Nephrology bootcamp is off to the races Michael Heung suggests AEIOU as mnemonic to remember indications for dialysis. Learning lots.

Week one done #nephforward

Our first time meeting to our last hangout - from nephron to nephrologists!

In Ann Arbor, at the one and only @uofmichigan.bsky.social medical campus: academics, friends, good times 💪 @vipvargh.bsky.social

If it takes 25-30 years to lose your first half of nephrons, it won’t take another 25-30 years to lose the second half

Full circle being back at #kidneycon First came here as a medical student and now coming back as a nephrology fellow 6 years later!

The “Terli Trio” delivered in this year’s #nkfclinicals NephMadness Fellow’s Debate!

Congrats to team terlipressin for winning the #NephMadness debate at #NKFClinicals

🎉 Congrats to Julie Wright Nunes et al whose paper has been selected for the "AJKD Editors' Choice: NKF Mission Award": Patient Education for CKD and Decision Support in Primary Care: Findings From the EPIK Pilot Study bit.ly/3QFxsf1 (FREE) #NKFClinicals

For those interested in glomerular stuff, you gotta see our line-up for the Glom Dis session at KidneyCon! And they will attack the topics that make all of us scratch our heads. Register ASAP, May 1-3 #KidneyCon 2025 @isgd.bsky.social @glomcon.org @kidneycon.bsky.social kidneycon.org

“I don’t have diabetes any more!” ≠ “My renal clearance of endogenous insulin had reduced to the point where I no longer require exogenous insulin.”

Confession: I LOVE hyponatremia 🤓 (I know, I know. What can I say, I'm a true internist!) HypoNa is often feared, maligned, and misunderstood - but I promise it doesn't have to be scary! Here are my top 10 hyponatremia tips and tricks - a 🧵 #emimcc

4/n we looked into this phenomenon at Ochsner. Project led by @vipvargh.bsky.social and published as Research Letter in @ajkd.bsky.social www.ajkd.org/action/showP...

1/n consultation for multiple electrolyte and acid-base disturbances. Pt arrives with abdominal pain. Not eating for 5 days. Chemistry shows low Na, K and C02. VBG on the other hand shows a CO2 18 mEq/L higher than that of the BMP. Why the discrepancy?…

1/n One of the things that I find valuable in internal medicine in general is pattern recognition. And nephrology is not the exception. AKIs come in different flavors, we can smell the etiology based on the presentation and the way the serum Cr (sCr) rises.

18/n so maybe the drug crystals cause injury as they travel down the nephron but they don’t end up absorbed into the renal parenchyma. As an example, atazanavir crystals do (PMID 32647771) @vipvargh.bsky.social @kireports.bsky.social

"You'll be visited by three spirits." The three spirits:

1/n HydrANCAzine (hydralazine-induced ANCA-associated vasculitis has turn into an important cause of crescentic glomerulonephritis. Wonder how does hydralazine do it? Here is a tweetorial (BlueSkytorial?). I’ll start with an animation that summarizes and simplifies a proposed mechanism.

Ok Dr. Addis, we get it, medical students need to get out more @jrseltzer.bsky.social @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social
