Great info this past week at #KidneyWk bringing awareness to AKI and highlighting that more work needs to be done around serum creatinine #BioPortoMedSci@BioPortoDx
SCr remains the primary clinical biomarker for monitoring of kidney function. It plays a critical role in the detection of AKI & dose adjustments for renally cleared meds, esp Abx; however, SC is neither sensitive nor specific for the early detection of acute decreases in GFR.
Dr. Allegretti named PI and @ProPharma selected as CRO for the first of two studies in our upcoming Adult AKI Clinical Study. The first study will enroll US patients with the goal of determining a cut-off point for severe #AKI risk stratification in adults. #ICU#clinicaltrials
Attending #KidneyWk? There are so many great sessions, but this is one of our favorites.👇Will we see you there?

‼️Did you know that susceptibilities for many PO cephalosporins are inferred from cefazolin, not ceftriaxone? May overcall resistance but safest option if unable to test directly.
Removed cefdinir from our adult formulary and switched to cefuroxime. Here’s why! #downwithcefdinir
🔆TMP/SMX was universally susceptible against clinical isolates of β-hemolytic Streptococcus using the gold standard BMD
🔆TMP/SMX is a potential monotherapy agent for the treatment of β-hemolytic Streptococcus SSTIs while clinda & esp doxy may be less reliable empiric options
