I read that - incredible true story!! Amazing work by Dr Juurlink to get the truth

Thank you #nephjc for presenting LIBERATE-D! Great discussion! Huge shoutout to our fearless leaders Drs Hsu and Liu at @ucsfnephrology.bsky.social

ASN Kidney Health Guidance on the Outpatient Management of Patients with Dialysis-Requiring Acute Kidney Injury - PubMed This article contains a podcast at https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/www.asn-online.org/media/podcast/JASN/2025_03_11_KTS_March2025.mp3

I’ll do a pitch for the ASN AKI-D guidance document here #nephjc

Most AKI and ICU studies have used 90 day outcomes. ATN study used 60 day mortality. #nephjc

Can you do polls in Bluesky? #nephjc

This brings us back to acute dialysis staffing issues that @hswapnil.medsky.social
alluded to earlier #nephjc

#dialytrauma is real #nephjc

Based on this study how many nephrologists will agree for pts to participate in a larger study to look at 90 day mortality? #nephjc
Is there equipoise?

Dialysis inertia as @dramiliflores.bsky.social said before #nephjc

Very true, especially on the floor where urine output it’s not charted accurately. Very easy to write the dialysis orders and move onto the next patient. #nephjc

Yes very important to note this was primarily a non-ICU study. Being on the ventilator or having high O2 requirements was an exclusion #nephjc

Needles not an issue - all AKI so all had catheters. But your other points are valid. #nephjc

Yes - deemed too risky by some specifically CT surgery teams #nephjc

If persistent AKI with rising serum cr and or oliguria -yes #nephjc
What am I waiting for?
Also, if seizure is from a dialyzable drug, yes for sure

No issues with nursing staff
Harder to get buy in from colleagues who had already made up their mind which strategy is better and also surgical teams #nephjc

Anitha Vijayan from Intermountain Health Salt Lake City. Excited to join tonight’s #nephjc
COI - I consult for dialysis companies and have received honoraria
Also one of the investigators for the study

Dialyze Less, Recover More? AKI’s Chance to Get LIBERATE-D — NephJC This week, we will discuss whether less is more when it comes to discontinuing dialysis in patients with AKI and a chance to recover.

We are discussing LIBERATE-D this week on AKI

#NephJC

Take away the 12 sevelamer pills and give fish oil !! #nephjc

Olive oil? #nephjc

Wonder how 🫒 oil placebo would have worked 🤔 #nephjc

It’s recommended to stop fish oil prior to surgery and even kidney biopsies #nephjc

Apparently corn oil placebo is the “fishy” part! #nephjc
Dr Lok did say it’s only about tsp per day. Why not use another oil?

Does it still give bad breath? #nephjc

Found it interesting they did not evaluate AVG or AVF patency in this trial
I asked that during LBT #nephjc

Thank you! Great to “see” you!!

Joining #nephjc after a long time - couldn’t miss the one with hottest (or fishiest 🤔😃) topic of #kidneywk
No COI

😂😂

My take aligns with @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social
It’s very sad how SoMe has just deteriorated into this disgusting cesspool. Very hard to avoid politics and just focus on MedEd in any platform

😂
