The first big change in dialysis care in the US in decades, coming in 2025! I wrote about hemodiafiltration in this month’s #KidneyNews. (ASN is not yet on Bluesky?!?)

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped!

What's it say?

It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay!

Was it just a small study?

No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients!

Correction Rates and Clinical Outcomes in Hospitalized Adults With Severe Hyponatremia
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the association of sodium correction rates with mortality among hospitalized adults with severe hyponatremia.

In the era of Instagrammable urbanism, sometimes the simple, low-cost and functional urban interventions don’t get enough attention. This very simple quick-install seating has been rolling out at #HamOnt’s space-constrained, lower-volume local bus stops.

What happens if you change from NaCl 0.9% to Dextrose G5% solution as universal drug solvent on icu? Less hypernatriemia! So proud that this is out!

This study is going to be the topic of #NephJC ’s first journal club on Bluesky. Next Tuesday 9pm EST.

Classic case of kidney biopsy in a patient with Fabry disease. Foamy podocyte and tubular cytoplasm. Myelin inclusions in lysosomes by EM (no gloms for EM; but tubules still useful). #renalpath #nephrology #pathsky

Thanks @hswapnil.bsky.social for pushing the move to Bluesky. I think there’s a critical mass of the nephrology community here now to ditch the bird site. #NephSky #NephJC
