My take aligns with @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social
It’s very sad how SoMe has just deteriorated into this disgusting cesspool. Very hard to avoid politics and just focus on MedEd in any platform

I totally forgot to join #nephjc yesterday - I wanted to join just to say I detest phos binders and their sole purpose is to torture the patient so a lab number can improve. Plus major under recognized and under reported side effect like colonic ulcers and GI bleeding

Unbelievable that this is happening …just sad
I know lot of people die in India because they can’t afford to pay for dialysis. They do PRN dialysis based on symptoms and how much money they have. Can see the same thing happening here now 🥲🥲

My exact thoughts!!

Its frustrating that this story is almost a second thought in the cbs segment. Shooter (3rd yr resident) had a list of nephrologists he was targeting! @asnkidney.bsky.social and @nkf-professionals.bsky.social need to condemn this in the strongest possible terms

So well written!! Love the nuance and humor. Adding Grok response was the icing!

Very nice catch!

And word descriptions (small/regular/large) are quite meaningless across manufacturers - see from @amjhypertension.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ajh/article/...

I’ll nitpick:-) Cuff too small/tight?

But…very low SGLT2i/GLP1 use in this study, so we are living in a different world.
Plus we don’t stop either of those meds in CKD/CKD5 not on dialysis #NephJC

Yes I use de-indexed #NephJC

Any data to support this hypothesis? #NephJC

So if I’ve a pt with eGFR of 25 on metformin GLP1 agonist and Dapa and HbA1C is 5.9 - should I not stop metformin to at least avoid polypharmacy? #NephJC

Great study and great analysis of the paper! So what’s the lowest GFR we should stop metformin? #NephJC
