CKD, Glomerular Disease, Dialysis and Transplant
Use eGFR, albuminuria, urine pattern and immune status to manage chronic, glomerular and replacement-therapy disease.
How to prepare for MRCP(UK) Part 2 Written
Use the official likely question distribution to protect breadth, then practise extracting decisive clinical and visual evidence before selecting one best answer.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Chronicity, eGFR and albuminuria trend, active sediment, systemic disease, dialysis modality and transplant timing.
Exam cue: Rapid renal decline, pulmonary-renal syndrome, dialysis access infection, rejection or severe treatment complication.
Concept 2
Reduce progression and cardiovascular risk, manage complications and coordinate dialysis or transplant-specific care.
Exam cue: Select serology, biopsy, imaging and replacement-therapy investigations according to syndrome and urgency.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Diagnosing CKD from one result or delaying assessment of active glomerular disease.
Guardrail: Do not interpret a visual pattern without the modality, clinical context and the exact task in the stem.
Selecting an option that is true in isolation but does not best answer the exact clinical task.
Guardrail: Do not interpret a visual pattern without the modality, clinical context and the exact task in the stem.
Memory anchors

Select serology, biopsy, imaging and replacement-therapy investigations according to syndrome and urgency.
What guides management in ckd, glomerular disease, dialysis and transplant?
Reduce progression and cardiovascular risk, manage complications and coordinate dialysis or transplant-specific care.
What common error should be avoided in ckd, glomerular disease, dialysis and transplant?
Diagnosing CKD from one result or delaying assessment of active glomerular disease.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
