Nephrology
AKT High-Yield Breakdown
Nephrology in the AKT tests your ability to classify and manage CKD, recognise AKI, interpret electrolyte disturbances, and apply the NICE guidelines for renal referral. You need to know eGFR thresholds, ACR targets, when to refer, and how common drugs interact with renal function. This is a practical, numbers-heavy topic.
What You'll Learn
Master CKD staging and referral criteria (NICE NG203), AKI recognition and management, electrolyte disturbances (hyperkalaemia, hyponatraemia), nephrotic vs nephritic syndrome, and drug dosing in renal impairment.
Practise Nephrology MCQs
From CKD staging and eGFR monitoring to AKI causes and STOP medications, proteinuria investigation pathways, hyponatraemia and hyperkalaemia management, and dialysis indications — tackle focused MCQs across the full Nephrology curriculum.
