And nephrology is not the exception. AKIs come in different flavors, we can smell the etiology based on the presentation and the way the serum Cr (sCr) rises.media.tenor.coma woman wearing a black shirt with butterflies on it says a repeating pattern with her hands in the airALT: a woman wearing a black shirt with butterflies on it says a repeating pattern with her hands in the air 1219

Reposted by Swetha KanduriJuan Carlos Q Vélez, MD @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social · 19/01/202511/n during literature search, I found a paper that claimed the 2-panels image below to be acyclovir crystals. Actually, those are NH4 biurate crystals (see example next to it). Remember: being skeptical is a healthy habit. Tons of published case reports are fake news and reflect poor peer-review 193
Reposted by Swetha KanduriJuan Carlos Q Vélez, MD @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social · 19/01/20259/n Interestingly, several reports describe macroscopic visualization of crystalline sediment in the Foley bag that prompted #UrineMicroscopy. No AKI was present. Numerous polarizable needle-shaped crystals are reported in those cases. Example PMID 32549883 153
Reposted by Swetha KanduriJuan Carlos Q Vélez, MD @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social · 19/01/20257/n more recently, we encountered another case of AKI with a precipitous rise in sCr in a pt treated with IV acyclovir (see graph). We were consulted about 36 hrs after the last dose of acyclovir had been given. The ask was to determine if acyclovir was the cause of AKI or not 121
Reposted by Swetha KanduriJuan Carlos Q Vélez, MD @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social · 19/01/20255/n I have repeatedly emphasized that vancomycin is notorious for causing precipitous AKI. In the case of vancomycin however, there’s experimental evidence of vanco-mediated disruption of OATs that could drive some of the steep sCr rise. A past tweetorial here bsky.app/profile/juan... 141
