Citrate or Heparin for CRT

As part of my other blogging job (eAJKD) I had the opportunity to interview Drs. Mei-Yi Wu and Ka-Wai Tam who performed a meta-analysis looking at anticoagulation. They examined filter life and other complications of CRT. The interview was conducted by Facebook IM, which was pretty cool and helpful with a significant language and time-zone barrier.

Check out the interview and the article.

By the way Jhaveri, Sparks and the rest of the team have been killing it at eAJKD and have really built a solid blog. Amazing how far they have come in a couple of months. Solid work.

Using the instructions from the NEJM I captured this muddy brown cast in a patient with acute on chronic acute kidney injury. I love this new tool.

This is a significant upgrade from the version I posted a couple of years ago. I put the lecture together right before the ATN trial was published. I finally got around to updating the presentation to include that data. I also updated the NGAL section and added some data on avoiding volume overload.

I used a number of the posts on the blog to allow me to rapidly update the presentation. I was pleased with how well my ATN commentary/review stood up.
