PassMachine Nephrology Board Review 2024 (v3.1) — 30 focused lectures plus a topic-sorted question bank
The PassMachine Nephrology Board Review 2024 (v3.1) Videos +Qbank pairs an interactive video course with an exam-builder question bank delivered as PDF. Ten faculty, among them Andrew Bomback, Stuart Sprague and Dena Rifkin, teach 30 short lectures that total just under 25 hours, grouped by board domain from dysnatraemias to post-transplant care. Version 3.1 of the course was released on 13 October 2024; the question bank dates from January 2024.
- 30lectures
- 24.75 hteaching time
- 10faculty
- 10Qbank topic areas
What you’ll be able to do
- Work up hyponatraemia, hypernatraemia and oedema with a repeatable approach
- Decode acid-base compensation, anion gap acidosis and chloride-resistant alkalosis
- Manage calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and kidney stones as the boards expect
- Separate nephrotic from nephritic presentations and name the hereditary mimics
- Tailor peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis to the individual ESKD patient
- Answer pre- and post-transplant vignettes with confidence
Inside the prep
Electrolytes and acid-base
Timothy Yau handles sodium and volume in four compact talks, then William Whittier spends roughly three hours on acid-base physiology, hyperkalaemia and both saline-responsive and non-responsive alkalosis.
Minerals, drugs and the acutely ill kidney
Stuart Sprague covers divalent ions and stones, Henry Swoboda takes pharmacology and toxicology, and Randy Luciano gives two AKI sessions followed by ICU nephrology.
Glomerular, cystic and hypertensive disease
Andrew Bomback delivers four lectures on nephrotic syndrome and glomerulonephritis, Eugene Kovalik covers hereditary disease and hypertension, and Dena Rifkin adds cystic and tubulointerstitial disorders.
PassMachine Nephrology Board Review: CKD, dialysis and transplant
GFR and proteinuria staging, diabetic and hypertensive CKD, dialysis complications and a two-part transplant block by Patrick Cunningham close the video course, while the Qbank drills the same ten topic areas.

Before you buy
Is the question bank interactive?
No. The videos play in interactive mode, but the question bank is supplied as a PDF, so there is no timed test engine or automatic scoring.
Can I buy only the questions?
Yes, the product has variants, and the question bank on its own is offered as a cheaper option; choose the variant you want at checkout.
How many questions are included?
No question count has been published; the bank is organised into ten topic areas that mirror the lecture blocks.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
