A hospital-wide policy to administer lactated Ringer’s solution rather than normal saline did not result in a significantly lower incidence of death or readmission to the hospital within 90 days after the index admission.

Clinical variables and antibody levels predict remission in PLA2R-membranous nephropathy over 3 or 6 months of treatment, with 3-month models allowing earlier assessment of response. bit.ly/CJASN0694

By far my favorite KIDNEYcon memory and possibly my favorite nephrology conference moment. The karaoke Uber with Tim Yau singing Taylor Swift as we came home from John Arthur's Martinis and Meatballs party

Think primary aldosteronism means hypertension, hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis...think again. Can undercover hyperaldosteronism be a key to CKD?🔎

20F with MN BUT full house staining IF. Neg ANA/dsDNA. Associated neph syndrome. Minimal response to ritux x2. Minimal response to MMF (attempt to rx for presumed prolif LN). Next step? Not the most reliable patient so 'easy' regimens preferred 🙏🏾 @askrenal.bsky.social @nephrowhitt.bsky.social
28.01.2025 17:04 — 👍 5 🔁 2 💬 2 📌 1I agree- likely latent LN. Do u know if b cells were depleted? LUNAR outcomes were positive with ritux if b cells were depleted. If not- i would use obi altho there were not pure Memb LN included in NOBILITY trial. Can use CNI to help control proteinuria until b cell depletion kicks in.

I've decided that "hyponasality" is my least favorite diagnosis when i am on call because it makes me type 6 letters before i get to the fun diagnoses

Lol maybe next cycle will be a bit sooner. But I have seen your brain at work. I imagine you will get 100% correct and spend <30 seconds on each question!

Some light holiday reading courtesy of @ajkd.bsky.social and my co-author @captainchloride.bsky.social. The questions sync up with scenes in Home Alone. 😉
Unfortunately, we have no cat related commentary. That’s there for general cuteness (and a different paper on feline CKD)
