After a fun and productive #KidneyWk, I’m right back in ✈️ mode again, this time heading to Santiago to share and learn more within the #UrinarySediment #UrineMicroscopy South American Lab/Pathol/Nephrol community 🇵🇪🇨🇱

I met a clever renal fellow at #KidneyWk who named his pets Ace and Arb. I’m inspired. I’ll name my next puppies Muddy and Waxy #UrinarySediment

Another active day for Ochsner Nephrology at #KidneyWk sharing original research work

Another ovation, for Reshma Kewalramani’s talk. #KidneyWk

After empa-kidney, it still wasn’t clear what to do for patients with CKD without diabetes or albuminuria. This meta-analysis suggests you use flozins. #kidneywk jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Mandatory #KidneyWk gathering with my fellow Channeleers from Channel Your Enthusiasm podcast 🎙️ www.rosebook.club @kidneyboy.bsky.social @amyaimei.bsky.social @annagaddy.bsky.social @jwaitz.bsky.social

#KidneyWk started with a nice dinner with my friend and LatinoAmerican Nephrology SoMe Icon 🇲🇽 Jonathan Chavez. And we had to do it with a proper high protein osmolar load 🥩 #NephBBQ

When a mentee Ochsner UQ Med Student Saleha Minhas is visited at a poster by 3 sodium rockstars (Sterns, Rodby and @kidneyboy.bsky.social) at #KidneyWk, that’s a highlight 🙌 @annagaddy.bsky.social

Had the pleasure of meeting The Vancomycin Cast guy, @yosuluque.bsky.social at #KidneyWk and chat about #PrecipitousAKI, organic transporters, #UrinarySediment and more

When you get talk renal physiology for 5 min with icon Chris Wilcox at #KidneyWk, it’s a highlight 🙌

day 2 at #KidneyWk is winding down, another strong, productive and fun day for our Ochsner Nephrology crew. And we are coming back tomorrow for more 💪 #NephSky

Day 1, #kidneywk 25, We attended the poster presentation, which focused on an important topic: Reducing gaps and strengthening training in urinary sediment analysis. We were joined by someone passionate about U-sed. @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social , @roxnonna23.bsky.social .

The wait is almost over. #KidneyWk begins Wednesday, November 5, with seven Early Programs, then continues November 6–9 with the Annual Meeting in Houston, 12,000+ kidney health professionals. 130 sessions. 600 faculty. 3,600 posters. Four dynamic plenaries. The future of kidney care begins here.

This is great! Renal biopsy by the nephrologists!

C’mon - hydration really? @nytgames.bsky.social You know what pure hydration during running gives you? Hyponatremia #NephSky

Renal tubular epithelial cell cast (Sternheimer-Malbin stain) under 1000x bright field. Pt with nephrotic range proteinuria, suspected GN. Note small lipid droplets on most inferior cell in the cast.

Not hugely practice-changing, as many folks are already using bicarb to reduce dialysis risk based on BICAR-ICU-1 Lack of mortality impact is unsurprising given how difficult it is to prove in ICU (discussed: emcrit.org/pulmcrit/mor...) Reduced dialysis & bacteremia are important pt-centered wins

Thanks @amyaimei.bsky.social for giving an excuse to share some #UrinarySediment pics. See below for context 👇🏼

It’s 2025 and we’re still dosing drugs like it’s 1976. The saga of Cockcroft–Gault, FDA inertia, and the slow evolution of renal dosing equations. 🧮 pbfluids.com/2025/10/cock...

Nice pictures! And true! PHACO 🫶

Going thru #KidneyWk abstracts, When r we going 2 stop accepting MALA case reports? Just because someone sees it for the 1st time, it’s not worth an abstract (reviewers have responsibility too), UNLESS there is something clearly unique about the case. Unfortunately, it’s almost never the case.

First report of daratumumab therapy in refractory THSD7A-positive membranous nephropathy.

🔬for the diagnosis of glowmrulonephritis, searching for urinary acanthocytes only using bright field illumination is clearly suboptimal compared to utilizing dark field illumination or phase contrast microscopy. #UrinarySediment #UrineMicroscopy karger.com/gdz/article/...

Clinic visit, pt w/type 2 diabetes + nephrotic range proteinuria. Persistent hematuria noted (normal cysto 3 mo ago) not c/w diabetic nephropathy. #UrinarySediment 🔬is performed: numerous acanthocytes and a few WBC casts. Serum IgA elevated. Normal C3/C4. Other tests pending. Kidney biopsy planned

We found: Hematuria - Red circle: Acanthocytes (4%) - Yellow circle: isomorphic (70%)

Amazing episode, thanks @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social @coreimpodcast.bsky.social and crew! Something I've always struggled with below. Appreciate any insights!
