Thanks for a great talk - it was very educational and helpful for all. Ongoing support to push combination diuretics in the right setting is key.

#NephMadness starts for us tomorrow - fellow/TPD led discussion on met acidosis and hyponatremia correction. Sure to engender opinions as always! Must aim for the "correct" answer on both.

#nephmadness - slow correction preserved and call for more work in CKD acidosis treatment prevailed in our first nephmadness round - thanks to all working on this!

#nephmadness - Gila Monster for the win, a new first for Animal House I believe. Perhaps GLP1RA should be in our CKD management lists just like SGLT2i and MRA now. Thanks all for the lively discussions.

Thank you to Dr. Avasare, OHSU Pathology & Laboratory Medicine and numerous colleagues for input and work on this large case series of lipoic acid nephropathy - an emerging disease which may gain greater importance. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Big thank you and congratulations to several faculty members and fellows reciving awards this year - thank you for your work! Ally Miller, Rupali Avasare, Tonja Dirkx, Rob Rope, Ali Olyaei, Jessica Weiss

Exciting day watching class of 2024 fellows graduate - Dr. Ally Miller heads to practice in Texas and Dr. Nathan Hocker will join OHSU nephrology this summer. Thank you for your work! You will be missed!

Dr. Justin Smith (gen neph class 2023) is graduating from transplant fellowship and will be joining OHSU Faculty as well. Welcome aboard!

A big thank you as well to all our faculty and staff who make fellowship happen. The 2024 Teaching Awards went to Dr. Oliver Padgett (our new APD) and Dr. Eric Ryan - thanks for all your guidance and support!
