Our @cornellvet.bsky.social extracorporeal blood purification team has been busy! 4 dogs ate lethal doses of anti-inflammatory drugs, carprofen & naproxen. Hemoperfusion prevented major organ damage/prolonged illness. Thanks #dialysis4pets team members working overtime!

Absolutely! The Libre has become a very useful way for pet owners to monitor glucose levels at home for better fine tuning of insulin dosing without the added stress of bringing a pet to the veterinarian. The stress of a trip to the vet or other methods of at home monitoring affect QOL for all

Inaugural ACVNU Resident Bowl with @kidneyvet.bsky.social at Renal Week #vetneph #vetsky

Dr. Shelly Vaden shares the hidden sources of phosphate in medications. And tools to manage it. #vetneph

What an honor to have Dr Melanie Hoenig @melhoenig.bsky.social share her expertise of SGLT2 inhibitors with veterinary nephrologists at #ACVNURenalWeek. She went above and beyond to research and adapt the veterinary literature to create graphic abstracts.

We met Kaz 7/1/2024, kidneys failing from antifreeze toxicity. 3 mo of dialysis (5hr drive q3 days), Kaz's strong spirit to live & dad’s dedication despite long odds, made today possible. Kaz celebrated his 4th birthday & lives each day to the fullest

Verification of kidney biopsy adequacy by visualization of glomeruli (bright solid red circles) in the biopsy core. #KidneyBiopsyAcademy

I’m a veterinary critical care specialist with an emphasis in nephrology/extracorporeal therapies and I get so much joy and learning from the Curious Clinicians!! Thanks for what you guys do!

This goofy lab “Oz” came to #dialysis4pets at #CornellVet with severe immune mediated destruction of red blood cells. Therapeutic plasma exchange performed over 3 treatments purified his body of the offending auto-antibodies to get him home with his loving family. Reach out to learn more #VetNeph

He was so lucky. Never hyperkalemic and always made good urine. We pulled his catheter when his creat plateaued in the 4s.

Kaz’s kidneys graduated!! He sustained an AKI from ethylene glycol. 32 PIRRT tx (106 days). His brilliant kidneys laughed at 10% odds of recovery

Reach out for info about ECTs like dialysis&plasma exchange for your cat/dog/horse/other
