Gary Singer - nephrologist in St. Louis lurking tonight #NephJC Book Club

I recently posted a question about relapsing MCD on @asnkidney.bsky.social Communities community.asn-online.org/home The discussion by Drs. Glassock, Radhakrishnan, Rodby, Aledan and others was extremely valuable and informative. It also proved that AI will never replace smart nephrologists!

New 2025 AHA/ACC Hypertension Guideline dropped! www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/... #hypertension #medsky #nephsky

🌎 to @unicode.org : Please introduce a kidney emoji so we don’t have to use 🫘 600-700 million ppl have kidney disease globally and kidney dysfunction is the 7th leading risk factor for global mortality. This emoji request seems a bit more important than Bigfoot. blog.unicode.org/2025/07/say-...

@ashleygwinter.bsky.social love reading the 🤡 responses to your last post on Twitter/X. Hope your husband is doing well - as well as you and your baby.

It’s a wrap!! RPA 2025 Annual Meeting was one for the books. Thanks to everyone who attended. Looking forward to 2026 in Atlanta!! #rpa2025

Our fearless leader @kidneydo.bsky.social delivering the @renalphysicians.bsky.social President’s Address focusing on mission, vision and values of this organization. “We are all in this together”. A tough act to follow. #RPA2025 #RPA25

Inspired by this year’s @rpaamy.bsky.social Louis Diamond lecture delivered by @annagaddy.bsky.social “Reclaiming the Joys of Practicing Medicine”. She shared lessons learned on her journey as an altruistic kidney donor and the need to become engaged and to advocate for our profession and patients.

Kicking off the new and improved @renalphysicians.bsky.social Annual Meeting! Kudos to @katiekwonmd.bsky.social and the Education Committee for putting together #RPA2025 #RPA25 attracting record attendance!

If you’re a nephrologist or a Nephrology APP who takes care of patients, you need to be here. “If you’re not at the table, you’re probably on the menu” @renalphysicians.bsky.social @robertblaser.bsky.social #RPA25 #RPA2025

A heart doc said, “Love’s quite grand!” But the nephro replied, “Understand— If your filters should fail, Your romance turns pale, So let’s keep both working as planned!” Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ #NephSky #CardioSky

80 yo man with T2DM s/p kidney transplant SCr 1.1-1.2 mg/dL. Abn echo. Cor angio - 3v heavily calcified CAD. Normal EF. Cardiologist recommended high risk PCI. Why not CABG? #CardioSky #MedSky

7/10 Chat consensus? 1️⃣Keep Calm and Keep adding RASi in ur patients 2️⃣Individualise, since we don't have individual level data on adverse effects 3️⃣What about RA(A)S blockade in kidney failure? Looking forward to more evidence in 2025 ! @garysinger.bsky.social @hswapnil.bsky.social

When will alerts become smarter? And why is calcium acetate hazardous to geriatric patients? 🤦🏻‍♂️ #AlertFatigue #MedSky #NephSky

RRT forever Even KRT sounds clunky And don’t get me started on the CKRT instead of CRRT It’s an Anglophilic fetish #NephJC

Gary Singer checking in from St. Louis for the last #NephJC of 2024 No COI So appropriate to be reviewing this article. Local cardiologist started a patient on clonidine (!) “because of renal insufficiency”. Her eGFR is 50 and UACR 300 🤦🏻‍♂️ Switched her to an ARB. Lots of work to be done.

CVS Caremark #PBM denied coverage for guanfacine - “only covered uses are ADHD/ADD”. Cost for 30-day supply $322.39 vs @goodrx.bsky.social quotes under $6! Thank you @mcuban.bsky.social for trying to address #PBM price inflation.

Dear cardiology friends, When will “drive by” renal arteriograms and automatic stenting of arteries to atrophic kidneys be a thing of the past? #CardioSky #NephSky #SkyNeph

“21 missed (dialysis) treatments in the last 7d” 😂 😮 But we don’t prescribe thrice daily dialysis and the numbers don’t add up. EHR trust but verify and “GIGO” Time to modify the algorithm 🤦🏻‍♂️ #NephSky #SkyNeph
