A group of @babykidney.bsky.social collaborators are working on a list of useful references in neonatal nephrology which have instrumental in improving care of infants. Help us and complete this survey asking for your opinion on the most important articles! redcap.link/NeoSurvey

At the initial visit for evaluation of HTN BP should be measured in both arms to assess for an inter-arm discrepancy. It's in the guidelines, but implementation in busy clinics is is easier said than done. #nephsky #medsky #hypertension www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

The need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is growing among critically ill neonates. Read these Clinical Insights into an extremely preterm infant (25 1/7 weeks) who underwent successful continuous KRT for AKI stage 3. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

BPOzKids #Nephmadness picks. Novel HTN Rx for the win! Closely followed by Obesity in Recipients @cathyquinlan.bsky.social @jonathanmynard.bsky.social @kaulsheena.bsky.social @glenningj.bsky.social

Genetic counselling considerations are such an important part of delivering genomics healthcare. I strongly believe we need to be empowering genetic counsellors to be more integrated in healthcare to scale up genomics. We wrote about this issue recently on @mja.com.au

🌀 It's that time again #NephMadness! These are my picks as a paediatric nephrologist with a career focus on genetics, blood pressure & prevention 💥🧬💉 Some tight matchups this year — but here's why #geneticcounselling got my vote 🧵 1/3

Another #Nephmadness podcast done. Got my step count in while learning more about Minimal Change Disease. Let’s keep the progress in Minimal Change Disease discovery going.

A lot of Nephmadness podcast listening today. #Nephmadness Genetics: “How should we be counseling patients before and after genetic testing, and are we actually getting the training we need to do so?” Happy the genetics revolution in kidney care is here and rapidly evolving.

Future Nephrology leaders, apply today and learn from the best! @nephjc.bsky.social www.nephjc.com/intern-app

They will not protect you. And the people will suffer. From @nytimes.com: “There is a shortage of American doctors working in Dr. Alawieh’s area of specialty, transplant nephrology. Foreign-born physicians play an important role in the field, according to experts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

There is a shortage of American doctors working in Dr. Alawieh’s area of specialty, transplant nephrology. Foreign-born physicians play an important role in the field, according to experts.

This doctor has been working in the US for the past 6 years under an H1-B Visa An assistant professor of medicine in the nephrology department at Brown Medicine. She works with transplant patients! **Deporting dangerous criminals???? Pfffft! www.newsweek.com/medical-doct...

Very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants have significant risk factors for adverse health outcomes. Read this Original Article comparing kidney function between VLBW preterm & term infants at 5–6 years of age. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Are your kidneys OK? This year's #WorldKidneyDay theme highlights the importance of checking in on your kidney health. Our kidneys work hard to make sure our body stays healthy. Remember, early detection is key—take the time to show your kidneys some love today! #AreYourKidneysOK

Are your kidneys OK? 10% of adults have CKD, 3% of kids have high BP, and genetic kidney disease is shockingly common. Early diagnosis + BP management + healthy habits = better outcomes. Think about kidney disease—even in kids. www.worldkidneyday.org/2025-campaign/ #WorldKidneyDay

It's March, 2 days before #WorldKidneyDay, so tonight there is the perfect opportunity to celebrate ( 9 pm Eastern, on 🦋)🌺🌻 #NephJC 🎨Until then, take a look at this beautiful and colorful #visualabstract made by Divya Bajpai www.nephjc.com/news/2025/3/...
