The annual #NephMadnessParty in Tromso, Norway 🥳 Between kidney cookies, rhubarb drinks, and licorice, we agreed that CAR-T is this year's #nephmadness winner 🏆 #arctic-cart

Very interesting regions indeed ajkdblog.org/2025/03/01/w... #NephMadness #BlueRibbonFail incoming

Happy #NephMadness Day! The 8 regions of #NephMadness 2025 have been revealed on the #AJKDBlog. If you're a #NephMadnessNewbie, we explain everything here: buff.ly/DCZDRfN Looking forward to the fun and learning with all of you!

Preparing a presentation on HF in HD patients, focusing on sodium levels in dialysate. Low Na (<138) reduces IDWG and MAP, leading to decreased UF, which lowers the risk of intradialytic hypotension and myocardial stunning. What's the standard approach in #Nephsky: low or normal Na levels? #askrenal

Proposed age-adjusted eGFR thresholds for CKD 👇 #Nephpearls #NephSky eGFR 75 for ages <40 years eGFR 60 for 40-65 years eGFR 45 for >65 years 👉 link.springer.com/book/10.1007... 👉 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31506289/

Does anyone have experience with RTX in the maintenance treatment of steroid-dependent NS due to MCD/FSGS? 60-year-old 👴 with complete remission. Could stop prednisolone completely. Now, 4 rounds with RTX (6-month intervals). Is it safe to stop RTX and closely follow up? #askrenal

Our group does research on the technique, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out it holds up in TR patients (paper coming soon!). Still big ? about cirrhosis, positive pressure ventilation, CKD/ESRD. And then there’s the issue that it was only really built to predict cardio renal aki.

The BPROAD visual abstracts are live www.nephjc.com/news/bproad Nice work from @kajareeg.bsky.social with Spanish version @dramiliflores.bsky.social #NephJC #NephSky

Vexus is a great tool when assessing fluid status in patients with CKD and heart failure. Today, we assumed that a 60-year-old 👵 had achieved dry-weight. However, vexus showed this! Now we are increasing the diuretics 💁 #pocus #vexus

➡️ Up next on #NephJC #NephSky 🦋 Join us for some high pressure discussion on Dec 3,4 as we discuss #BPROAD from #NEJM nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1... Tweetorial by @drpallaviprasad.bsky.social

So, the complement system plays a major role in lupus nephritis, and I know eculizumab can be effective in the ICU with LN flair. Is there any ongoing RCT investigating an oral complement inhibitor in LN? Could avacopan be an alternative to CNI or belimumab? C5a levels are up in sle #askrenal

Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped! What's it say? It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay! Was it just a small study? No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Achieved BP in the control group for BPROAD was 133. So it really did compare (nearly) guideline therapy vs even lower "At 1 year, the mean SBP was 121.6 mm Hg (median, 118.3 mm Hg) in the intensive-treatment group and 133.2 mm Hg (median, 135.0 mm Hg) in the standard-treatment group."

Shouldn't the next BP target study compare targeting an SBP less than 120 mmHg or less than 130 mmHg? ESPRIT and BPROAD both compared 120 vs 140, but most guidelines recommend below 130 🤔 #askrenal www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Just discovered nephronpower (I know I'm late to the party..) what a resource 🙌 hat tip to @kdjhaveri.bsky.social

Very nice overview of the current state of affairs in cardiogenic shock (published this week in @TheLancet):

Further sprinting towards intensive blood pressure lowering in TD2 👍🏻 Guess what the kidney outcomes look like… #BROAD RCT presented at #AHA24 and in NEJM 👇 www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

What happens if you change from NaCl 0.9% to Dextrose G5% solution as universal drug solvent on icu? Less hypernatriemia! So proud that this is out! academic.oup.com/ckj/advance-...

To celebrate the growing #medsky / #nephsky community, I will post one silly med/kidney cartoon every day for one month! d4: prerenal AKI

Hi #Xtwitter #NephTwitter #SkyTwitter Many in the #Nephrology community are migrating to #BlueSky Looks enticing, big names are on their way, @kireports will expand our footprint too! Here is a little starter-pack to get started, thanks #NephJC twitter.com/NephJC/s...
