Kidney function improved after 12 F drain placed under CT guidance!!

Page kidney: Patient s/p kidney biopsy, complicated by subcapsular hematoma. He became more hypertensive and Serum creatinine went up from 2s to 8 within days.

Yes, already did!

Same here, I was contacted about a federal grant!!

Hi, check this study from Cleveland Clinic, looks like favors hydroxy cobalamin www.jcvaonline.com/article/S105....

I do that vice versa, start on 2 k and then go to 1 for the last hour as you still have a high gradient with the 2, but hopefully a smooth shift.

Really well done! I love the math behind!

Fascinating, thank you🙏💪! Unrelated to the topic, but it reminded me about pseudo hyperchloremia with a negative anion gap!!! Bromide and iodide belong to the same group (as chloride) in the periodic table with 7 electrons, and can interfere with some assays measuring chloride!

Hi, not yet. I have tried the iQ+. The iQ3 appears to have a smaller footprint, glad it has better cardiac images.

So far workup is in progress with concern for Mycobacterium species,pending cultures.

...an ascending colon mass-like thickening suspicious for active malignancy. Colonoscopy + for 2 malignant-appearing friable masses, but pathology returned negative for malignancy and revealed prominent granulomatous inflammation with focal crypt abscesses, no AFB or fungal organisms identified.

While the Initial workup for fungal infections, TB, and sarcoidosis was negative, she received zoledronic acid and ketoconazole instead of prednisone due to concern about underlying infectious processes. Then PET CT showed..

Almost twins!!

Yes!

In the 140s-150s, despite being hypovolemic with multiple drains!

This was taken with Clarius convex scanner. It works pretty well for abdominal imaging, a little challenging on the cardiac imaging.

Our patient with a single kidney underwent CT-guided drainage but it appeared to be an organized hematoma. In addition, there was partial ureteral obstruction due to extensive collections/adhesion post multiple surgeries.
