Agree - but you left out the word routinely 😊 It is rare - but osteomalacia exists. I have seen a few cases - one even mimicking metastatic bone disease.

I read that - incredible true story!! Amazing work by Dr Juurlink to get the truth

Most AKI and ICU studies have used 90 day outcomes. ATN study used 60 day mortality. #nephjc

This brings us back to acute dialysis staffing issues that @hswapnil.medsky.social alluded to earlier #nephjc

Anitha Vijayan MD @vijayanmd.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Based on this study how many nephrologists will agree for pts to participate in a larger study to look at 90 day mortality? #nephjc Is there equipoise?

Very true, especially on the floor where urine output it’s not charted accurately. Very easy to write the dialysis orders and move onto the next patient. #nephjc

Anitha Vijayan MD @vijayanmd.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Yes very important to note this was primarily a non-ICU study. Being on the ventilator or having high O2 requirements was an exclusion #nephjc

Anitha Vijayan MD @vijayanmd.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Needles not an issue - all AKI so all had catheters. But your other points are valid. #nephjc

Anitha Vijayan MD @vijayanmd.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Yes - deemed too risky by some specifically CT surgery teams #nephjc

Anitha Vijayan MD @vijayanmd.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

If persistent AKI with rising serum cr and or oliguria -yes #nephjc What am I waiting for? Also, if seizure is from a dialyzable drug, yes for sure

Anitha Vijayan MD @vijayanmd.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

No issues with nursing staff Harder to get buy in from colleagues who had already made up their mind which strategy is better and also surgical teams #nephjc

Anitha Vijayan from Intermountain Health Salt Lake City. Excited to join tonight’s #nephjc COI - I consult for dialysis companies and have received honoraria Also one of the investigators for the study

Wonder how 🫒 oil placebo would have worked 🤔 #nephjc

Anitha Vijayan MD @vijayanmd.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

It’s recommended to stop fish oil prior to surgery and even kidney biopsies #nephjc

Anitha Vijayan MD @vijayanmd.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Apparently corn oil placebo is the “fishy” part! #nephjc Dr Lok did say it’s only about tsp per day. Why not use another oil?

Found it interesting they did not evaluate AVG or AVF patency in this trial I asked that during LBT #nephjc

Thank you! Great to “see” you!!

Joining #nephjc after a long time - couldn’t miss the one with hottest (or fishiest 🤔😃) topic of #kidneywk No COI

Anitha Vijayan MD @vijayanmd.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

My take aligns with @juancarlosqvelez.bsky.social It’s very sad how SoMe has just deteriorated into this disgusting cesspool. Very hard to avoid politics and just focus on MedEd in any platform

Anitha Vijayan MD @vijayanmd.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

I totally forgot to join #nephjc yesterday - I wanted to join just to say I detest phos binders and their sole purpose is to torture the patient so a lab number can improve. Plus major under recognized and under reported side effect like colonic ulcers and GI bleeding

Will add this to the things that would not have made my bingo card - My daughter said recently watched a podcast where Travis Scott said his childhood goal was to be a nephrologist!! Google did the rest 👇 Really want to know who this cool nephrologist uncle was :-) hiphopdx.com/news/travis-...

Unbelievable that this is happening …just sad I know lot of people die in India because they can’t afford to pay for dialysis. They do PRN dialysis based on symptoms and how much money they have. Can see the same thing happening here now 🥲🥲

Anitha Vijayan MD @vijayanmd.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

Its frustrating that this story is almost a second thought in the cbs segment. Shooter (3rd yr resident) had a list of nephrologists he was targeting! @asnkidney.bsky.social and @nkf-professionals.bsky.social need to condemn this in the strongest possible terms

Very nice catch! And word descriptions (small/regular/large) are quite meaningless across manufacturers - see from @amjhypertension.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ajh/article/...

Cuff sizes of 42 home-based devices from 13 manufacturers on the US BP Validated Device Listing and comparison with the American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations. Devices from the same manufacturer with similar cuff size options and terminologies were grouped together and sequential numbers were used to indicate each device. *Omron 12 devices: HEM-9200T, BP7000, BP7250 HEM-7311, BP7200 HEM-7311, BP7100 HEM-7311, BP5450 HEM-7311, BP5350 HEM-7311, BP7450 HEM-7320, BP7350 HEM-7320, BP5100 HEM-7311, BP5250 HEM-7320, BP7900-HEM7311. **Transtek standard size (22–32 cm) fully overlaps with the ranges for its large (22–42 cm) and XL (22–45 cm) sizes.

I’ll nitpick:-) Cuff too small/tight?

But…very low SGLT2i/GLP1 use in this study, so we are living in a different world. Plus we don’t stop either of those meds in CKD/CKD5 not on dialysis #NephJC
