📢 Tweetorial on sepsis -endotoxin- cytokine cascade

👉Pathogen invasion in body

👉Pathogen expresses certain molecular patterns or
endotoxins called pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)

👉
PAMPs are recognized by toll-like receptors expressed by
neutrophils Image
👉 Activation of innate immunity and leukocytes

👉Release of cytokines - pro +
anti-inflammatory(interleukins 1, 6, 8, 10 &
tumor necrosis factor)

👉 Dysregulated host
response to infection - organ failures

👉 Immunoparalysis, reinfection,
hospital-acquired infections ImageImage
Futher in the thread , extracorporeal therapies targeted at each level of sepsis cascade would be discussed 👇

Don't miss our monthly educational review #EHJACVC @ESC_Journals!

This month by the great @ArgaizR: fluids in #AKI
Co-starring: @ThinkingCC @khaycock2

Extremely proud that our journal offers a platform to 3 great clinicians & Twitter educators. I always learn from them... Image
A strong argument is made to switch mainstream thinking in #AKI away from the fallacious concept of fluid responsiveness in all to a primary assessment of fluid tolerance.

Probably the most important thing I have learned on Twitter: #VExUS Image
Why do I like #VExUS so much? Because it really changed my everyday practice... Portal vein became part of my standard #echocardiography assessment.

And that's what we want to achieve with this review, offer something directly applicable at your bedside! Image

Offering #dialysis to patients with a new diagnosis of #malignancy is always an emotive and complex affair if they present with an #AKI or #renaldysfunction
Sometimes it’s pretty clear - like in the 30 something who presents with a cervical cancer , bilateral hydronephrosis and K of 7- one will usually explain to The patient what’s the issue and buy them time for intervention which buys time for an oncology consult and further mx
Sometimes it’s not -70 plus with metastatic lung cancer and #AKI will likely need dialysis but is that the right thing - often it’s easy saying make the shared decision with the patient - but shock and the acuteness of the situation doesn’t help and true #SDM is seldom easy

1/16 Inspired by #NephMadness, let’s briefly touch on:

💢Role of kidney biomarkers in patients with CHF
💢‘Worsening kidney function’ in heart failure
💢Permissive hypercreatininemia
💢Handling RAASi and SGLT2i in heart failure
#NephTwitter #MedTwitter

2/16 Let’s have a poll.
Forward failure, characterized by decreased kidney perfusion, is the main determinant of kidney dysfunction in acute decompensated heart failure. Is this true or false?
3/16 That’s false!
◀️“Backward failure” (Kidney congestion, interstitial edema and tubular dysfunction) is believed to play a more vital role compared to “Forward failure”▶️ (decreased kidney perfusion)
Neurohumoral and inflammatory mechanisms also operate

This paper has many interesting findings but I wanted to focus on the #brain-#kidney axis. What is the relationship between the kidneys and brain injury in malaria? Can measuring tau levels help us identify children at risk of long-term brain injury? Let's discuss! 🧵 Image
Last year there were an estimated 627 000 malaria deaths with 80% of African deaths occurring in children <5 years of age. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 disruptions in public health measures to control malaria, this is higher than in previous years.
Survivors are at risk of long-term brain injury. We need tools to identify children at risk of brain injury for early interventions so that every child has an opportunity to survive, and thrive.

A deep dive into the long-term consequences of #COVID19 on kidney function and disease

#longcovid #PASC

@VAResearch @vahsrd @WUSTL @WUSTLpubhealth @WUSTLmed @WUSTLnews @VREFSTL
@Biostayan @BCBowe @JASN_News @ASNKidney

We previously provided a high dimensional characterization of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19

We showed that #LongCovid can affect nearly every organ system.

@Nature @NaturePortfolio

#COVID19 #PASC

What happens to long term kidney function in people who survive acute #COVID19 ?

And are they at increased risk of #kidney disease?

To address this, we built a cohort of 89,216 US veterans with #COVID19 and 1,637,467 non-infected controls.

Acute Kidney Failure

OR 🤔

Acute Kidney Success?

…bare with me while I explain 🧵

#NephTwitter #MedTwitter #Physiology #askrenal #tweetorial #aki #MedStudentTwitter #meded #FOAMed
We make 1-2 L of urine per day to eliminate

❎excess solutes
❎H2O
❎toxins

AND

✅maintain homeostasis.

This process is accurate to the T.
To achieve this accuracy, plasma is continuously filtered and reprocessed by the kidneys. ♻️

How much plasma is filtered per day, you ask? 😳

Roughly 200 LITRES! 🌊

1/ What causes #AKI with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)?

🗣️🗣️Let’s explore this 🔥topic from #NephMadness 2021

🧵#tweetorial #CriticalCare #NephTwitter @NSMCinternship @ASPNeph

Poll: How common is AKI in patients receiving ECMO?
2/ Basics first:
⚡️ECMO: temporary mechanical assistance device that provides prolonged cardiopulmonary support

⚡️Venovenous (VV) ECMO→ full respiratory support
⚡️Venoarterial (VA) ECMO→ both respiratory and hemodynamic support

ajkd.org/article/S0272-…
3/ Why are we talking about #ECMO?🤔🤔

⭐️Data from @ELSOOrg (Extracorporeal Life Support Organization): ⬆️📈⬆️in number of centers performing ECMO, and the number of runs (courses) per year

Can #bloodpressure treatment be harmful? Our new meta-analysis suggests it is NOT linked to #falls or #fractures but may increase the risk of syncope & acute kidney injury bmj.com/content/372/bm… – see thread @RichardJMcManus @Richard_D_Riley @ebhcmedstats @JulietU_S @drandyclegg
1/ No meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials to date have quantified the association between blood pressure lowering treatment and specific adverse events such as #falls, #fractures, #syncope (fainting) or acute kidney injury #AKI
2/ In a meta-analysis of 58 randomised controlled trials, including 280,638 participants and an average of 3 years follow-up, there was no evidence of an association between antihypertensive treatment and #falls (primary outcome) or #fractures.

New research update!

We have just completed a prospective observational study: "Clinical Trajectories of Acute Kidney Injury in Surgical Sepsis" to determine the long-term impacts of #AKI in #sepsis patients.

Read more about our study: journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…
The delayed or incomplete recovery of acute organ dysfunction during sepsis is an important determinant of survival and functional recovery. Since the kidney is highly susceptible to acute dysfunction during sepsis, we studied trajectories of AKI to see how they affect outcomes.
This single-center prospective 1-year longitudinal cohort study included 239 septic patients hospitalized in a surgical ICU. Blood and urine samples were collected to characterize endothelial function, inflammation, and immunosuppression.

Fluid overload is bad news for patients:
1. Causes AKI
2. Prevents organ and patient recovery
3. Increases mortality

Ill share some of the data masterfully presented by @criticalbeansmd today at #KidneyWk starting with the take home points, in case this is the only tweet you see
Fluid Overload is very common, is all over the place and it has several definitios.

Patients accumulate weight at least for the first 7 days if the ICU doesn’t have some sort of FLUID STEWARDSHIP program in place. Remember fluids are drugs #KidneyWk.
There is no single situation in which Fluid overload is beneficial for patients. On the contrary. It is bad in every situation, doesnt matter how we slice or present the data. Liberal fluid strategies are always worse #KidneyWk
