🫀Low dose spironolactone is safe in ESRD, but monitor K+
🫀Spironolactone does not decrease CV events or HF hospitalizations in ESRD
🫀No meds (ACEi/statins) have improved CV mortality in ESRD to date; patiently awaiting SGLT2/GLP1/nsMRA studies in ESRD

Nå hadde vi en historisk sjanse til å gjøre oppdrettsnæringen langt mer bærekraftig🐟
Så velger man å ikke gjøre det🤷 Havbruksnæringen tjener store store penger, og har stor negativt påvirkning på miljøet🤑

@kevinyau.bsky.social GLP1 agonist master Jedi presenting at #ERA25.

💉GLP1 agonist reduce ED visits and hospitalizations!!!

📉Awesome methods. Best of the session:

💊DDP4 for comparison, IPTW, ICES data. Ticking all the right boxes (EPI nerd).

💊Only 40% on SGLT2i!!! We should flozinate more!!!

NRK - valgomaten burde ikke bestride fakta. Dette var skuffende. Spørsmålet bør heller være noe slikt som "Norge bør ikke kutte klimautslipp"

a long time ago I used to knock normal saline for being hypertonic

I want to set the record straight on this, I was wrong

NS & LR are *functionally* isotonic

to affect sodium concentration, you'd need to give an impossibly massive volume

Tring to make a chart showing that knowing the volume status does not tell you the anything about the sodium concentration (and vice versa). What would you add (and where)?

ANSWER

💡PTH can increase as early as days after an AKI.

A 1978 study performed serial measurements of PTH in patients with AKI. They found that PTH was elevated within days of injury and returned to normal when renal function recovered.

I think MRAs in CKD are tricky to use.
You need a tight protocol - not a loosey-goosey pragmatic trial

Latest NASA global temperature data.
Earth has never been hotter since Homo sapiens (we) discovered agriculture in the early Holocene. Likely even since the Eemian interglacial 120.000 years ago.
Fossil coal, oil and gas emissions caused it.
We need to stop making it worse.
We can if we want to.
