Finished #DemonCopperhead. This one was a hard one to read. It made me feel a turmoil of emotions, both high and low. Beautifully told, this book is heavy, but real. Must read.

Finished #ProjectHailMary on audiobook (for some reason the superior way to experience it, according to a Reddit thread). Made my drives to and from work so so happy. Absolutely recommend. Amaze!!

Part of my new job involves driving a lot. Picked up #NephJC’s @jordybc.bsky.social’s tubular secretion and started listening to #ProjectHailMary by Andy Weir on audiobook. Just finished Chapter 12 and I’m loving this BOOK!!

Happy to announce I passed my ABIM Nephrology exam. Officially a board certified nephrologist!

For a smile that will make others smile!

Intravenous Acyclovir

VA of the ADAPT trial

That’s ok - that’s why we write the summary?

Oh you didn’t read that either!

Ok - have a glance at the VA 😅

Correction Rates and Clinical Outcomes in Hospitalized Adults With Severe Hyponatremia This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the association of sodium correction rates with mortality among hospitalized adults with severe hyponatremia.

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped!

What's it say?

It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay!

Was it just a small study?

No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients!

Stop calling it heart failure the heart is trying really hard and you're not helping it by hurting its feelings!!!!!

Regarding Twitter... — NephJC

I haven’t tried it yet but NephJC links a website on how to download the twitter archive (second paragraph on the page). www.nephjc.com/regarding-tw...

Good luck to those taking the ABIM Nephrology Board Exam today. Here we go!

Just came across in KSAP: “described in 1939 by Irving Page, who found that wrapping dog kidneys in cellophane induced acute hypertension.” 🫠

Day before the boards: practicing not only to calculate the free water deficit but also, not to forget adding the electrolyte free water losses! #nephsky #nephboards

What a cool case!! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

Am I seeing huge pelviectasis? 👀
