A heart doc said, “Love’s quite grand!” But the nephro replied, “Understand— If your filters should fail, Your romance turns pale, So let’s keep both working as planned!” Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ #NephSky #CardioSky

Trying to get a sense of who uses this toolkit from @theisn.org @kdigo.org Please comment yes or no (and why). #hyperkalemia #NephSky #MedSky #CardioSky www.theisn.org/initiatives/...

80 yo man with T2DM s/p kidney transplant SCr 1.1-1.2 mg/dL. Abn echo. Cor angio - 3v heavily calcified CAD. Normal EF. Cardiologist recommended high risk PCI. Why not CABG? #CardioSky #MedSky

When will alerts become smarter? And why is calcium acetate hazardous to geriatric patients? 🤦🏻‍♂️ #AlertFatigue #MedSky #NephSky

Gary Singer checking in from St. Louis for the last #NephJC of 2024 No COI So appropriate to be reviewing this article. Local cardiologist started a patient on clonidine (!) “because of renal insufficiency”. Her eGFR is 50 and UACR 300 🤦🏻‍♂️ Switched her to an ARB. Lots of work to be done.

CVS Caremark #PBM denied coverage for guanfacine - “only covered uses are ADHD/ADD”. Cost for 30-day supply $322.39 vs @goodrx.bsky.social quotes under $6! Thank you @mcuban.bsky.social for trying to address #PBM price inflation.

Dear cardiology friends, When will “drive by” renal arteriograms and automatic stenting of arteries to atrophic kidneys be a thing of the past? #CardioSky #NephSky #SkyNeph

“21 missed (dialysis) treatments in the last 7d” 😂 😮 But we don’t prescribe thrice daily dialysis and the numbers don’t add up. EHR trust but verify and “GIGO” Time to modify the algorithm 🤦🏻‍♂️ #NephSky #SkyNeph

Epic Order Validation: “The stool guaiac order is no longer orderable for adult inpatients” Advised to order a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) - sent to another hospital with 2-3 day turnaround time 🤦🏻‍♂️ #GISky #MedSky
