Urinary Sediment Examination - a brief summary #UrinarySediment #UrineMicroscopy

The man himself who took a young unenthused med student and turned him into a nephrologist, ATN expert, and HRS enthusiast. Finder of Cipro crystals and RBC casts. The mentor I hope to measure up to one day Juan Carlos Q Velez himself #KidneyWk #UrineMicroscopy #UrinarySediment

Another fantastic #KidneyWk on the books, but this one, in particular, will always have a very special meaning for me 💙 #ProudPapi

When 3 members of the future generation of nephrologists gather exhilarated exchanging #UrineMicroscopy photos, you know it was my birthday #ICanRestInPiece #KidneyWk

Throwback Thursday #tbt Struvite crystals have a rectangular “coffin shaped” appearance. Expect for alkaline urine pH >7. Don’t get them confused with the more square “envelope shaped” calcium oxalate crystals. #UrinarySediment #UrineMicroscopy

AKI shortly after exposure to ciprofloxacin. #UrinarySediment reveals polarizable structures likely cipro crystals (free & in casts). Some CaOx monohydrate crystals also present. 2x2 sharing an old case (top) and this case (bottom) to highlight similarity. Dustin Chalmers, MD poster 👇🏼

Throwback Thursday #tbt waxy casts are thought to be the product of RTEC and granular cast breakdown. However as you can see here, broken down RBC casts can also take on a waxy appearance #UrineMicroscopy #UrinarySediment

Throwback Thursday #tbt uric acid crystals form in acidic urine pH<5.5. They can either have a diamond or barrel shape and polarize polychromatic. #UrineMicroscopy #UrinarySediment

#tbt on Friday because I forgot on Thursday. Bilirubin crystals are typically found in cirrhotic patients with elevated serum bilirubin. They have a needle-like appearance and polarize bright green #UrineMicroscopy #UrinarySediment

Congrats on the retirement Dr. Perazella. Thanks for teaching us all about urinary microscopy

Throwback Thursday #tbt lipid casts and oval fat bodies can be found in the setting of nephrotic range proteinuria. They polarize with. Maltese Cross appearance #UrineMicroscopy #UrinarySediment

Got to wear my lucky tie today for my resident conference on Hypertension in CKD courtesy of Jay R. Seltzer

Excited to present two posters at SSCI: Southern Society for Clinical Investigation Southern Regional Meeting on my work with MBGC and Waxy Cast Measurement and Parenchymal and Non-Traditional Etiologies of AKI in ESLD

Remembered to get a photo with the #1 moderator Swetha Kanduri this time at SSCI: Southern Society for Clinical Investigation Southern Regional Meeting!

Always a pleasure to see the big boss Juan Carlos Q Velez at the SSCI: Southern Society for Clinical Investigation Southern Regional Meeting!

Nephrology journals got it right this month with their pics for cover art #UrinarySediment #UrineMicroscopy ASN Kidney360 NDT 🙌💪🔬

I’m non nephrology news, it’s my wife and my second wedding anniversary! Love you, Thanks for good times and putting up with all my urine pictures!
