This is what I'm talking about regarding the anti-iron bias among the ESA pushers writing the guidelines.
Most of my patients are older, but this makes me think of my young female patient with kids at home. She misses dialysis often when she can’t find who to care for her children at home.
Thank you to all #TSA agents working through this shutdown.
#KidneyWk 2025 Houston, here we go 🛫
Andor Season 2 came out. It had been so long, I was trying to decide if I should rewatch season 1 or play a recap. Season 1 hits even harder the second time. 🔥🔥🔥
Finished #DemonCopperhead. This one was a hard one to read. It made me feel a turmoil of emotions, both high and low. Beautifully told, this book is heavy, but real. Must read.
Finished #ProjectHailMary on audiobook (for some reason the superior way to experience it, according to a Reddit thread). Made my drives to and from work so so happy. Absolutely recommend. Amaze!!
Part of my new job involves driving a lot. Picked up #NephJC’s @jordybc.bsky.social’s tubular secretion and started listening to #ProjectHailMary by Andy Weir on audiobook. Just finished Chapter 12 and I’m loving this BOOK!!
Happy to announce I passed my ABIM Nephrology exam. Officially a board certified nephrologist!
For a smile that will make others smile!
Intravenous Acyclovir
VA of the ADAPT trial
That’s ok - that’s why we write the summary?
Oh you didn’t read that either!
Ok - have a glance at the VA 😅

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!

Stop calling it heart failure the heart is trying really hard and you're not helping it by hurting its feelings!!!!!
#HarryPotter Wizards of Baking on #HBOMax? Yes, please 😄
Friday after the nephrology ABIM exam. ☕️ 😊 (ahh)
I haven’t tried it yet but NephJC links a website on how to download the twitter archive (second paragraph on the page). www.nephjc.com/regarding-tw...
Good luck to those taking the ABIM Nephrology Board Exam today. Here we go!
Just came across in KSAP: “described in 1939 by Irving Page, who found that wrapping dog kidneys in cellophane induced acute hypertension.” 🫠
Day before the boards: practicing not only to calculate the free water deficit but also, not to forget adding the electrolyte free water losses! #nephsky #nephboards
What a cool case!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Am I seeing huge pelviectasis? 👀
