Pseudoaneurysm of dialysis fistula with impending rupture #POCUS

Awesome #nephmadness write up about resistant #hypertension renal denervation vs. novel drugs @stephanietr612.bsky.social @jordybc.bsky.social and visual abstracts @nephroseeker.medsky.social …And troubling AI-generated kidney art with tablet-shaped electroshockers [email protected]

Medtronic pulling out of the endovascular fistula creation market. Wow. This is from the American Society of Diagnostic and Interventional Nephrology. And can't find this information on the medtronic website or with google. That may be a me problem though.

🧪Incredible story of the triumph of science and humanity. Neil Willenson founded the camp in the early 90s at the age of 22‼️ #MedSky I'm not sure anyone in the late 80s or early 90s imagined a day like this would come.

This is interesting. Given you can see extensive replacement of the kidneys in ADPKD with a relatively normal Cr, find it hard to believe that a few medullary cysts are causative of progressive CKD risk but maybe they are a marker of various know/unknown genetic predisposition to progression?

I have heard of uremic seizure but never saw it until recently. There’s always a first.

I'm just shocked that the recommended access for dialysis fails in over a third of patients. It's criminal #nephjc

💊 Hydralazine (Hz) was first introduced to the market in 1951. The first case of Hz autoimmunity was in 1953, and the first series of Hz induced ANCA vasculitis overlapping with lupus was in 1984! But, who is really at high risk and what are the outcomes? #nephsky #nephtwitter

So glad Bluesky is cracking down on impersonators and parody accounts. NOTE: Since no one can prove God is real, I am therefore not an impersonation or a parody. Hi, I’m God.
