Its generic name "budesonide" does not distinguish targeted release formulation (TRF) of budesonide from other formulations (nasal spays, inhalers, etc.) so the name "Nefecon" was used to refer to it in the @kdigo.org guidelines for IgA Nephropathy #IgAN

Although often used interchangeably, dehydration & volume depletion are not the same

📌 Dehydration refers to “loss of total body water” (leads to hypertonicity)

📌 Volume depletion refers to an ECFV deficit
