A hospital-wide policy to administer lactated Ringer’s solution rather than normal saline did not result in a significantly lower incidence of death or readmission to the hospital within 90 days after the index admission. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
Clinical variables and antibody levels predict remission in PLA2R-membranous nephropathy over 3 or 6 months of treatment, with 3-month models allowing earlier assessment of response. bit.ly/CJASN0694 #ASNCJASN

Hahaha . . What kind of world we must live in if Swap would be considered an evil no-gooder.
We should have stopped the count a full decade ago after the original #nephgate was exposed with @nephrowhitt.bsky.social mugshot. We didn't thus allow the election of topics to be stolen by evil no gooders like @hswapnil.medsky.social

Think primary aldosteronism means hypertension, hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis...think again. Can undercover hyperaldosteronism be a key to CKD?🔎 #NephJC chat 2/11/25 at 9pm EST #NephSky www.nephjc.com/news/primary...
Undercover Aldosterone — NephJC
This week, we will discuss the origins of primary hyperaldosteronism in normotensive patients. Could this undetected anomaly be the cause of idiopathic hypertension and CKD?
