Into my last week of the clinical year @BWHKidney@MGHKidneys
I would like to summarize my top 10 clinical nephrology growth as a fellow
I am bolder and more decisive than my 3rd year resident self
What are your favorite renal pearls 🤩?
1/
🗜️ ddAVP clamp 🗜️
Time 0, patient with hypoNa 109, we have no other lab
Patient is demented, cannot provide history
Looks euvolemic…
ddAVP+3% clamp helps
buy time while figuring this out
manages hyponatremia very very well
1/ I often get asked about the presence of granular casts on the automated UA reported by the lab whether it is equivalent to seeing muddy brown casts.
❓Do you think granular casts can be used to diagnose ATN?
More to see in #NephMadness on #liquidbiopsy @NSMCInternship2/ Spin the urine! This is one of the maneuvers that I enjoy doing with residents the most as there is a lot to uncover.
I totally underestimated the power of this test. How many times have you spun the urine yourself before nephrology training?
