More #efruxifermin data this time in #MASH F2/F3 fibrosis @ 96 weeks
✅ Efficacy w/ dose dependent response (sort of) and NITs consistent

my take on procal:
1. zero role in ED, shouldn't be used to start ABX
2. CAN be super helpful in first 24 hr after ICU admit to help disprove sepsis in complex cases (eg aspiration pneumonitis or atelectasis masquerading as PNA). helps stop ABX & redirect.
3. not helpful in limiting ABX duration

🚨 High Yield Infographic Alert!
Elevated PTT? Think bleeding history.
🟢 Non-bleeders: APS, contact factor deficiencies, heparin.
🔴 Bleeders: Hemophilias, vWD, factor VIII inhibitors.
Not all prolonged PTTs mean bleeding risk.

No one, and I mean no one, made more seminal contributions to the measurement, interpretation & clinical applications of HVPG, the prognostic impact of CSPH and its rx.
Truly in the pantheon of all time greatest hepatologists and a kind, generous person on top.
RIP

There was great enthusiasm for “palliative care” when it was associated with longer survival in lung cancer
However many of trials launched in its wake wrongly assumed that the consult itself was the active ingredient. For PC to help, the consultant needs proven tools to address the symptoms

Dear FreelyFiltered
I am a listener of the podcast. I listen for the humans. And their input. I think the AI podcast on the NephJC was a nice as a way for me to hear about a trial and trial discussion I would have missed but the info didnt stick for this adult learner

Key points
1. Think about who is at risk for hepatic encephalopathy.
2. Don't anchor on a specific number. Make decisions with the impact on the patient in mind
3. Re-evaluate treatment strategies using patient reported outcomes like quality of life and falls
14.06.2025 16:19 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0
Here's how I put it together
And if you treat based on poor quality of life you can go back and ask "do you feel better" "are you falling less" and that helps a lot!
