We’ll start with practice in proper calculations of IV fluid rates and hear the latest thinking on diuresis. (Hint: 2x maintenance might not be as helpful for nephrotoxins as you once thought!) Next, we’ll unpack secrets for more accurate diagnosis of leptospirosis, review new national standards for treatment of UTI’s, and learn to manage sequelae of CKD. After closing out the course with a lesson on hypertension, you’ll be ready to flush out any troubles that come your way.
