If a patient is overloaded and their potassium is not an issue, do you usually do a isolated UF in the beginning or at the end of the dialysis session? Why? #AskRenal

IgnNobel prizes are coming!! I'm so excited for this year's winners, maybe a Nephrology award soon? Also, I've just found out we can get tickets to meet de winners face-to-face, even in Europe! I might be fangirling too much but I love this idea

And since we are in Austria, Jennifer Lees showed us the big four of Vienna, only in #ERA25, always being #BeyondNephrology:

¡Ha llegado el día! Soy nefróloga 😊 he recibido el mejor regalo, y ¡el mejor título de todos! The day has come! I'm officially a nephrologist after completing my residency! Just got the best diploma in the world

Honestly blown away by this concept. I really love the idea of including our patients even in scientific meetings. Open communication is key for a good patient-doctor relationship #VAS2025

You gotta love the clinical cases at #VAS2025. This time, Monnie Wasser showed us the importance of communication with you dialysis team, and why BMS are still no quite welcome in our HD patients...

Fangirling over Dr Lok again #VAS2025

On a side note, I'm really glad for the opportunity I had, alongside a fellow @vasyoungcom.bsky.social member, for moderating a session at #VAS2025 with Loreto Gesualdo, the origin of N-PATH

We're here again! #VAS2025

Fangirling time has arrived at #VAS2025 with the first keynote of the day, by no other than Charmaine Lok 👀

As a summary, high flux AVF (>1.5L/min): -⬇️carotid, renal, gut, capillaries and aortic flows -⬆️coronary, cardiac output and pulmonary artery pressure. As a result, a high-flux AVF can be dangerous in moderate-severe heart failure patients

Dialysis access and the cardiovascular system, by Jan Malik 👀👉🏻 #VAS2025

John Lucas III shows us the different approaches to correction of the flow of fistulas according to its severity and presence of symptoms, specifically, distal ischemia #VAS2025

"Vascular access is the orphan child of hemodialysis" That's it. #VAS2025

Prabir Roy-Chaudhury shakes the room with proper and difficult questions about our practice: should we change our mindset towards VA? Are we enough people worrying about or patients on this aspect? #VAS2025

The @vasyoungcom is present at the #VAS2025! See you all at the sessions coming this very day

The #VAS2025 has just started, and I can't wait for all the talks and workshops programmed for the congress!

Article of the month📣 Interesting retrospective cohort study from Japan🤔! Showing that femoro-femoral arteriovenous fistulas can be a viable and durable option when traditional access points are no longer feasible! jvascsurg.org/article/S0741-…

🎉 20 Years of #WorldKidneyDay! 🎉 Since its launch, World Kidney Day has raised global awareness of kidney health.

¡Feliz #DiaMundialDelRiñon a todos! Algunos de guardia para honrar al día... #WorldKidneyDay

Estoy disfrutando muchísimo. Resulta que, por el #DiaMundialDelRiñon, podemos votar por nuestra canción favorita y cantarla juntos la semana que viene. Si esto no nos define como la especialidad más random y friki que hay, yo ya no sé bajemoslaalbuminuria.com

Esto repercute también en las niñas, que sufren una falta de referentes en los que fijarse para desarrollar una carrera en el ámbito científico. Según datos de la UNESCO, en 2021 el 31,7 % de los investigadores a nivel mundial eran mujeres. unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/p...

Rosalind Franklin Fue la primera en descubrir la estructura de doble hélice del ADN, pero todo el mérito se lo llevaron sus compañeros y jefes de laboratorio. Hoy en día todavía a día se sigue enseñando “el modelo de Watson y Crick”.

La contribución de las mujeres en la investigación ha sido suprimida sistemáticamente a lo largo de la historia en favor de sus compañeros hombres. Esto es lo que se conoce como el "efecto Matilda".🧵🧪 #WomanInScienceDay #Science #Ciencia

Acaban de publicar en la prestigiosa revista Nature un estudio increíble: han descubierto que la marea humana del Chupinazo de los San Fermines se mueve ¡como un fluido! 🧵

Currently reading my new favourite article, and all because of its start: "The proximal tubule (PT) is owed an apology". Can we bring back these funny-looking explanations? DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2020.12.031

Yo ya he votado, ¿y vosotros?

Very appropriate to talk about Snow White and the kidney now that we are heading into winter ❄️❄️❄️ Interesting paper on skin whitening creams and the kidney in CKJ @nephroseeker.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ckj/advance-...

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped! What's it say? It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay! Was it just a small study? No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

🍠 Sustitutos veganos Por normal general, no debemos fiarnos de productos que ya vengan procesados. Lo que compramos en el súper generalmente lleva muchos ingredientes que no se recomiendan. Vegano no es sinónimo de saludable, y algunos alimentos pueden ser tan malos como las carnes procesadas.

New metanalysis on a not-so-known cardiovascular factor... Migraines with (or without) aura are associated with an increased risk of stroke. 🧐Further validation is still required, but am I writing this with a migraine myself? ... Also yes 😊 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

To celebrate the growing #medsky / #nephsky community, I will post one silly med/kidney cartoon every day for one month! d4: prerenal AKI

#NephSky #AskRenal Do you guys make an EKG everytime one of your patients suffers intraHD hypotension?

Una herramienta de Bluesky contra la toxicidad: si alguien cita vuestro post para exponeros al acoso como se hacía en Twitter, podéis hacer que vuestro post desaparezca del suyo clicando en el menú de los tres puntos. 👇🏻

Feels like a good morning to tell Bluesky the story about when I overdosed on my underwear, so let’s do this! 🧵

PSA: If you're a new Bluesky user - your default feed is "Discover." It tries to guess what you like, but since it doesn't know you well yet - it can display what seems like random nonsense. You can remove it, and add any other feed to your liking from the "Feeds" options in the menu on the left.

I wanted to take some time and remind everyone to #MakeNephrologySexyAgain here in the butterfly app too

I love how much of #ScienceSky (is that a thing yet?) is currently folks sharing increasingly specific scientist starter packs if there’s one thing scientists love it’s collecting and categorizing things with esoteric labels ❤️

It's gonna take me a while until I follow everyone back from the dead bird, so please hang on tight!
