For patients on dialysis who develop a DVT or PE, are you using apixaban? Are you employing a loading dose (10 mg bid) and standard dose (5 mg bid) or a reduced dose 2.5 mg bid?

Patient with acute kidney injury following vancomycin treatment for pyelonephritis. Numerous unusual casts (no LC restriction, myo/hemoglobin and chromo negative). EM shows mixture of uromodulin protein and precipitate. C/W vancomycin cast nephropathy. #renalpath #pathsky #nephsky

I’m presenting on Anticoagulation in CKD. We need to do better studying the PK of high risk drugs in vulnerable dialysis dependent patients. PK studies of <10 patients are not enough for our source of drug exposure data. Hope you can attend. ucsd.cloud-cme.com/course/cours...

As promised, @asnpublications.bsky.social is on the platform. Four publications, one account. Please follow for the best in scientific publishing in nephrology!

Proud mama alert. My son conducted his first concert at UC Riverside tonight and he’s a material science engineering major. So fun!

Here is a second bleetorial about a paper we recently preprinted. Here @shipei-xing.bsky.social wanted to find a solution to be able to re-use data in the public domain with MS1 data only - LC-MS and imaging mass spectrometry data. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Ok a third bleetorial or skeetorial of another preprint. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... in this case Nina, our exposome expert, Kine, our expert pharmacist, Corinna, the MS/MS guru, wanted to identify medication exposures from untargeted metabolomics data. Why? - aren’t there good medical records?

@nkf-professionals.bsky.social workgroup published guidance on the use of eGFR for drug dosing. @fda.gov it’s time to think about creatinine-cystatin C for eGFR and drug dosing. academic.oup.com/ajhp/advance...

Morning peeps! Cheers!
