We ask pediatric nephrologists to dose drugs in AKI, CKD, dialysis, CRRT — and then don’t train them adequately in clinical pharmacology. Excited to share this editorial I wrote with @stanggirdwood.bsky.social about the importance of pharmacology training in pediatric nephrology

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! 🤩 🥹
Rhodes Hambrick, MD, MS@rhodeshambrick.bsky.social · last yr.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 🫘
And, shout out to not one, not two, but THREE of our faculty for being on the medical education honor roll - Drs. Jeanne Frisby-Zedan, Rhodes Hambrick, and Priya Verghese! 🤩🏆👨🏫👩🏫 @rhodeshambrick.bsky.social @luriechildrens.bsky.social
Thrilled to be hosting the wise and accomplished @rheaultm.bsky.social for a combined adult and pediatric nephrology grand rounds on Alport syndrome. Thank you for your tremendous work and sharing your insights with us! 🫘🧬

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
Loving our Lurie Neph representation at #PAS2025! Learning all about cardiorenal syndrome, updates in nephrotic syndrome, novel approaches for diabetic kidney disease, and so much more 🤩
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
Is that… …the 30th anniversary AKI-CRRT water bottle? Yes, yes it is
Our Lurie neph crew is having a great time at AKI-CRRT 2025! Stay classy, San Diego 😎
Grateful to have such an amazing @lurienephrology.bsky.social and @luriechildrens.bsky.social PICU crew here in San Diego for AKI-CRRT 2025! Great opportunities for learning about updates in critical care nephrology 🫘💉☀️
Yesterday our fabulous fellows had a well-deserved day off to beat the winter blues 🥶 — we appreciate all your hard work! 💪🏻
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 !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...
How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca
In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

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 🤣
For better or worse I think I’m adjusting to Chicago winter considering it’s 12 out and I just thought “ah doesn’t feel too bad bc it’s not windy”
After a #kidneyomics talk to the Lurie nephrology team, a #nephrologuys pic is clearly required @kidney-kula.bsky.social @rhodeshambrick.bsky.social
Very proud to return to my fellowship Alma mater to co-present Pediatric Grand Rounds at Cincinnati Children’s with this stellar group of pediatric clinical pharmacologists: one dose does indeed NOT fit all! 💊🫘🧬🧪 Thank you @stanggirdwood.bsky.social for being a great host!
On September 21, 2021 we launched our 501c3 w this WaPo Editorial. Our goal: bring public pressure on State Medical Boards responsible for delegitimizing licensed doctors spreading COVID disinformation. They refused. These doctors then legitimized RFK Jr. That’s how we got here. wapo.st/4fuRNOJ
Opinion | State medical boards should punish doctors who spread false information about covid and vaccines
Thus far, regulatory bodies have failed in this duty.

Excited for my first week of pediatric nephrology consults at Rush! Grateful to get to work with so many different hospital systems in the Chicago area
