🛠️ How do we get there?
🧃 Liberal water intake
🧂 KCl over K-citrate/gluconate for dual K⁺ + Cl⁻ support
💊 Early acetazolamide and SGLT2i to reduce Cl⁻ loss
🧪 Use urine Na⁺ to guide decongestion & aim for 150-250mmmol net Na⁺ removal per 1kg above "dry weight"

⚠️ Diuretics are indispensable tools, but they are physiologically clumsy.
They cause:
🥵 Electrolyte-free water loss (mostly from intracellular compartments)
🧂 Disproportionate Cl⁻ excretion
⚡ Further K⁺ depletion
🚱 And with fluids? Intracellular dehydration worsens.

🔄 The Na⁺ story gets even more interesting:
HF causes:
🔹 Intracellular Na⁺ shifts
🔹 Extracellular Na⁺ buffering by glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)
🔹 Displacement of K⁺, Mg²⁺, H⁺
💣 Net result: electrolyte imbalance + loss of cellular osmolytes.

I've had the pleasure of many fun experiences over the years, but being crowned "Smartest Person" at the @BevelChiro Oscar ceremony last night has been the pinnacle!

Some already pointed out the fact that #Google searches for #toiletpaper have been increasing in the last few weeks... #COVID19 But can anybody explain why we already did this once before in the last five years, namely in the week of 17-23 Feb 2019??? @GoogleTrends #trends
