#NephSky more on mechanisms of polyuria in ME/CFS. Hypovolaemic dehydration triggering polydipsia. Dysfunction of RAAS system. Really is need for nephrologists to help unpick pathophysiology & manage multi system disease. Any one else have interest?
One of my sickest patients with ME was labelled with psychogenic polydipsia and denied IV saline. Patrick Ussher explains ‘this myth of psychogenic polydipsia’ in this excellent podcast by my colleague Julie Taylor. He also has a free downloadable book (see below).

Great thread from Dylan on Canada’s new diabetes guidelines.
Their guidelines say you can’t initiate SGLT2i at eGFR<20 - but I’ve just taught all our local north east England renal registrars the opposite.
Quick thread to justify why I think I’m right👇

No more red yellow green stop light colours anymore in the tables and figures because of Red Green colour blindness in the tables and tools (finally because one of the authors had RG colour blindness)

Sharing this just out from myself and @chrischirp.bsky.social asking about the JCVI decision to drop eligibility for the COVID vaccine in pregnancy from next year. 🧪 🧵
The UK is no longer offering COVID vaccines to pregnant women – here’s why that might be a bad idea
From spring 2025, pregnant women will no longer be eligible for free COVID vaccines in the UK.
