Excellent summary, can’t wait to be part of the discussion tomorrow

Good stuff. Maybe we should start offering vegetative EM in all our biopsy cases ;)

I’ve seen this often. Part of it is a lack of communication between nephrology, IR and pathology.

Understanding the specific scenarios is very important: ie. critical retrieval of medulla if BKN is suspected, sampling of perirenal soft tissue if IgG4 is susp. etc

Doing the same. I hope this is zen enough

Hot take #NephSky if you order a renal biopsy and are not willing or available to talk to the renal pathologist, why have you ordered this test?

The power of the renal biopsy is an exercise in clinico-pathologic correlation, it doesn’t work as other lab tests.

Unfortunately, the offer for fellowships is already a very small number, and the application pool is already smaller. I’m not aware of official data though, that’s why I was curious about your statement

Which renal path statistics are you referring to?

Love this one

Seeing a lot of the new people on Bluesky with a tag “invalid handle”. See the screenshot for how to get rid of that tag (from 2023, but likely the same issue.)

Also, consider putting a real picture and a bio if you’re using this for professional networking. I am hesitant to add acct otherwise

So far the user experience of Bluesky is the most similar to former Twitter. Much better than Threads.

Award to the best bio goes to @kidneyboy.bsky.social

I’m keeping an eye for my fellow pathologists, some of us are here already: @jzrenlapath.bsky.social @changucanspare.bsky.social
