How much bicarbonate is in a tablet of sodium bicarbonate This came up on rounds today. I thought I covered this on the blog before but if I did, Google failed me. The answer is 7.7 mEq of Na and 7.7 mEq of HCO3 in every 650 mg tablet of baking soda. This is just 650 mg divided by the molecular…

Only about 300 to 400 people a year give a kidney to someone they never met. It's an act of generosity so unusual, a neuroscientist studies the people who do this.

You can’t judge people only by how they treat you. The true test of character is how they treat those they don't like or need. Even if someone is kind to you, proceed with caution if they’re consistently unkind to others. Selective civility is a sign of deep-seated hostility.

Nice write-up of practise changing study by @osduvar.bsky.social for #nephjc Meta-analysis of big name RCTs (AASK, IDNT, RENAAL etc) shows initiating RASi slows CKD progression even when already at stage 4 by more than I’d have guessed - just can’t believe no one had done this analysis before!

📟 Consulted a few times last week for, “Is this an RTA?” and my knee-jerk answer is “No”. 📖 The truth is that RTAs are rare though we talk about them a lot in med school. So here are some causes of a non-gap acidosis that are more common than an RTA. A 🧵 #nephsky #emimcc #icusky
