You know you're a pathologist if you take something no one agrees on and then try to quantify it

@kidney_boy We’ve all been doing the modules!

@tqlemd @oatsdoc Monitoring for toxicity of statins!

@PulmCrit This with a creatinine of 6 if the last one was ten years ago and the rest of the BMP is fine.

[Josh Farkas MD 💊 @PulmCrit]

Again for the people in the back: a patient who walks into the hospital with stable vitals and a subacute history and a hemoglobin of 4 g/dL isn't critically ill.

Hemoglobin of 3 g/dL? I'm even LESS worried.

The way you get a paucisymtomatic, hemodynamically stable, profound anemia is subacute/chronic blood loss with sodium retention (euvolemic anemia).

Just for fun 🤩

and Medicine is like let’s pause in the middle of 6 hrs of rounding to talk about hyponatremia for 30 min

[Anna R Gaddy @GaddyAnnaR]

@FuadZiyadeh @ClementLeeMD ^^^ I’ll stop talking about it when you get it right!!! ;)

[Anna R Gaddy @GaddyAnnaR]

@PulmCrit @kidney_boy Exactly. My hard stop is always “well, I mean, unless they’re just *lying*” but turns out that is very possible and also the motivation is very real. Not that that is unique to industry.

[Joseph (Joe) Maakaron @JMaakaron]

I consult for 4 reasons:

1. I need a procedure that I cannot do (scope, cath, etc)

2. I need someone to manage the condition (check levels and labs, adjust doses, see the patient in clinic)

3. I have a complicated situation and even though I “know” the answer, I need an expert to look over the chart and make an experienced and qualified decision

4. I need an answer that I do not know: What is the best antibiotic to treat this steno

Even in the last situation, it still needs a chart review and an H&P, prior antibiotics, imaging findings.

AI can do none of those.

my hyponatremia threshold for the ICU

[Anna R Gaddy @GaddyAnnaR]

My formerly sorta-wild-child sister now works in the Trauma ICU and the transformation is hilarious.

[Anna R Gaddy @GaddyAnnaR]

@edgarvlermamd @jaykoyner @kidney_boy But do they achieve those goals??? You’ll have to read the chapter ☺️ #AKIinICU

don’t make fun of neurologists until you walk a myelin their shoes

Nothing makes me happier than hyponatremia. #NephTwitter @BookBurton

[Joel M. Topf, MD FACP @kidney_boy]

Part two of our three part arc on chapter 23 Hypoosmolar States – Hyponatremia is out

This is a good episode (They’re all good episodes, Brant)

Link: https://t.co/yp6aUx6Xst

Each chapter is fully referenced and every episode has chapters

[Anna R Gaddy @GaddyAnnaR]

Had the absolute honor to meet @AmakaEMD in real life and hear her talk about her work and lessons learned. I also got to catch up with former American Society of Nephrology STARS alum @DrJangamK at the Kidney Care Center retreat. Nephrology is amazing

Have you ever noticed that when you're driving on a highway, everyone faster than you is a maniac and everyone slower is an idiot?!

I heard this probably in some stand-up comedy show but don't remember who said it.

It applies to pretty much everything.
- Early adopter vs later adopter
- Too much communication vs too little communication
- Very aggressive vs very conservative

For the first time, @GlassockJ describes the rationale and clinical use of the UpToDate stratification of IgA nephropathy, The Rule of Three. @fervenzaf @core_kidney
