One thing about nephrologists I wish everyone knew during an AKI course: I PROMISE that if dialysis helped speed up renal recovery or shortened the process (and might in a congestion scenario), we’d all jump to do it. But it doesn’t. And can harm/protract that recovery. Let

It’s 2020 and I’m still getting radiology requests to “coordinate dialysis after contrast” for euvolemic, long-term HD patients. The glacial inertia of medicine in the face of greater knowledge/data might be the most frustrating clinical part of practice.

@Caulimovirus The act of appropriately not dialyzing also takes a lot more thought and effort. From my unfortunate exposure to a “Doctor B” it’s as much laziness or lack of effort/thought/caring for why they just dialyze. And when they UF them into kidney oblivion, it also becomes easy $

Have to agree with @MilMileBattery on #FSDBeta 10.5. After a number of issues with 10.4, I just drove from the hospital to home - 11 miles with multiple left turns - with no disengagements and only one intervention (accelerator to start moving at a R on red). Impressive.

I am rapidly approaching a point in my life where I’d simply prefer non-nephrologists not say anything at all about patients’ labs. Rarely correct. Rarely nuanced. Often needlessly distressing. The psychological damage the non-nephros inflict is so hard to overcome. #endrant
