Let’s talk about something not many people are chatting about and what’s actually happening right now. You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

1/10 Last #NephJC we discussed dialysis frequency in AKI-D #TenPostNephJC We sought to answer an age-old question: Is less is really more? Or less is just simply what it is….less? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41201895/

IN Day 2025 was one for the books! Thank you for celebrating with us and honoring the physicians, staff, and teams who move this specialty forward every day. 🤍🎉 #InterventionalNephrologyDay

A new #NephJC short by @hswapnil.medsky.social Read all about 📰BigPAK. Can a biomarker-guided preventive care strategy reduce moderate or severe AKI after major surgery? This one might raise a few eyebrows 🤨 #NephSky #MedSky www.nephjc.com/news/2025/12/16/bigpak

Don't go to bed yet! SURPASS CVOT data is officially published! I already wrote about it in my blog however there are a couple interesting nuggets in the appendix worth commenting on especially because they may have been confounders! CC: @hswapnil.medsky.social @mikejohansenmd.medsky.social

Is a great day to thank, recognize, and highlight the impact of intervention in kidney care ❤️ #Nephsky #MedSky Happy #InterventionalNephrologyDay #NefroIntervencionMexico 💙 @asdinnews.bsky.social

In this video, Terry Litchfield reflects on how Dr. Beathard's pioneering work transformed dialysis access care and set the foundation for the progress we see today. From innovation to improved patient outcomes, Interventional Nephrologists continue to move dialysis access forward. 💜

Next up: 1/6/26, 9pm EST #NephJC TOP TEN NEPHROLOGY STORIES OF 2025! You voted, we tallied. Let’s discuss! We’re going back to Twitter (yes, it is still called Twitter for those who really care), so pack your bags and join us on the “other place” as we count ‘em down.

T-120 min ⏰ 2 hours until #NephJC Tonight’s topic: Dialysis frequency. For AKI-D (AKI requiring dialysis), should we: 🗓️ Dialyze everyone thrice weekly ? or 🧘‍♂️ Dialyze only when needed? The LIBERATE-D RCT tests this long-standing dogma. Does less dialysis = more recovery? 🤯

It's live, it's 6,000 words and it still feels incomplete but it's done! GLP1 and the kidneys! Glucagon, vasopressin, urea, sodium, macula densa, and so much more. If you like it please share it. The goal of this was to bring together decades of research. The earliest paper I used is from 1958!

Freely Filtered #87: Can Fish Oil Knock the Crap out of Dialysis Associated CV Disease? We tried to find a problem with PISCES and came up with an empty net. Time to get your supplements on for your dialysis patients! www.nephjc.com/freelyfilter...

1/10 Welcome to #TenPostNephJC Last #NephJC we discussed the PISCES study 🐟 on the role of fish oil on cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients. This study was presented at Kidney Week with simultaneous publication, and was as unexpected as a shark attack🦈.

GLP1RAs and peri operative risks www.bjanaesthesia.org/article/S000... And jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... Does the GLP1RA #anesthesia risk need reevaluation? Or an RCT? Or are anecdotal case reports enough? @glbryson.bsky.social

"Starting Jan. 1, in six states selected to take part in a federal pilot program, traditional Medicare recipients will face a new hurdle to get certain procedures covered -- private AI companies that get paid based on how many claims they deny..." www.kuow.org/stories/thou...

Our take on the baxdrostat PA trial in @asnpublications.bsky.social #KidneyNews www.kidneynews.org/view/journal... with @nephroseeker.medsky.social and @dramiliflores.bsky.social ! Thanks to Sam Kant and @kdjhaveri.bsky.social for the invite!!

Today Structure Therapeutics announced phase 2b data for their oral GLP-1 non-peptide drug aleniglipron! It's basically orforglipron's slightly more effective sibling with better weight loss in a shorter time frame. So I did a quick writeup on yet another drug in the GLP1 space! Enjoy!

T3d Benefits may vary, and results in the general population on CV risk and mortality are still controversial. Overall, the results of recent studies have been mixed results. Different study populations, end points and dosing may account for the lack of clarity. #NephJC

There were prior concerns of increased bleeding risk with fish oil but we did not see it in PISCES. In another study called the OPERA study, high doses of fish oil had lower bleeding events compared with control. #NephJC

The authors are working with manufacturers to produce the study formulation just for hemodialysis patients #NephJC

Although, you admired the very beautiful visual abstract made by @brianrifkin.bsky.social, #NephJC team (ha, @nephroseeker.medsky.social ) loved fish oil so much that made another one, right after #KidneyWk simultaneous publication 🎣 www.nephjc.com/news/...

This paper is fascinating and raises important questions about how much the kidney can actually heal/repair itself and that the macula densa, usually thought of as a salt sensor, has a far bigger role than once thought #NephSky @brianrifkin.bsky.social @nephjc.bsky.social @hswapnil.medsky.social

This is not a good recall - some glucose sensor (certain Libre lots) giving too good aka low glucose readings #MedSky #EndoSky www.fda.gov/medical-devi...
