NEWphrologist in the making!

The Jan 2013 issue of ACKD has a focus on the role of the nephrologist in the intensive care units( medical, surgical, neurosurgical, cardiac). Vast topics from sepsis, care of a ventilated patient, critically ill ESRD patient are discussed in the entire issue. Interestingly, a new name is given to the role of the nephrologist in the intensive care unit- newphrologist. Definitely a growing field in nephrology and at some centers - a separate service. Not sure if the name justifies the function of the intensivist nephrologist.

Nevertheless, check out the entire issue on ACKD.
