I have a male patient with a creatinine of 432umol/L with egfr 12ml/min (CKD-Epi) but 24hr CrCl at 23 ml/min and Mag3 scan estimating 32ml/min. He's tall, about 110kg and a bit chubby. What is his function? When to place PD tube? Would cystatin help or further confuse? #askrenal

What’s something about your job that patients assumes you know how to do, but you have no idea how to do…?

For me, as a hospitalist, it’s turning off IV alarms

You get called to the haemodialysis unit.

An 18 yr old man has missed his dialysis all week & today reports weak legs. The dialysis nurse snaps this ECG as he passes out.

What do you do? Is starting dialysis during CPR ever a thing?

@PentagonPresSec Zelensky speaks to the nation. The gravity of the situation looks to have really gotten to him.

"Today I initiated a phone conversation with the president of the Russian Federation. The result was silence. Although it's the Donbas where there should be silence."

A Russian independent journalist called me for a quote after Russia launched airstrikes all over Ukraine. She started begging for forgiveness for what her country is doing and may do to mine. We talked, and cried.
