10/10 Final #Nephjc thoughts: We love our peds colleagues! There are many challenges to treating GN without biopsies and ongoing uncertainty about the pathophysiology differences of relapsing or steroid dependent disease 😮‍💨 @shinamenon.bsky.social @rheaultm.bsky.social

From Rivka Galchen’s article in @newyorker.com: “The kidney, a tremendously under-celebrated organ, basically does four-dimensional sudoku with ions.” And that’s how I’m going to explain it from now on.

ASN welcomes Professor Charuhas V. Thakar, MD, FASN, as the new Editor-in-Chief of Kidney360. In this role, Dr. Thakar aspires to "disseminate cutting-edge research in diverse areas of nephrology." His term begins January 1, 2026. kidney.pub/4e466Kr #ASNKidney360

Hilarious (and sobering) essay on the use of AI in medical research & manuscript writing Read the whole thing! John Daugirdas has been on the cutting edge of tech in meded before #MedEd was thing onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #MedSky #NephSky

T2e Kidney biopsies are recommended if CNIs have to be continued > 2 yrs in children, to exclude toxicity. Side-effect profiles may drive CNI choice as gingival hyperplasia & hypertrichosis are more prevalent with cyclosporine & glucose intolerance occurs more frequently with TAC. #NephJC

Low risk of tac balanced out by real risk of infection and thrombosis in uncontrolled nephrotic syndrome. People forget that 80-90% of these kids died pre-steroid. #NephJC

I do the same with any agent. Treat for 2 years then try off. If relapse, then another 2 years. #NephJc I don’t think there’s great data. Just seems a good balance of risk.

Congratulations to all of the ASN Midcareer Award Recipients! @shinamenon.bsky.social @genetickidneydoc.bsky.social

Just over a week until I’ll be biking 545+ miles from SF to LA! Got to check out our team’s support vehicle for AIDS/Lifecycle and meet some more of our team members I hadn’t met yet! I guess I’m the de facto team physician? There’s still time to donate: bit.ly/ALC-Ken

Honored to present with @stanggirdwood.bsky.social on optimizing drug dosing on CRRT at the first annual KidneyBee 🐝 meeting today! Inspiring to see a group of nurses and NPs all passionate about critical care nephrology 🫘

Excited to share our article today published in JAMA Pediatrics. Using target trial emulation methods, we found no difference between cyclophosphamide vs calcineurin inhibitors for preventing childhood nephrotic syndrome relapses. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Yet calcineurin inhibitor treatment was associated with more hospitalizations and IV albumin use, likely related to its nephrotoxic effects. Medication costs, local access, treatment duration, and side effect profiles should be considered when deciding between steroid-sparing meds in childhood NS
