#ECNeph @brammahin @Dilushiwijay @myadla @acssjr @dra_miliflores Diagnoses in nephrology at different junctures Few at admission Few in the history Few in the sequence Few in the investigations Few in the biopsy And a few in the recovery

When you suspect MMF-hyperinflammation dont forget to exclude these #ECNeph @brammahin @myadla @Dilushiwijay @dra_miliflores @acssjr.bsky.social

#ECNeph @brammahin @Dilushiwijay @myadla @acssjr @dra_miliflores ⚠️ Few warnings exist already

💥 Could this be MAS in SLE? We are seeing it more often, 🗝️ - Clues in clinical practice Fever Pancytopenia Organomegaly ⬇️ ESR with disease activity #ECNeph @brammahin @Dilushiwijay @myadla @acssjr @dra_miliflores

Differentiating fever from flare in lupus #ECNeph @brammahin @myadla @Dilushiwijay @dra_miliflores @acssjr NLR CRP/ESR ratio <2/2-15/>15 : <2 s/o infection

#ECNeph @brammahin @Dilushiwijay @myadla @acssjr @dra_miliflores 💣. Predisposition - Yes Not enough for diagnosis ❌ No organism identified ❌ No focus of infection

ℹ️Turns out patient has hypogammaglobulinemia ❓MMF related/disease related Ig A - 134 mg/dl ( 70-400) ⬇️Ig G - 669 mg/dL (700-1600) ⬇️⬇️Ig M - 38 mg/dL (40-230) 😏Does it explain all? #ECNeph @brammahin @Dilushiwijay @myadla @acssjr @dra_miliflores

#ECNeph @brammahin @myadla @Dilushiwijay @acssjr @dra_miliflores #ECNeph Do you agree ? Post your final diagnosis .... Is it to do with IST ?

31 Jul 2025 12:45 +0000

#ECNeph @brammahin @myadla @Dilushiwijay @acssjr @dra_miliflores #ECNeph see the time line of admissions for febrile episodes Class switch High inflammatory markers Infection clues negative 3 episodes in 2-3 months Where should this lead to ?

31 Jul 2025 12:45 +0000

🦠 When do you think fever is of infection in origin? ⁉️ Can we rule out all infections all the times? Say some hidden TB or a very timid virus. We need more markers. #ECNeph @brammahin @Dilushiwijay @myadla @acssjr @dra_miliflores

#ECNeph @brammahin @myadla @Dilushiwijay @acssjr @dra_miliflores #ECNeph yet another admission ..in a weeks time premature discharge vs recurrence of infection /appearance of flare High inflammatory markers favour infection or is it non infectious inflammation

🗣️Fever in SLE - An enigma wrapped in mystery. Interested in hearing your phrases of fever and also how do you define it in routine practice? 🧈 Just basics #ECNeph @brammahin @Dilushiwijay @myadla @acssjr @dra_miliflores

31 Jul 2025 12:38 +0000

#ECNeph @brammahin @myadla @ISNkidneycare @Dilushiwijay @acssjr @dra_miliflores Does the evaluation suggest flare ? All atypical infections ruled out Malignancy ?????? What else ? PET-CT ?
