This makes me want to know more!

The we-won‘t-change argument, currently very famous in climate discussions, has reached #nephrology.

If #exercise on dialysis is expensive but improves QoL, then the answer is: ENGAGE in having it reimbursed!
We did this for vitamins and phosphate binders, which don’t even improve QoL.

Our patients can’t afford this nihilism. Wake up, #dialysis nephrology!

A study by Martin Halle and his team shows that #kidneypatients benefit from physical exercises during #dialysis and that their health improved significantly after one year: http://go.tum.de/971079

A new purification system developed by researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology uses an electrified version of #dialysis to separate salt and other unnecessary particles from the potable product, enabling scientists to desalinate water at 90% less cost than current methods. They're planning to move to larger bodies of water.

Yikes! The great #DiaTT study is published at NEJMEvidence!

If we would apply the same logic here as we did for #phosphate, every #dialysis patient would be prescribed #rehabilitation or #physiotherapy. Daily.

I‘m very aware that nutrition medicine is the darknet of evidence based medicine but I wonder nonetheless if anyone has experiences with curcumin in #dialysis ?

Just read this observational study of dialysis outcome in Germany and these numbers seem terribly high to me, esp for younger patients. I wonder how these numbers compare internationally.

RT @EKHA_EU: In his remarks, #MEP @buschmannmartin told his compelling personal #kidneycare story, testifying to the impact of both kidney disease and #dialysis on patients’ QOL. Thank you, Mr. Buschmann, for your much-needed appeal to the #EU to focus on #kidneytreatment & #innovation https://t.co/4sw9PpWVIy

once food poisoned myself w/chicken back in 2011 & #noScienceGirl dumbly did not know about bacteria growth & tbh have no idea how I’ve survived thus far..probs b/c i never cooked

poisoned myself late AM but by PM my autonomic system wasn’t working & would stop breathing. also found out where my :renal: were that🌙

my #covid infections & Pfizer shots has identical soreness except instead of 24 hrs, went on for months

if you want to avoid #dialysis or transplant, advise taking care of kidneys

I made the mistake, while on #dialysis, to watch #Seaspiracy. I had no idea!

I’ve decided to eliminate fish from my diet. Being on a dialysis renal diet which is mostly protein and carbs, being Vegan is life threatening for me due to the high potassium in Vegan food.

Life is full of hard choices that I will never be comfortable with.

Many people with kidney failure receive #dialysis treatment. Infections are common among people receiving dialysis and can be very serious.

During #NationalKidneyMonth, learn more about ways you can help prevent these serious infections: https://bit.ly/3yM0CQw

Interesting simulation study on needle dislodgement on HD. We use moisture detectors on all out Home HD patients in part for this reason - failure of the alarms. But we have to constantly remind patients to use them. https://journals.lww.com/kidney360/Abstract/9900/Detection_of_Hemodialysis_Venous_Needle.125.aspx. #dialysis #haemodialysis #hemodialysis #nephrology
