@bcdreyer.social Are you surprised that Dan Brown (nor his editor) doesn't know that this should be "nauseated" rather than "nauseous?"

I'm super proud of this work detailing the results of genetic testing in hundreds of kidney stone formers. We identified genetic causes for stones in 34% of those tested (47% if < 16 y.o.). So thankful for such great collaborators & patients! journals.lww.com/cjasn/fullte... #nephrology #mayoclinic

I love it when I realize I hit send on an email in which I type-o'd "my" to "me" and I sound Cockney, e.g. "Let me discuss it with me team."

Hot take: Academics are just an isoform of social media influencer. Publications are clicks and citations are likes. H-index = clout.

You know why I love a hepatectomy? It always de-livers! I just made that up and am amused with myself. But also appropriately disappointed.

Update on ALA treatment for cystinuria reveals we have a long way to go before nephrologists will be satisfied with evidence that it is effective and safe. Also, no one has supplied a viable mechanism of action. #rock2015

The best thing about the end of the year is seeing all the regularly-scheduled meetings get canceled and drop off the calendar.

Most hospitals have dropped masking & #SARSCoV2 testing requirements. But after 10 Boston hospitals ended both precautions a surge in hospital-onset viral infections ensued. Just resuming masks—for healthcare workers only—lowered rates of respiratory infections by 33% jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I've always assumed that people who drink ethylene glycol do it because they've internally asked themselves, "I wonder what it's like to have primary hyperoxaluria, types 1, 2, or 3?"

Fun fact: cystinuria was the first of the genetic kidney stone diseases to be characterized. Garrod presented his findings at the 1908 Croonian Lectures in London. Primary hyperoxaluria was the next to be described, and that was in 1925 by Lepoutre.

So how are we denominalizing (verbing) around here? "I Blueskeed about this very disease earlier this morning." I Skeed? I Skyed? I Butterflied? We need a consensus.

One of my favorite underrecognized serious kidney diseases? Dent disease! Many of my Dent patients have male relatives with CKD/ESKD either "of unknown origin" or misdiagnosed as FSGS.
