Let's start with a vignette! 13 yr M with CAKUT s/p DDKT 6mo ago, p/w with doubling of Cr from 0.7 to 1.5 mg/dl, normal vitals and PE. UA normal. A lot of recent stressors and concern for non-adherence.
Sounds like a familiar scenario?

EMPA-KIDNEY trial is a randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to assess the effect of empagliflozin on progression of kidney disease & CV disease, & to examine safety profile of the drug in a wide range of pts. w/ CKD
The trial included patients without diabetes, patients with an eGFR of less than 30 ml per minute per 1.73 m2, and patients with low levels of proteinuria
People are living in crisis from hunger 🚨 @USDA est that 30 mil in USA (includ 12 mil children) are experiencing food insecurity.
Many Americans are just a job loss, missed paycheck, or 🏥 medical emergency away from experiencing hunger.

Food insecurity (FI) is lack of *consistent & socially acceptable* access to enough safe food for an active, healthy life. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated FI for so many.

Why should FI matter to #NephTwitter? It’s a social determinant of health w/ *major* implications 👉 poorer overall levels of health, chronic med conditions, & lower levels of psychosocial/physical functioning.

We face an information dilemma we face in medical communities. The dilemma originates from customized search results. How can anything customized *to/for you* be a negative?
It's negative when ≥2 people are searching for the same thing (the truth) & getting different results.

💥”Adverse Effects of SGLT2”

⚡️SGLT2i adverse events data from the major SGLT2i trials including the CV outcomes trials, Heart failure trials, CREDENCE trial and DAPA-CKD Trial
- amazing talk by @jardine_meg
#KidneyWk @ASNKidney
⚡️SGLT2i adverse events data from the major SGLT2i trials including the CV outcomes trials, Heart failure trials, CREDENCE trial and DAPA-CKD Trial
⚡️Overall the serious adverse events associated with SGLT2i use were lower than the adverse events seen with placebo use in most of the large SGLT2i trials👇🏽
⚡️SGLT2i associated adverse events were similar across the eGFR spectrum meaning that low eGFR was not associated with higher risk of adverse events compared to high eGFR - as seen in the CREDENCE trial👇🏽

Let’s be clear. This isn’t intended as a direct device comparison. This isn’t about if one device is “better.”

It is more of a comparison between the endo-anastomoses. I hypothesized outcomes would be discerned by the location of the anast, so that’s how they are divided and grouped.

Fluid overload is bad news for patients:
1. Causes AKI
2. Prevents organ and patient recovery
3. Increases mortality
Ill share some of the data masterfully presented by @criticalbeansmd today at #KidneyWk starting with the take home points, in case this is the only tweet you see

Fluid Overload is very common, is all over the place and it has several definitios.
Patients accumulate weight at least for the first 7 days if the ICU doesn’t have some sort of FLUID STEWARDSHIP program in place. Remember fluids are drugs #KidneyWk.

There is no single situation in which Fluid overload is beneficial for patients. On the contrary. It is bad in every situation, doesnt matter how we slice or present the data. Liberal fluid strategies are always worse #KidneyWk
All nephrologists should be learning #POCUS now. It is safe, reproducible, cheap!!! Some uses are:
1. Rule out obstruction
2. Dx cause of hemodynamic inestability
3. To guide vascular access

Beyon the basic applications in #AKI
1. Assessment of kidney perfussion
2. Detection of early AKI
3. Prediction ofpersistent AKI
4. Detect kidney congestion
2D US is ok, but using other modalities like doppler we can get more granular data on kidney hemodynamics.

However using only color doppler or power doppler is not good enough. #KidneyWk
