Rhodes Hambrick, MD, MS

A summer bookended by nephro/AKI/CRRT conferences! Seems fitting for a #pseudopseudohyponephrologist!

Proud of @rhodeshambrick.bsky.social for his amazing presentation on drug dosing and his award winning poster on NGAL & cefepime clearance.

What joy to see him recognized as a star! 🤩 🥹

And, shout out to not one, not two, but THREE of our faculty for being on the medical education honor roll - Drs. Jeanne Frisby-Zedan, Rhodes Hambrick, and Priya Verghese! 🤩🏆👨‍🏫👩‍🏫

@rhodeshambrick.bsky.social @luriechildrens.bsky.social

Thrilled to be hosting the wise and accomplished @rheaultm.bsky.social for a combined adult and pediatric nephrology grand rounds on Alport syndrome.

Thank you for your tremendous work and sharing your insights with us! 🫘🧬

Honored to present with @stanggirdwood.bsky.social on optimizing drug dosing on CRRT at the first annual KidneyBee 🐝 meeting today!

Inspiring to see a group of nurses and NPs all passionate about critical care nephrology 🫘

Our faculty and fellows had such a great time learning the ins and outs, ups and downs, Pre- and post- pumps, connections and flows, and even delta-Ps this week at our ECMO-CRRT workshop!

love it!!

I’m here for this niche KH humor

Needed to acknowledge publicly that today is 5/5/25, considering 5*5=25

Or if you’re in Europe…5/5/25

Loving our Lurie Neph representation at #PAS2025! Learning all about cardiorenal syndrome, updates in nephrotic syndrome, novel approaches for diabetic kidney disease, and so much more 🤩

So proud of our fellows presenting at @luriechildrens.bsky.social Research Scholar day today!

And the mobile van is a go!

Super proud of Dr. Carlos Romero for leading our team to bring pediatric nephrology expertise right to the communities where it’s needed.

The first day of clinic on the van was a success! 🚐🙌🏻🩺

Haley Britzky @halbritz AFRICOM commander Gen. Langley tells senators that China is "trying to replicate" USAID programs in Africa as the US scales back USAID. "They're trying to use that as an extension of the Belt and Road Initiative to gain favor by the African countries," Langley said.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen

It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world

It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Is that…

…the 30th anniversary AKI-CRRT water bottle?

Yes, yes it is

Our Lurie neph crew is having a great time at AKI-CRRT 2025!

Stay classy, San Diego 😎

Grateful to have such an amazing @lurienephrology.bsky.social and @luriechildrens.bsky.social PICU crew here in San Diego for AKI-CRRT 2025! Great opportunities for learning about updates in critical care nephrology 🫘💉☀️

Thank you for the well wishes and I’m so sorry about your husband’s medical troubles.

Yesterday our fabulous fellows had a well-deserved day off to beat the winter blues 🥶 — we appreciate all your hard work! 💪🏻

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

It’s so good!!!

Sarcomeres vs nephrons? No way, says the awesome CardioRenal collaboration happening at @luriechildrens.bsky.social. Thanks @kidney-kula.bsky.social for a fantastic Grand Rounds on the interplay of kidney and heart health! 🫘🤝🏻🫀 — and may we all flozinate freely!

Yeah Alex! SGLT2i for all!!!

I’m always apprehensive getting my BP checked at the doctor, being a nephrologist. Like I will somehow be morally suspect if I’m a hypertensive nephrologist.

Safe this time 🤣

Play The Mini Crossword All the fun of the larger New York Times Crossword, but you can solve it in seconds.

Starting the week on a good note :)

The way I just heard the intro music

Lmao this took me 25 minutes

Do it!

Wait I also listened to Amy Grant a Christmas Album tonight

For better or worse I think I’m adjusting to Chicago winter considering it’s 12 out and I just thought “ah doesn’t feel too bad bc it’s not windy”

This figure is AMAZING
