keeping the presentation interesting, however he rushed over several points in the topics to the point in which he ignored some of the information present in his slides. Also, it feels out of place when he jumps to different topics that have little to nothing to do with the present lecture. Finally, the lecture feels SO rushed that he missed key aspects of the pathology of every desease he talked about, especially Potter Sequence and its etiologies.

i like his fun attitude to teaching. It works for me!

very good lecture, concise and high yield. very helpful for the boards

This guy is indeed the new professor Goljan. I am speechless. So much material covered.

Liked but another lecture not opened yet so not liked

clear teaching and repetition, thanks. Learnt a lot. Clinically useful. thanks

He teaches just not to pass our boards, but to become greater physicians! Dr. Goljan should be proud, this man is God sent!

Helped me a lot understanding this subject! Carlo Raj's videos har really good.

Best lecture i have ever seen..concise with high yield topics.

amazing, thanks to lecturio I can revise very fast and this will make ma a better doctor

Good very good,I like the lectures.Good very good,I like the lectures. Good very good,I like the lectures.

very nice lecture and good tips. i should follow you earlier

This was a good course because the lecturer gave examples and explanations.

The material is valuable because it's clear and concise, but dr. Raj has an annoying and hard to understand accent and weird manner of teaching.

I really like Dr. Raj lectures but, why these videos don't have subtitles?

Very informative and organized , keep the good work Thank you

This is about the best lectures I have had all my life. I like it very much because the lectures are very explicit, The approach is fantastic. And the tutors are very experienced. They have a full grab of the subjects they teach. The team is like a conglomerate of experts from all fields of medical science. It has really helped in my studies in medical school. With Lecturio, there's no dull moment. It's actually a huge privilege for those of us studying Medicine and Surgery in Africa. I recommend Lecturio for everyone who want to excel in medical practice all over the world! Kudos to all the erudite tutors in the house! Hope to see more of you in Lecturio videos. You're all wonderful! From: APATA OLABANJI SYLVESTER COLLEGE OF MEDICINE UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS, LAGOS, NIGERIA. WEST AFRICA. (e-mail: olabanjiapata@yahoo.com)

Lecturio is a solid and highly efficient learning Platform. Dr. Raj is a seasoned communicator, and has just the right balance of serious professional demeanor, clarity of speech and concepts, and good humor you want in a Teacher. This lecture, like the others I’ve watched so far, is excellent stuff!

I understand, but I think, the lesson needs drawings and diagrams, but is very well, thanks

Congratulations once more, Dr. Raj. Learning is much funnier when lecturers have a good sense of humour. Explaining the management of Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus is not an easy task, but putting humour the middle of that is even harder. You succeeded very well in both tasks. I liked it specially when you said "go to the clinic, kickbutt and be hoisted by your collagues" after discussing the wise intersection of topics between pathology (bipolar disease, and its chronic lithium treatment) and pharmacology (amiloride). Ingenious!

It would be nice if the material was presented in a less intense manner. It feels more like he is prepping football players for a big game. It is very distracting. Perhaps, if the lecture didn't feel so choppy it would be more enjoyable.

Dr Raj is super cool!!!! I finally understood the concepts of transport and the respective pathologies!

I loved how you dissected the topic so clearly, making clear distinctions between the different classes of drugs, how they work, where they work, why we use them and who needs them. GREAT lecture.

Dr. Shukle is amazing. His lecture is so clear and "pin points" what we need to know. Thanks for your help !

Please replace Dr. Raj. I feel like I am being preached to and not reached! I believe he knows the subject matter but his delivery is not nice.

It needs more clinical correlation with diseases in the IV fluids For example, when to use normal saline or when to use dextrose this will make our understanding better

Explained easily and good diagrams. Good at pointing out key concepts.

great great lecture!! thank you so much Dr. Raj :) one of the best lecture i have ever watched.. you made learning so much fun :)

Hi I liked it because it's concise and clinically related.I think more pictures of patients gross and microscopic demonstrations will be of great benefit.Also, more emphasis to differentiate them from glomerual diseases is encaraged

Clear explanation given by sir. He explains everything very clearly. Love his lectures ????

I enjoyed this lecture because the physiology was linked into clinical practice giving it context. Good use of questions as well.

What an amazing teacher, and just about right amount of information.

I would definitely recommend this course. Very concise yet informative - Dr. Raj provides you with all the pertinent information.

very good.it is one of the best video of cardiology.

Great presentation, great explanations. At the end, finally, everything fits into their place! wonderful.

Dr Raj is outstanding, and these lectures are excellent. These are perfect for preparing for medical exams. Detailed, in depth, and concise, I am hugely impressed.

I like use Dr. Raj lecture series as my adjunct professor to my course work. I am visual learner and I supplement my readings with as many free lectures available.

Going through this lecture in its entirety helped me improve in this subject. I stuck with the program, and it payed off.

The talk was interesting but no clear explanation of how PKD gene causes cysts moreover no discussion over management of these patients

Dr. Shunkle provides a great explanation of the RAAS. The lecture follows nicely along with my book and studies.

Very informative, I am currently in nursing school and I don't even need to read my text book except for the section of nursing care. Carlo Raj is amazing at teaching my favorite instructor here in lecturio! thanks!

thank you for the lecture! I really like how you repeat multiple times the important key facts. Also the presentation with comparisons and simple key facts instead of too much material is really nice. The best thing, you actually made me think through the whole lecture compared to just passively listen.

Very concise & straight to the point I am glad I stumbled into this creative site.
