Global gaps in diagnosing kidney disease revealed A recent study has identified that kidney specialists around the world have significantly different approaches on when they feel a kidney biopsy is needed to diagnose their patients.

When is a #biopsy needed to diagnose a #kidney disease? This is handled very differently by nephrologists around the world, a new study led by @michael-toal.bsky.social from @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social finds. This could result in adverse patient outcomes, the researchers warn. #Nephrology

Thanks, also looking forward to joining the nephrology team in Ottawa in the summer!
