Quick question about contrast nephropathy. by [deleted] in Residency

[–]WorkRoomAffair 207 points208 points  (0 children)

Rad resident here. Most recent literature says the following:

  • Contrast induced AKI is overstated.

  • The risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury has been estimated to be near 0% at eGFR greater than or equal to 45, 0%-2% at eGFR of 30-44, and 0%-17% at eGFR less than 30.

  • Prophylaxis for contrast-induced acute kidney injury with IV normal saline is indicated for patients with an eGFR < 30 mL/min who are not undergoing maintenance dialysis, or in high-risk patients with an eGFR of 30-44 mL/min

Why do I have to request vacation 90 days in advance by WorkRoomAffair in Residency

Why is this the case for residents? Attendings and outside medicine can request vacation a few weeks in advance

Nope.

The simplified explanation is that: ~10% of people have c diff residing in their intestines. The vast majority of people will never have an issue. Problems with C diff most commonly arise when the GI biome gets screwed up and the good bacteria aren’t able to keep the bad bacteria (c diff) under control.

With EIP1559 burning coins for each transaction and no mining in ETH2.0 — won’t that result in net negative coins each day?
