Take away the 12 sevelamer pills and give fish oil !! #nephjc

Olive oil? #nephjc

Wonder how 🫒 oil placebo would have worked 🤔 #nephjc

It’s recommended to stop fish oil prior to surgery and even kidney biopsies #nephjc

Apparently corn oil placebo is the “fishy” part! #nephjc
Dr Lok did say it’s only about tsp per day. Why not use another oil?

Does it still give bad breath? #nephjc

Found it interesting they did not evaluate AVG or AVF patency in this trial
I asked that during LBT #nephjc

Joining #nephjc after a long time - couldn’t miss the one with hottest (or fishiest 🤔😃) topic of #kidneywk
No COI

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/...
