Nursing Home-based dialysis is growing quickly and now forms a significant part of home hemodialysis. Further research is necessary on hospitalization, mortality, functional status, and return-to-home outcomes specific to each type. kidney.pub/JASN1109

Medtronic pulling out of the endovascular fistula creation market. Wow. This is from the American Society of Diagnostic and Interventional Nephrology. And can't find this information on the medtronic website or with google. That may be a me problem though.

This is interesting. Given you can see extensive replacement of the kidneys in ADPKD with a relatively normal Cr, find it hard to believe that a few medullary cysts are causative of progressive CKD risk but maybe they are a marker of various know/unknown genetic predisposition to progression?

I have heard of uremic seizure but never saw it until recently. There’s always a first.

I'm just shocked that the recommended access for dialysis fails in over a third of patients. It's criminal #nephjc
