"To be a Jew is to be an agent of hope in a world serially threatened by despair. Judaism is a sustained struggle against the world that is, in the name of the world that could be, should be, but is not yet." - Jonathan Sacks May we be a light in dark places. #HappyHannukah

After 5700-odd years we still have not standardized Hannukah candle size smh

BREAKING: Seattle Children's Hospital successfully fought this summer to get DOJ's invasive trans care subpoena quashed. The Seattle court partially unsealed the case this week. This was the fourth, previously sealed case mentioned in this recent Law Dork report: www.lawdork.com/p/judges-doj...

this shit is just beyond parody, man

#NephSky as I ask every match day, what is the deal? Endocrinology and Rheumatology (what I would consider the closest comps to nephro) are following almost of their spots while we continue to...not. Do we simply have too many spots?

this is just gutter racism

Prada is all of us right now.

An announcement www.nephjc.com/news/2025/11... #NephJC @kidneyboy.bsky.social and moi hand over the @nephjc.bsky.social reigns to @nephroseeker.medsky.social & @brianrifkin.bsky.social

With ICE in the Triangle, UNC student and faculty groups are joining to demand that our Campus leadership ensure the safety of its students and staff in the face of domestic terrorism! @unc-ch-aaup.bsky.social + TransparUNCy +SUNRISE UNC

We will not report anything without confirmation which we do independently. If you see something, the best place to call is @siembranc.bsky.social’s hotline. Also please follow them.

If you're not at the #KidneyWk plenary this morning, you are missing @robcaliff.bsky.social absolutely putting people on notice about the real issues we face in US healthcare. Great speech.

Among more than 800 000 CKD-PC participants, discordance between cystatin C and creatinine eGFR values was associated with increased risk of death, cardiovascular events, and kidney failure. #KidneyWK @asnkidney.bsky.social ja.ma/4oV4DtU

REMODEL is fantastic demonstration of what we can do with collaborative effort to perform what Kathy Tuttle calls mechanistic clinical trials! Semaglutide provides kidney protection via improvements in inflammation and microvascular function. Lots of data to parse going forward. #KidneyWk

ORIGIN phase 3 trial: In an interim analysis of a clinical trial, atacicept, a fusion protein that binds and inhibits two cytokines thought to be central to the pathophysiology of IgA nephropathy, significantly reduced proteinuria. nej.md/3JEq8QL @asnkidney.bsky.social | #KidneyWk

Is watching Independence Day while I eat take out in my room for preparation for #KidneyWk? Hell yes it is! Tomorrow, let us celebrate our Independence Day...from kidney diseases!

It's been real #ObesityWeek! Thanks for letting some nephrons share your space. Off to HOU for the start of #KidneyWk on my CKM tour!

Ummmm…

How do you all think ASN kidney week international attendance will be like this year? Just got an email about one of the collaborative groups. I work with having half as many as expected coming… #Tariffslawlessnessandsuch @hswapnil.medsky.social

The opening plenary at #KidneyWk looks phenomenal Renal RCT Renaissance is upon us (LBCT list drops tomorrow) www.asn-online.org/education/ki...

Okay, I have been absentee for a while now but I had to come back for this one just to see what @hswapnil.medsky.social would say! COI: strongly prejudiced against dietary restriction in almost every form #NephJC

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Casey Means, the influencer who did not complete medical training but is nominated for Surgeon General, has been extremely critical of financial conflicts of interest in medicine. But she has made hundreds of thousands shilling supplements like algae & basil seed, and from investments in big tobacco

Apropos of nothing in particular, always good to KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. www.aclusocal.org/en/know-your...

It is impossible to explain to civilians how it feels to finally, FINALLY, land a clearly within-payline NIH grant score and then have it go unfunded because of all this regime bullshit. You all have my sympathies. Unfair doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”

Nice to see new AHA HTN guidelines emphasizing albuminuria detection! "[Urine ACR] (a test that assesses kidney health) is now recommended for all patients with high blood pressure. It was recommended as an optional test in the 2017 guideline." newsroom.heart.org/news/new-hig...

New #Perspective describes key barriers to patients accessing specialized treatments for glomerular disease, including lack of access to specialized nephrology care, delays in diagnosis, and administrative and regulatory challenges. Read more in #ASNJASN: kidney.pub/JASN0819#Perspective

should we screen for CKD in the general population? Finally, flozins, finerenone and GLP1s allow a good cost-effectiveness case www.nephjc.com/news/2025/7/... for #NephJC shorts Time to stop just being dialysis-ologists and flozinate, glipinate! #NephSky

Again, the whole purpose of this madness has, from day 1, been to destroy the US leadership in science, technology, and innovation. This is just one more way to ensure that goal is achieved. “But why?” you might, rightly, ask. To which I say, pick up a history book and you’ll have your answer.

Age can play an important role in how nephrologists treat individuals with glomerular diseases. This #ASNCJASN "How I Treat" article highlights key insights: kidney.pub/CJASN0805#ASNCJASN @kdjhaveri.bsky.social

surgeon: “a good surgeon can cut. a great surgeon knows when not to cut.” *later* surgeon: “my patient needs dialysis” nephrologist: “actually, they just need more diuretics. we don’t have to do dialysis.” surgeon: “i will kill you”

Global prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is approximately 9%, and patients with CKD are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. This JAMA Clinical Guidelines Synopsis summarizes the 2024 KDIGO recommendations for managing CKD in adults. https://ja.ma/4kG8DMA

In 1993, Bill Clinton got a haircut on board Air Force One on a runway at LAX and it was a huge scandal even though it actually caused no delays for other planes.

We want ICE out of our Hospitals.
