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

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 🫘

Are you a trainee Interested in neonatal nephrology but don’t know where to start? Sign up for this structured internship!

Apply by visiting the NKC website and filling out an application. If you have any questions about the internship or want to see if it would be a good fit, please contact the Education committee co-chairs: Marissa DeFreitas ([email protected]) or Heidi Steflik ([email protected]).

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

I am happy to announce my appointment as @kidneyfund.bsky.social first Chief Medical Officer! I look forward to lending my clinical expertise to help AKF better serve the 1 in 7 Americans living with kidney disease & joining an organization that fights kidney disease on all fronts.

Today marks my last day as President @asnkidney.bsky.social. It’s been an amazing yr thx to the dedication of ASN leaders, volunteers and staff. Congrats to my friend, 2025 President, Dr Prabir Roy-Chaudhury, who I know will lead ASN and the broader kidney community to new heights!

Hey #MedSky I'm writing a long-form piece on how bad prior authorization has become, and how burdensome it is on patients and docs. Can you share: —A story (without PHI) —The amount of time/$$ you spend —The most ridiculous thing you've had to argue for —etc (And please share this post)

Let us start 2025 in a positive mood: here are 10 methods things researchers can worry *less* about in 2025

📟 Consulted a few times last week for, “Is this an RTA?” and my knee-jerk answer is “No”. 📖 The truth is that RTAs are rare though we talk about them a lot in med school. So here are some causes of a non-gap acidosis that are more common than an RTA. A 🧵 #nephsky #emimcc #icusky

Pediatric nephrology is such an amazing field in which you learn super cool physiology and provide comprehensive care to awesome kids and their families. Match data is disheartening. Lots happening to address the workforce issues. We will need support from admin and beyond. 🫘🧂💦
