The conventional diuretic treatment of ascites in patients with cirrhosis is high doses of spironolactone w/furosemide (classic 100/40 ratio). This was also mentioned recently on @thecurbsiders. Where does this come from and is it true? A quick🧵. #MedTwitter #nephtwitter
In 1981 Fogel et al compared 3 diuretic strategies in 90 patients w/cirrhosis
1.spironolactone + lasix prn
2.lasix alone
3.spironolactone + lasix
🔥Furosemide alone appeared to perform worst for weight loss though not statistically sig. Required sig up-titration and massive KCl

🔴 Determine a pain level that would be tolerable
🔴 Come up with a tentative duration of treatment

So often we discuss the correction rate of hyponatremia, but what about hypernatremia? #medtwitter #nephtwitter #meded
🧐What is your correction rate for chronic hypernatremia?
So often we discuss the correction rate of hyponatremia, but what about hypernatremia? #medtwitter #nephtwitter #meded
🧐What is your correction rate for chronic hypernatremia?
Older guidelines recommend a correction of no more than 8-10 mEq/dL in 24 hours borrowed from pediatric literature
“Fast” correction is generally considered to be more than 12 mEq/dL per day

The latest Harrison is a giant encyclopedia of molecular data. Clinical medicine has been reduced to a bare minimum. I am talking about the 20th ed.
In fact, the Oxford Textbook of Med 6th ed is relatively better clinically but it comes in 4 giant volumes.
