#NephMadness 2026 Really enjoyed this year’s writeups.. thoughtful and high-yield 👏 There’s a clear shift in nephrology: from broad immunosuppression → more targeted therapies. Still learning the ropes, but this was fun 🙂 Curious to see which direction the panel leans 👀 #NephMadnessNewbie

By far the most fun I’ve ever had talking about cat tongue physics

@nephmadness.bsky.social Our first ever TPMG nephrology #nephmadness2026 party! Had fun and learnt a lot from all the great write ups! IgAN B cell targets is the winner for us all the way!

We had a great “Battle of the UW Neph Sections" for #NephMadness2026 ! The energy was fantastic as our faculty and fellows jumped into spirited discussions to create a UW #Nephrology bracket 🏆🫘🤩 #kidney #nephsky #meded @uwmedicine.bsky.social

Ever heard of the brain-kidney axis? Despite being separated by multiple organs, the kidney and the brain share an intimate bidirectional relationship. Interesting how increased albuminuria could amplify the risk for cognitive impairment. #nephmadness 2026
