Year 2 - Renal

Resource 1: Sketchy Pharm

For the Pharmacodynamics lectures, go to the "Pharmacology Foundations" unit and watch "Pharmacodynamics Basics" and "Drug-Drug Interactions" subunit videos.

For the Pharmacokinetics lectures, go to the "Pharmacology Foundations" unit and watch "Pharmacokinetics Basics," "Absorption," "Distribution," "Metabolism," and "Elimination" subunit videos.

For the Cholinergic lectures, go to the "Autonomic Drugs" unit and watch "Cholinomimetics," "Muscarinic Antagonists", and "Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors" videos.

For the Adrenergic agonists lectures, go to the "Autonomic Drugs" unit and watch "Sympathomimetics." "Indirect Sympathomimetics" covers a bit more than is needed, but you can watch it as well.

For the Adrenergic antagonists lectures, go to the "Autonomic Drugs" unit and watch "Alpha Drugs" and "Beta Blockers" videos.

Resource 1: Pathoma

Read/watch all of Chapter 12 to cover most of what is taught in the pathology lectures (Brozna and Tsivis) for the 2nd exam. Make sure to cross-reference with the lectures themselves to ensure you're not missing any extraneous low-yield stuff that will still be tested on in-house lectures, but is most definitely not important for boards (hurray).

Resource 2: Sketchy Pharm

For the Diuretics lecture, go to the "Cardiovascular and Renal" unit and watch all the "Diuretics" subunit videos.

For the Antihypertensives lecture, go to the "Cardiovascular and Renal" unit and under the "Heart Failure Drugs" subunit, watch "ACE Inhibitors, ARBs, Aliskiren." Under the "Antihypertensives" subunit, watch "Primary Hypertension & Hypertensive Emergency" and "Calcium Channel Blockers" videos. The Sympathoplegics drugs should be review from the last exam.

Resource 3: First Aid 2022

For the anatomy, check out pg. 604-605 for HY stuff.

For the physiology, check out pg. 605-617 for HY charts, figures, and concepts.

This is where it gets tricky. Usually the last exam of each block will have "Clinical" lectures taught by docs that will apply the pathophysiology you learned from the previous exams into clinical practice. Since I still wanted to avoid in-house lectures as much as possible, I had to rely more heavily on any CISes. However, sometimes that would be unavoidable, especially with peds lectures, so I ended up watching those; however, just follow the learning objectives and you'll do well for those questions on the exam.

I think I ended up having to watch/review most of the in-house lectures since it deviated too much from the other resources, but you can reference pg. 615-617 for Electrolyte Disturbances and Acid-Base physiology for the respective lectures, as well as pg. 623 for a nice table on kidney stones. Pg. 626-627 goes over AKI and relevant pathology as well.

Review Ch 12 as needed and reference the in-house lectures as you would normally.

Ch 7.2 on Hypertension might also be useful for the "Hypertension" lecture.

Should be mostly review from exam 2, but if you want a refresher watch: "Primary Hypertension & Hypertensive Emergency", "ACE Inhibitors, ARBs, Aliskiren", "Calcium Channel Blockers". Definitely know what drugs are okay for HTN in pregnancy and what are contraindicated.
