r/nephrology

Hi, incoming PGY2 IM resident here. I’ve had a lot of interest in symptomatic hyponatremia treatment. Especially with a JAMA meta analysis describing increasing correction rates may actually be okay.

I’m at a community hospital with an open ICU and have seen wildly different approaches to treatment.

I was hoping someone here a nephrology attending wouldn’t mind connecting with me on how to develop a protocol and just consult with for advice.

I know it may seem lazy to say, but renal path is so annoying. How pertinent is it for boards to recognize advanced patterns? We send the biopsy out and the pathologist reads and interprets it and we take their word for it which is fair. How in depth is the average Nephrologist’s knowledge about all the patterns of GNs etc?

Hi,
Wondering if you feel comfortable managing most kidney-related conditions or troubleshooting them? Or which conditions do you feel somewhat anxious while managing.
Also what resources do you recommend studying with during fellowship to build a very strong base?
