CKD prevalence in elderly and the eGFR inflation effect, a very important paper in the @ndt-era.bsky.social . Not just for elderly but also for the young CKD population academic.oup.com/ndt/article/... #nephinp #nephrology_in_practice

A must read comprehensive article @ndt-era.bsky.social focusing on the biology/genetics of kidney stone. It highlights GWASs of calcium and phosphate handling (e.g., SLC34A1, CYP24A1, CaSR) and crystallization inhibitors (e.g., UMOD, pyrophosphate-related genes). academic.oup.com/ndt/article-...

Thoughtful and controversial blog from Last Month in Nephrology #NephSky #MedSy Albuminuria as an ESKD surrogate may be a statistical mirage, limited by imprecision and overinterpretation However, it moved nephrology forward and made studies happen lastmonthinnephrology.wordpress.com

🤔 How often is end-stage kidney disease in patients with MCD/ FSGS? #NephSky #MedSky @brianrifkin.bsky.social dissected the conclusions from the RaDar study in this #NephJCshorts *the original article from @asnpublications.bsky.social www.nephjc.com/news/nephjc-...

On 7/22/25 at 9pm EST only on Bluesky! #NephSky #MedSky join us for a lively discussion. We're debating eGFRdiff (the gap that is sometimes present between the eGFR of cystatin C and creatinine). What does it mean, what causes it and what you should do about it. #NephJC www.nephjc.com/news/egfrdiff

Use of SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in ADPKD is not "presently" recommended, because people with ADPKD have been excluded from the clinical trials; thus, its safety has not been evaluated (from @kdigo.org) #Nephpearls #NephSky 👉 kdigo.org/guidelines/a...

Finerenone reduced kidney and cardiovascular events in CKD and T2D patients, regardless of frailty. Benefits included lower albuminuria and slower eGFR decline, supporting its use even in frail individuals. #podocytetalk #Nephpearls #Nephrology #CKD journals.lww.com/cjasn/abstra...
