A summer bookended by nephro/AKI/CRRT conferences! Seems fitting for a #pseudopseudohyponephrologist!

Proud of @rhodeshambrick.bsky.social for his amazing presentation on drug dosing and his award winning poster on NGAL & cefepime clearance.

What joy to see him recognized as a star! 🤩 🥹

Honored to present with @stanggirdwood.bsky.social on optimizing drug dosing on CRRT at the first annual KidneyBee 🐝 meeting today!

Inspiring to see a group of nurses and NPs all passionate about critical care nephrology 🫘

Our faculty and fellows had such a great time learning the ins and outs, ups and downs, Pre- and post- pumps, connections and flows, and even delta-Ps this week at our ECMO-CRRT workshop!

Needed to acknowledge publicly that today is 5/5/25, considering 5*5=25

Or if you’re in Europe…5/5/25

And the mobile van is a go!

Super proud of Dr. Carlos Romero for leading our team to bring pediatric nephrology expertise right to the communities where it’s needed.

The first day of clinic on the van was a success! 🚐🙌🏻🩺

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen

It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world

It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

…the 30th anniversary AKI-CRRT water bottle?

Yes, yes it is

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

Sarcomeres vs nephrons? No way, says the awesome CardioRenal collaboration happening at @luriechildrens.bsky.social. Thanks @kidney-kula.bsky.social for a fantastic Grand Rounds on the interplay of kidney and heart health! 🫘🤝🏻🫀 — and may we all flozinate freely!

I’m always apprehensive getting my BP checked at the doctor, being a nephrologist. Like I will somehow be morally suspect if I’m a hypertensive nephrologist.

Safe this time 🤣
