#RPA26 Words of wisdom 🤔 from the ATL

I *KNEW* this would happen sooner than later and of course Richard DiMarchi is involved. Who needs GLP1 when you can just use GIP and Glucagon? And guess what? It works in mice and monkeys essentially as well as Retatrutide with less side effects because there's no GLP1 agonism involved!

Packed house for Billing and coding at #RPA26 (check out the RPA26 Space on ROON for more). Should billing and coding be required education for all nephrology fellows? #NephSky

1/ Hey #NephSky! 👋 We’re back with a fresh #Skytorial by @nephromommy-akshu.bsky.social We spend half our lives worrying about how bad creatinine is.. then keep using it anyway. What if we could measure bedside GFR - no serial blood samples? Let’s talk transdermal GFR (tGFR). @theisn.org

RPA isn’t like other nephrology conferences. Happening this week in Atlanta GA April 16-19, let’s get down to business. Come learn more at RPA26 Space with me, @garysinger.bsky.social @annagaddy.bsky.social #NephSky

I’m sorry #NephMadness, but having C3GN treatment in the final is…silly. How many C3GN patients does the average nephrologist see in a year?! #NephSky #BlueRibbonFail
