Lasix is NOT nephrotoxic 🫘 Please retweet so we can end this myth once and for all 🦄 Rising creatinine is more often an indicator of inadequate Lasix dosing than excessive!! Lasix can only harm the kidneys if it decreases cardiac output by dropping preload to the point of reducing stroke volume... as someone who scans these patients regularly this is surprisingly rare! If a patient still has venous congestion (on Doppler), then Lasix is not driving the AKI. Instead, their AKI is from untreated congestion!!

Thank you!! Had so much participating 🤓

Out in Blood (first edition). Thx to reviewers who encouraged us to prove classical pathway stimulus on multiple cell surfaces including endothelial cells (HMEC1) shown below. Commercialization coming!

For Kidney Health Advocates- lets all get on the same page: 1) only <5% of incident CKD is caused by HTN;2) progression of CKD can be slowed by treatment of HTN when proteinuria is concomitantly present; 3) HTN is mostly consequent to CKD, not caused by CKD.
