The number of adults with chronic kidney disease is growing, according to a new study. The disease was the ninth leading cause of death worldwide in 2023, up from the 27th leading cause in 1990.

Last week we celebrated our graduating fellows! We are so proud of you and cannot wait to see your careers flourish, congratulations! 🎓🥳✨

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46 For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)

A small N of 27 trial of flozins in PKD! Already on Tolvaptan www.kireports.org/article/S246... in @kireports.bsky.social Hard to believe such dramatic results. But building the case for a proper RCT to be finally done!

A study examined whether the use of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate combined with dialysate potassium could reduce the incidence of postdialysis atrial fibrillation and clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias. #potassium #hemodialysis #cardiovascular

Only about 300 to 400 people a year give a kidney to someone they never met. It's an act of generosity so unusual, a neuroscientist studies the people who do this.

What an exciting time! 🐷✨ @nyunephro.bsky.social www.npr.org/sections/sho...
