The 2025 @kdigo.org IgAN guideline quietly redraws the map: new drugs, new thresholds, and a sense that the era of “supportive care only” is finally over #Nephsky #Medsky ✍️Summary by @thekidneywhisperer.bsky.social and @glomerican.bsky.social www.nephjc.com/news/igan-kd...

As nephrologists, we tend to focus on pathways, labs, and outcome curves. For years, IgAN meant familiar drugs and modest gains. Reading new guidelines through a patient’s story is a reminder of why it matters #nephjc Perspective by @jonathanpollack.bsky.social www.nephjc.com/news/2025/10...

Another tough week calling for more Cassoulet🇫🇷🧑‍🍳 I watched some youtube videos on this dish - one chef said: do not plan activities afterwards. The idea is to eat cassoulet, drink wine and then retreat 🛌💤😴

interesting paper on this eternal bugbear: what antihypertensives to choose in HD patients. my practice is also to move beta blocker in the evenings when patients are already on them, especially when patients had intradialytic hypotension. do other folks do this? academic.oup.com/ckj/article/...

Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick. At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division. The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.
