English gets its adjective endings -al and -ar (as in 'nasal' and 'lunar') from Latin -ālis and -āris. These are really the same ending! Latin used the form -āris to avoid two Ls close together in a word. Hence we find -ar in words with L in the root, like 'solar' and 'vulgar'.

$$$ A quick point about costs $$$ How much do creatinine and cystatin C cost? There isn’t just one number. A point @eugelin06 has made in the past – cost to whom?

Thanks @hswapnil for posting this & @asouth_neph @LucyStats for co-leading this effort! We wrote this paper out of concern of many quickly performed observational studies asking if ACEIs/ARBs are beneficial/harmful in COVID-19 (+ observational studies in COVID-19 more broadly)

⚡️Moving on to the Salicylate story Why do you prescribe bicarbonate in the setting of S-toxicity? The answer is NOT bcs you want to increase kidney excretion BUT to move S out of the CNS

Very nice overview by @VijayanMD 🙌 on PIRRT. #CriticalCare #KidneyWk How do you calculate SLED dosing for a patient who weighs 80kg? A- Calculate the fluid flow rate for 24 hrs 20cc/kg/hr B- 80 x 20=1.6 L/hr > 38.4/24 hrs C- SLED for 8 hrs> 38.4/8= 4.8 L/hr

Today I decided to start a thread reviewing one rare genetic kidney disease a day which I will share with you in 280 words or less. Although not all rare diseases have disease specific therapy, the diagnosis itself is therapeutic. Time to realize that rare is common!

Book recommendation: On Apology by Dr. Aaron Lazare is a fascinating read. He covers the role of apologies, historical examples of apologies, and how pseudo-apologies can cause even more harm. amazon.com/Apology-Aaron-Laz…
