Torsemide is proposed to have clinically important pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic advantages over furosemide. This study found no meaningful pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic advantages for torsemide versus furosemide. bit.ly/JASN0481

💡 Kidney stone patients not meeting their fluid intake goals? Try this one weird trick! Sprinkle a little Carolina reaper powder on their food a couple times a day and 💦🆙 they'll be drinking so much water you'll be looking up the latest #NephJC on hyponatremia correction rates! GI docs hate him!

Kidney biopsy on aspirin, nay or yay? I am interested in your type 1, blink of an eye, kind of reasoning. Is Dr Glassock yet in Blue Sky? #askrenal #nephsky @kidneyboy.bsky.social

💊 Hydralazine (Hz) was first introduced to the market in 1951. The first case of Hz autoimmunity was in 1953, and the first series of Hz induced ANCA vasculitis overlapping with lupus was in 1984! But, who is really at high risk and what are the outcomes? #nephsky #nephtwitter

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

#nephsky

🦋will hit 22 million users tonight 🐦 & 🧵 have many magnitudes more users But it’s the quality and not the quantity of users that gives BlueSky the edge, says @jaypeters.net at @theverge.com www.theverge.com/2024/11/23/2... h/t @kidneyboy.bsky.social via @scalzi.com

Just finished a smooth migration of prior X tweets to @bsky.app. Shout-out to @marcomaroni.it for the excellent code! 🔥https://github.com/marcomaroni-github/twitter-to-bluesky #NephSky #MedSky #NewHorizons

How do we feel about this study (DAPA advKD)? www.medscape.com/viewarticle/... Does it answer the Q of initiating SGLT2-I in adv CKD? Are the numbers enough? #nephsky @kidneyboy.bsky.social @hswapnil.bsky.social @freelyfiltered.bsky.social Maybe another one that could be discussed..

I hope that people who took an Ancestry or a 23&Me or simply had a relative who was sequenced for their cancer treatment understand they are one hack away from them and their facilities before they become uninsurable or unemployable once #GINA is revoked along with the ACA.

Hot take for #nephsky. I dislike the common use AKI for anyone with an elevated creatinine. Neither volume contraction nor obstruction cause significant injury. I find this use decreases thinking.

Just saw 2 ICU hyperNa cases, so here's a #medsky #nephsky🧵 on why... 🤨 Out: Solute-free H2O clearance 😎 In: Electrolyte-free H2O clearance 🫘 1st was recovering from AKI -->⬆️ filtered urea load as the BUN ⬇️ 🥩 2nd was receiving very high protein tube feeds -->⬆️ filtered urea load with stable BUN

The feed is still too slow for the live #nephjc chat, but seems to collect all the posts in discussion threads nicely. Looks great for following up after the chat! bsky.app/profile/did:...
