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?
What is the potential cause of graft dysfunction in this patient?

The most anticipated nephrology trial of the year has been published!
“Empagliflozin in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease” #Kidneywk
@NEJMnejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
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.
#HCWvsHunger 🍎 #UrineItToWinIt 🍏
🧵1/
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.
#HCWvsHunger 🍎 #UrineItToWinIt 🍏
2/
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.

/the information dilemma_

A 17-tweet summary of my academic contribution to the #KidneyWk 2021 meeting.

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.

Some are more advanced than others; it is very evident that #NephTwitter is far more advanced than other specialties: longer experience w/#SoMe education & more offerings. Image

💥”Adverse Effects of SGLT2”
- 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 Image
⚡️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👇🏽 Image
⚡️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👇🏽 Image

A summary of our oral abstract at #kidneywk. Prelim outcomes utilizing both Ellipsys and WavelinQ for #endoavf creations. Compiled and presented by Dr. Genena, one of our fellows. 1/x @ASDINNews #NephTwitter
Let’s be clear. This isn’t intended as a direct device comparison. This isn’t about if one device is “better.”

These are a compilation of my experiences, thoughts, opinions and limited to my hands only. Yours may be different. That’s ok. Probably preferred. Share and learn. 2/x
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.

Ellipsys: prox RA - perforating vein anast
WavelinQ Ulnar: UA - UV
WavelinQ Radial: prox RA - RV 3/x

💥COVID-19 in Dialysis Patients
@ASNKidney #KidneyWk #COVID19

⚡️Limiting Spread of Infection in the HD unit by @KidneySW
Some key pearls 💎

⚡️The 1st patient to die due to COVID-19 in the United States was a Hemodialysis patient (died on 28th Feb, 2020)
⚡️How contagious is SARS-CoV-2 virus?
⚡️More contagious than Influenza but less contagious than Measles
⚡️Each SARS-CoV-2 positive person can infect 3 more people👇🏽
⚡️ESKD patients are 5x more likely to have COVID-19 than other Medicare beneficiaries

⚡️ESKD patients are 8x more likely to be hospitalized due to COVID-19 than other Medicare beneficiaries👇🏽

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

@WBeaubien #KidneyWk
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.

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