    I keep seeing (hearing) new acronyms for medical conditions, therapies, etc.

    When I was working, there were some that we used (CHF, eg), but it was nowhere as ubiquitous as I see today.

    HRT
    AUD
    TBI
    AMD (which can process to GA!)
    CKD
    ARF

    And a host of others.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Yeah, they repeatedly check my FEV1 to look for warning signs for AMR or BOS. I had a BAL 10 days ago which ruled out NTM, RSV, and a number of other pathogens. My medication-induced CKD is monitored on a monthly basis too (stable for years at stage 3).

          Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            @Doctor-Phibes said in Acronyms in Medicine:

            A case of TMA?

            The proper acronym is AFTLA.
