NephrologyKidneyPlaintiff-side

Built for AKI + hyperkalemia + dialysis-access cases.
AI deposition trainer with KDIGO depth.

Nephrology medmal cases concentrate around AKI recognition + workup, severe hyperkalemia management, contrast nephropathy prevention, dialysis access thrombosis, and medication renal dosing. KDIGO + KDOQI define the floors.

Why a nephrology-specific trainer matters

Nephro cases turn on documented AKI workup per KDIGO (urine output, FENa, urinalysis, imaging), complete hyperkalemia management (calcium gluconate STAT), and renal dose adjustments. Each is in the chart or it isn't.

The 6 failure modes

Sev 10

Severe hyperkalemia — incomplete management

K+ >6.5 with ECG changes; calcium gluconate + insulin/D50 + bicarb + binder not all initiated.

"I gave insulin and dextrose but I was waiting on the calcium."
Sev 9

AKI recognition delay

KDIGO Stage 2-3 AKI; no workup or nephrology consult documented.

"I thought it was prerenal."
Sev 9

Transplant rejection — workup delay

Rising creatinine in transplant recipient; biopsy delayed.

"I was going to monitor her trend."
Sev 8

Contrast nephropathy — no prevention

CKD + IV contrast; no hydration protocol or contrast minimization.

"We needed the CT — I didn't want to delay."
Sev 8

Dialysis access — thrombosis recognition delay

Loss of thrill on AVF; thrombectomy delayed past 48h.

"I was going to address it at her next session."
Sev 8

Medication — no renal dose adjustment

CKD patient on DOAC/gabapentin/antibiotic without renal dose check; toxicity.

"I didn't check her GFR."

The signature impeachment trap

"I thought it was prerenal" vs documented AKI workup

Lock the witness into "I thought it was prerenal," then juxtapose against the KDIGO AKI workup standard requiring documented assessment.

"You thought it was prerenal?" → "Yes."
"KDIGO AKI workup calls for urine output, FENa, urinalysis, and renal US?" → "Yes."
"Your chart does not document a FENa, urinalysis, or renal ultrasound."

Why this lands: witness has framed clinical impression as a substitute for the documented workup KDIGO requires.

FAQ

Why does nephrology need its own deposition trainer?

Nephro cases turn on documented KDIGO workup + complete hyperkalemia management + renal dose adjustments. KDIGO + KDOQI are real published floors.

What guidelines does the AI cite?

KDIGO for AKI / CKD / Transplant Recipients.

Does it work for defense expert prep?

Yes. Expert-prep mode against your defense nephrologist.
