Maybe the most shocking study from #KidneyWk. 🐚From the depths of the oceans to #BlueSky, we're discussing PISCES 🐟 12/2/25 9pm EST. #NephJC Are you hooked🪝on fish oil for CV disease in ESRD, or are you throwing it back 🌊? www.nephjc.com/news/pisces-fishoil

The International Vasculitis Workshop is pleased to announce the full speaker lineup for the 2026 event in Melbourne! Explore the complete list and learn more about each speaker on the Workshop Website: vasculitis-melbourne2026.com/plenary-spea...

The success rate for NHMRC Ideas Grants announced yesterday was just over 8%. That means 11 of every 12 people who applied got rejected. This is a culture changing level of rejection and frankly a point of national shame. This is a crisis for research. I will not rest until we see this resolved.

The program for the 22nd International Vasculitis Workshop has now launched! Filled with amazing plenary speakers and sessions. Visit the website vasculitis-melbourne2026.com/program-full/ and start planning your Workshop!

Up next: It might seem a little fishy, but was a great catch 🎣 #NephJC PISCES, the use of fish oil to decrease mortality in dialysis patients. www.pubmed.ncbi.nlm....#NephJC

Mark your diaries! The ViCBiostat Summer School returns from 13-20 Feb 2026, in Melbourne and online. Courses include causal inference, cluster randomised trials, meta-analysis and the estimand framework. Further details TBA shortly - sign up to our mailing list at www.vicbiostat.org.au #statistics

Among more than 800 000 CKD-PC participants, discordance between cystatin C and creatinine eGFR values was associated with increased risk of death, cardiovascular events, and kidney failure. ja.ma/47A5Gdd

In PISCES, daily n–3 fatty acids cut serious cardiovascular events in dialysis patients by nearly half (HR 0.57). Fish oil clearly had bigger fish to fry than placebo: fewer MIs, strokes, cardiac deaths without extra adverse catches @nejm.org #kidneywk sim publication www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Shocking first high impact trial of the day. Fish oil reduces CV events in dialysis patients! #Pisces #kidneywk Simultaneous pub in NEJM www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Very proud to have lead the Australian arm of PISCES. Huge thanks for Charmaine Lok for the collaboration.

happening tomorrow! @dialysisbloke.bsky.social will be musing on vascular access for #NephGR at @uottawa.ca and @ottawahospital.on.ca

Should we be considering the variability of a person's BP? Growing evidence that more variability is linked to poor outcomes. Maybe something for the 2033 BP guidelines... Long‐Term Blood Pressure Variability and Physical Performance in Older Adults - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

If you are a medic that follows this advice, you get a professorship. If you are a statistician following this advice, you get laughed at (until you rebrand as a data scientist 😘).

Congratulations to Alison Weightman for winning a poster prize 🏆 at the 2025 TSANZ ASM 👏 Her poster looked at nephrologist perspectives on information sharing with recipients during deceased donor kidney transplant offers

Great #ACHIEVE ment by @lastwalsh.bsky.social and colleagues presented at the #ERA25. An important study that will hopefully be published accordingly.

ACHIEVE trial - Spironolactone in Hemodialysis stopped early... due to futility 😢 I had some hopes for this one. #ERA25

And now Silke Brix giving us the Con agreement against PLEX. #ERA2025 #Nephsky

Prof David Jayne giving us the Pro view of PLEX in ANCA vasculitis #ERA2025 #Nepsky

Great news! The @who.int adopts the resolution on kidney health spearheaded by @theisn.org apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf... (PDF at link) #NephSky #PublicHealth

Today I re-read this one from almost a year ago. Very succinct and says more than many papers on this topic do! @dominicmagirr.bsky.social dominicmagirr.github.io/blog/posts/c...

Australia is planning to introduce a new deceased donor kidney allocation system 🐨 Using novel approaches we expect to improve both immune and prognosis matching while also improving equity 🙌 The proposal is available for public consultation here: www.kidneyallocationaustralia.com

The biggest #BlueRibbonFail of #NephMadness is CAR-T. Very cool immunology, perhaps useful in extremely severe autoimmunity, but overall impact on nephrology? Next to nil. Too toxic, too hard to scale.
