Wondering why vasoconstrictors work in hepatorenal syndrome even though the pathogenesis is driven by renal vasoconstriction? Here is a conceptual explanation:

@isnkidneycare.bsky.social Well well, ISN is here along with @kireports.bsky.social I hope other societies and journals also follow @bsky.app

Exactly the stuff we discussed today on rounds with the resident and student. One thing that I was taught was cortico-medullary differentiation (CMD)/cortical echogenicity and actual cortical thickness of < 7 mm. Not sure how many rely on that

I have started using HIF-PHI 👉 Desidustat in my kidney #transplant pts with anemia. This was the first pt I used it in - a pt with parvovirus b19 related anemia that did not respond to reduction of immunosuppression or IVIG. Presented that as a poster in #KidneyWk

Classic case of kidney biopsy in a patient with Fabry disease. Foamy podocyte and tubular cytoplasm. Myelin inclusions in lysosomes by EM (no gloms for EM; but tubules still useful). #renalpath #nephrology #pathsky

Very simplistic explanation and it's MUCH more complicated than this, but a nice way to think about creatinine dilution with decompensated heart failure and convince people that a creatinine rise with decongestion is not actual kidney injury #nephsky #cardsksy

I encourage #nephsky folks to read the ASN Kidney Health Guidance on Obesity in CKD. ASN encourages nephs to understand tools available to help adults with obesity and CKD safely lose weight - hope its helpful journals.lww.com/jasn/fulltex... accompanying podcast www.asn-online.org/media/podcas...
