Check out the latest on risks of oliguria from Profs Kellum and Murugan. OK so maybe not as bad a sarin gas but not benign either!
Once again, if we're honest, oliguria in critically I'll patients is anything but benign. @yourICM @CCCNPitt nam12.safelinks.protection.o…

Persistent Acute Kidney Injury ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… #SCCM
Make your new's resolution to stop using quasi-anatomical terms (pre-renal, intra-renal) to describe AKI and instead focus on reversible vs persistent and make a specific diagnosis (e.g TIN, vancomycin nephrotoxicity). This paper might help doi: 10.1097/CCM.0000000000001102

Tried to pick a fight at #NKFClinicals today in a debate on the Stewart approach to acid-base. I thought I would get a bigger rise from nephrologists when I showed them that the pH of a crystalloid has no affect on what it does in body to acid-base (what matters is the SID).

I also showed how it matters not what the kidney does with bicarbonate because the lungs excrete 850 mmol of CO2 per hour. Still no one threw anything at me. I guess nephrologists are just nice people.
