Very cool paper from Hamburg! Urinary CD4+ T cells identify Sjögren's patients with nephritis and help monitor treatment response! Awesome work!

Description of a prescription cascade, when an initial prescription for pregabalin or amlodipine causes leg oedema leading to addition of furosemide which causes urinary incontinence. This leads to a RX for Solifenacin which causes cognitive decline and a prescription for Don Pascale. The subsequent anorexia and an insomnia leads to mirtazapine prescription and a hip fracture from a fall. This of course leads to many other cascades, including delirium, haloperidol and levodopa, risedronate, and pantoprazole, or iron and constipation with peg.

This is a work of art

Have to agree that amlodipine and gabapentin/pregabalin often lead to heart failure misdiagnosis

Wow! Excellent Flow Chart… could also end with „never again get‘s back to normal“!

With great collaborators from Charité Berlin, the university hospitals in Münster, Essen, and Hannover, Evangelisches Klinikum Bethel Bielefeld, and St. Joseph Hospital Berlin – such a pleasure working with such a great team!

We’ve just initiated the final center change in our stepped-wedge Sweet-Water trial! Aiming to include approximately 4,500 patients by the end of the year — we’re extremely curious to see what we’ll find out. Should Glucose 5% be the universal drug solvent? #nephsky #nephrology #IntensiveCare

It was a pleasure organizing our 5th course on Intensive Care Nephrology together with Nicole Bethke, Martin Kuhlmann and the Akademie Niere. Inspiring lectures and an outstanding group of participants! #nephsky #nephrology

Fortbildung „Nephrologische Intensivtherapie“ der Akademie Niere vom 13.–16.10.2025 in Berlin.
Modul 1: konservative Intensivmedizin
Modul 2: Nierenersatzverfahren
Beide Module auch einzeln buchbar. Es sind noch Plätze frei! Infos & Anmeldung👉 www.akademie-niere.de

Honored and grateful for this recognition of our work on immune monitoring and the urine microbiome in kidney transplantation – a great team effort! @penghard.bsky.social @janklocke.bsky.social & Andrey Kruglov

The sodium burden in ICU patients is off the charts! In an effort to bring about change, we’ve designed the Sweet-Water Trial — so excited that it’s up and running! #Nephrology #IntensiveCare #MedSky

Could we have more #ccr25 content on Bluesky please?

While I still have access to the other place, it’s not much fun seeing random X crap in between thoughtful takes about the utility of NFL

If you still have questions, come say hi after the session!

…sometimes it feels like such a privilege working here! #Charité

Europe - still my favorite place on Earth:)

impressive! I have so far only seen this in a mouse model collegues had worked with

…looking forward to exiting Nephrology talks from Mayo Clinic and Charité at our first joint symposium! #nephsky #charite

…this is such a cool paper by my favourite immunologists from DRFZ and Charité Berlin!

I am sure the NIH is/was the most important funder worldwide; nevertheless, these numbers seem odd - the European Union spent more than 388 million in 2022 on biomedical research!

Stacked area chart showing the cumulative number of preprints indexed by Europe PMC from 2020 to 2025. The x-axis represents the years, while the y-axis represents the cumulative number of preprints, reaching over 900,000 by 2025. Different colours represent various preprint servers, including Research Square (largest share), bioRxiv, Preprints.org, medRxiv, PsyArXiv, Authorea Preprints, SSRN, and Others. The chart highlights the steady growth of preprint publications over time.

Looking for the latest preprints in the #LifeSciences ?

Europe PMC indexes content from 24 #preprint servers, including bioRxiv, Research Square, medRxiv and more!!

This works in case pubmed stays down… and it looks like a cool alternative anyway! #nephsky #science

europepmc.org

also has not been working for me for the last 12h… scary thing, also that it suddenly seems so possible that it might have been shut down

In addition to reporting a biomarker, our protocol provides a foundation for deeper analysis of urinary TECs. Together with Leonie Wagner, @ninagoerlich.bsky.social, @janklocke.bsky.social, and many others!

Flow-cytometric quantification of urine kidney epithelial cells specifically reflects tubular damage in acute kidney diseases Despite tubular injury being one of the main mechanisms driving acute kidney injury (AKI), clinicians still have a limited diagnostic repertoire to precisely monitor damage to tubular epithelial cells...

Happy to announce that this is out! A flow cytometry-based quantification of urinary kidney tubular epithelial cells (TECs) as a biomarker for kidney damage in AKI and ANCA vasculitis.

Same thoughts here, but I am torn. I assume (hope) that most nephrology colleagues are not fans of the current U.S. administration. However, by boycotting KW, would we be weakening those whom we ought to support? And which congresses could we attend instead? Certainly not ERA-EDTA in Austria...

CDC Data Are Disappearing The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

…very disturbing, data seems to be disappearing from the CDC websites

…pubmed still works in Europe

OMG! Any details from the collegues in the US? Fingers crossed that the NIH funding will be continued very soon! NIH has made a huge difference for nephrology and medicine and is so important for our field! #NephSky
