I haven’t seen that reported automatically! Agree it’s utility is quite limited #NephSky

I suspect this is probably also true in adults but I don't get paid enough to answer that :(

Hot take: automated BUN/Cr ratio reporting in children causes confusion/concern while providing no additional value and labs should stop reporting it on pediatric results 😤

I can't imagine they'll be sold when they have no apparent path to monetization except pharma ads and selling user content to LLMs, but they can't possibly have the userbase for that to be economically feasible I bet they will just burn through their runway and go dark one day

kidney.wiki/kidney-visualizer I was tired of hastily googling crappy pictures when explaining kidney conditions to families, so I added a 3d kidney model with a dozen different pathologies on it Could come in handy for student/resident education as well as in clinic. Hope you find it useful 🙂

Remember when social media wasn't *completely* ruined yet? It felt fragile at the time. Turns out it was.

I thought it was mandatory nowadays that all medical acronyms need to be absolute garbage? If you want to tap into the zeitgeist and maximize marketability, you will have to try something like "TOON.ai: sTarting to reOrient consensus Opinion toward stronger evideNce in nephrology... oh and also AI"
