@nickmmark As a Nephrologist, I've seen many sudden cardiac arrests when using Sux for CKD patients, probably related to HyperK. I tell my anaesthetist not to use Sux. Some listen, some don't.
Grateful for the opportunity to discuss POCUS cases at #KidneyWk#Nephrology is often framed as a ‘lab-based’ specialty, but #POCUS brings us right back to the bedside, improving diagnostic confidence and reducing the guesswork.
Therapies are important (and I’m excited for the new ones), but the commonest daily dilemma is hemodynamics. And who is better positioned to own that than nephrologists?
Maybe next #KidneyWk we’ll see #POCUS in prime sessions, not just tucked away at the end. 🙂 @ASNKidney@samirparikhmd
🌍 Together, we made history for kidney health!
For the first time ever, kidney care is officially on the global health agenda. The World Health Assembly has adopted a landmark resolution that recognizes kidney health as a key priority in the fight against #NCDs.
👏 Thank you to Guatemala for submitting the resolution and to the entire global kidney community for your tireless advocacy and support. This is a pivotal moment—let’s keep pushing for progress!

@TyrantOppressor Alhough I don't understand Hindi, the boy who made obscene gestures is even wearing a BJP logo in his shirt. This reflects the divisive and supremacist mindset that can stem from the upbringing provided by parents who support such ideologies. Truly disheartening
@ursAarohi 1. Jacques Kallis - 'the definition' of an all-rounder
2. Kapil Dev - best ever Test cricket all rounder and a great captain
3. Imran Khan - epitome of leadership
4. Shane Watson - modern-day pinch hitting T20 all rounder
@drsthanus Sir, this is the image of a South Indian patient with hand-foot syndrome (diagnosed at Royapettah GH) after the 2nd cycle of FOLFOX for Colorectal Carcinoma sir.
The maestro of spin bowling from Chennai, renowned for playing 'chess' on the cricket field retires. Perhaps, had you been entrusted with the captaincy, your journey might've extended?! A premature retirement is truly a crime by an artist
