0% SGLT2i or CNI
17% Sparsetan
33% Horrible steroid

Yesterday I asked MS4 graduating medical students at a forum if they thought AI was a tool or threat to healthcare and their careers? Overwhelming these physicians cheered TOOL! 🔨 Interesting to hear the perspective of those with the most at risk but also ready to implement.

If you are using the earth as a reference frame, the moon is actually doing a close flyby of Artemis II.

Instead of a CEO eating a hamburger, I’d like to watch the @southwestair CEO find a $39 flight.

Great to see a kidney centric Super Bowl ad. We need more UACR screening. Any positive result is a warning ⚠️. Even my son was interested #SuperBowlLX

Did we (meaning "you" of course, because you voted) get them right? Is there something missing or is the order wrong? #NephJC #TopTenStories2025 Come discuss with an international cadre of nephrologists & other interested parties on 1/6/26 at 9 pm EST only on #Twitter

Eli Lilly $LLY.N is now worth $1 trillion dollars. Mounjaro and Zepbound driving this enormous valuation. We need these drugs to be more available to our population. This can be done and great profits for the pharma simultaneously. CV event prevention helps us all

Today I had a clinic patient referral for a lady that’s 80 years old. Her hypertension and mild CKD regimen is likely being prescribed by a doctor older than her: diltiazem and triamterene. The markers of an old prescriber that hasn’t kept up with the HTN/CKD renaissance.

Spotted in the Amsterdam airport: this popular Dutch black candy is legendary for leading to hypertension and electrolyte abnormalities when consumed in high quantities. What is the disorder?
