Yes- horses can get membranous nephropathy! Really nice spikes and holes on the silver stain and subepithelial complexes confirmed on EM. This horse had nephrotic edema and hypoalbuminemia. UPC was 5.8. #vetneph

This question raises concerns about the inappropriate early start which needs to be changed and the question removed This is dangerous

No signal for mortality but you end up with more on dialysis

Take at look at STARRT-AKI Absolutely no signal for reduced hospital stay www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Matthew Sparks @nephrosparks.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

They cite the lancet meta analysis of 1700 patients which is just before the 3000 patient STARRTAKI Add the meta analysis on length of stay is not even significant!!!!! Why would they test trainees like this. Spreading false narrative www.thelancet.com/action/showP...

A shame this is take home message which is not rooted in evidence Shorter hospital stay? DC to LTAC? Are they serious?!??! This is dangerous
