An enjoyable few days at the First International Congress of Transplantation in #Karachi 🇵🇰. Great exchange of knowledge and making new contacts 👍🏽 Significant work needed to establish a national deceased donor model but lots of ambition, support & enthusiasm with clear understanding of the need.

One week to go until the deadline for the QUOD Innovation Competition. We look forward to receiving applications from early career researchers who would like the chance to win QUOD samples to support their studies. @esottransplant.bsky.social @ndsurgicalsci.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk

Very interesting analyses in showing success in weight loss with GLP-1 RAs is lost with similar regain of weight after cessation despite lifestyle interventions. Important data for kidney patients who are taking GLP-1 RA with CKD/DKD, to lose weight for transplant listing or post-transplantation.

Looking forward to joining IPAT 🇬🇧 colleagues Rhana Zakri and Muhammad Khurram in #Karachi 🇵🇰 for the next few days as part of the international faculty. A great program of talks and workshops organised by Dow University of Health Sciences 👍🏽

What about big data and AI? Thought-provoking and informative session chaired by @adnan-sharif.bsky.social featuring talks by Lynn Morrice and Colin Wilson. #QUODbiobank @nhsbt.bsky.social @ndsurgicalsci.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk

Thank you @quod-biobank.bsky.social team for an excellent day in ☀️ Birmingham. Wonderful to hear of ambitious plans going forward. One thing came through clear - to maximise #QUOD potential we need excellent data for researchers to link biomaterial to robust clinical outcomes.

An excellent summary of the hugely impressive @ukbiobank.bsky.social at the @quod-biobank.bsky.social symposium from Prof Sir Rory Collins 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 A fantastic 🇬🇧 resource for 🌍 research.

An excellent Immunology and Immunotherapy seminar from Prof Alberto Sanchez-Fueyo today at @unibirmingham.bsky.social about liver transplant immunology research. Lots of crossover with kidney transplantation and strong need for collaboration between different organ groups in Birmingham 👍🏽

Amen 🙏🏼 Sensible recommendations from UK Kidney Association Acute Kidney Injury: National Summit report. If patient needs contrast for clinical indication (diagnostic or therapeutic), GIVE THEM CONTRAST! Don’t faff about 😩 #NephSky #MedSky

Wonderful event at UK Parliament yesterday organised by @kidneycareuk.bsky.social & @nhsbt.bsky.social Celebrating organ donation + raising awareness of how important kidney health is + how devastating kidney disease/failure can be ⚡️ Plus lovely catch up with pal/new MP/Tx surgeon Zubir Ahmed 🤗

If you haven't already - please consider signing the ISN petition for the WHO to consider kidney health as a global priority We explain why with link to sign (takes 2 minutes - open to all) www.nephjc.com/news/isn-who...

Technology, AI, regulatory metrics etc. may improve organ utilisation, but we ignore the human component of accepting/declining organ offers. Decision making under risk/uncertainty is flawed! We will launch the ARTIST study in 2025 to study this process for transplant professionals 👊🏼 STAY TUNED!

Just joined #Bluesky and looking forward to following and interacting with #Nephsky and #Medsky discussions 🤗
