We always evaluate our kidney biopsy samples before submitting them. Often hard to get 100% cortex in our small patients. Here’s a great image showing both cortex (top) and medulla (lower portion) from a recent sample. US guided 18g needle biopsy in a 2.5kg cat with a UPC of 10. #vetneph

The International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) has finally updated their website! Lots of great educational material here. Give it a look. Bugs and typos are likely to be encountered as we clean it up. #vetneph www.iris-kidney.com

No, this isn’t a positive contrast cystogram. It’s an enormous struvite stone. Associated with urease producing UTI (staph, proteus, klebsiella, etc.). When you see this- dissolve the stone! Don’t cut it out! #vetneph

Yes- horses can get membranous nephropathy! Really nice spikes and holes on the silver stain and subepithelial complexes confirmed on EM. This horse had nephrotic edema and hypoalbuminemia. UPC was 5.8. #vetneph

Kaz’s kidneys graduated!! He sustained an AKI from ethylene glycol. 32 PIRRT tx (106 days). His brilliant kidneys laughed at 10% odds of recovery

So just keep the lilies out of the house if you have cats! Cats are drawn to the smells and colors of the lily plant- don't risk keeping one inside! Cats can't resist the temptation to rub their face on the flowers (ingesting pollen) or chew on the petals! #vetneph

The phrase of the day is "treacherous ureter".
Used in a sentence: My bulldog has idiopathic renal hematuria and apparently bulldogs tend to have treacherous ureters, which makes them less than ideal candidates for sclerotherapy.

The CARPEDIEM works pretty well to perform outpatient dialysis treatment in cats and small dogs. Still takes 5 hours to treat, but the 41ml circuit volume is much appreciated! #vetneph

My daughter got "Good Dog, Carl" for her first birthday. I started reading it to her, and then promptly had to explain to her that grapes are nephrotoxic to dogs! Don't let your kids feed the dog grapes! #vetneph
