💊 HD vs Hemoperfusion: choosing the right extracorporeal modality for toxin removal Not every toxin is dialyzable—and adsorption ≠ dialysis. 🔹 Hemodialysis: best for small, water-soluble toxins with low protein binding — e.g. lithium, salicylates, toxic alcohols. 🔹 Hemoperfusion: may help with highly protein-bound/lipophilic toxins — e.g. phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine, valproate. 👉 The choice depends on toxin properties, not just the severity of poisoning. Know the toxin. Choose the modality. Save the patient. #Toxicology #Hemodialysis #Hemoperfusion #Nephrology #CriticalCare #ExtracorporealTherapy

🐍 Snakebite-associated TMA: VICC vs true TTP — the diagnostic trap Snakebite + thrombocytopenia + schistocytes ≠ automatically TTP. 🔹 First exclude active VICC: prolonged PT/aPTT, low fibrinogen, ongoing consumption/bleeding. 🔹 Once coagulation normalizes, persistent MAHA + thrombocytopenia + AKI → think TMA. 🔹 ADAMTS13 <10% → TTP → urgent plasma exchange. 🔹 If ADAMTS13 is not severely deficient → snakebite-associated TMA is more likely → supportive care ± KRT. The key is recognizing when VICC ends and TMA begins. Nice talk by @iamnephrologist #Snakebite #TMA #TTP #VICC #Nephrology #AKI #CriticalCare

🐍 Can we remove snake venom extracorporeally? A key nephrology–toxicology question. IHD/SLED/CRRT: ❌ Clinically meaningful venom removal unlikely PLEX: ⚠️ Theoretically possible, but not routine Hemoperfusion/Hemoadsorption: 🔬 Promising concept, but insufficient clinical evidence 👉 Bottom line: Extracorporeal therapies are primarily for organ support (AKI, hyperkalaemia, acidosis, fluid overload)—not venom clearance. Antivenom remains the definitive therapy. #Snakebite #Envenomation #Nephrology #AKI #CRRT #CriticalCare

🐍 #snake bite management Time is kidney It is important to differentiate between type of envenomation to guide therapy Eg myotoxic needs fluids first Rest all need ASV Also know which will lead to AKI @iamnephrologist

Had a wonderful time as guest faculty at the PG Teaching Program at @LtmmcM Sion hospital medicine dept.🩺 Nothing beats the energy of a room full of curious PG students. Spent the session discussing the clinical nuances of clinical nephrology to medicine fellows…(some hoping will be future nephrologists🤞) It was lovely to meet my own old mentors❤️ #Nephrology education #MedEd #nephforward
