Maybe a call to action for Nephs to actually care about anemia in pre-ESRD patients. We don’t do a great job of anemia monitoring and iron status improvement. #nephjc

It’s a reasonable question to ask, and then educate on cleanliness routine needs. Most men aren’t going to bring it up first

Joining #NephJc to hear thoughts on potassium. Usually Neph Calvary is brought in to lower potassium. What is the right value ?

Yes. If symptomatic, the science loses to practicality. All other care teams involved with the patient would demand it. And it would seem reasonable #NephJC

Neph Fellowship: I hope everyone had a good match today and is excited about their new Fellows. Baylor University Medical Center matched all our positions. We are very excited to continue to fill our program with great Fellows.

We likely will have to treat IgA patients differently based on their disease timeline. New, flaring patients need upstream treatment, chronic patients that have damage that can’t be unfibrosed need a different therapy plan. There are plenty of patients for all our therapy options. #nephjc

Yes let’s try this new class, give patients a chance to have better outcomes. It won’t work for all, but Nephs need to embrace new therapies if the data matches. #nephjc

I love seeing the Gd IgA going down. Makes me at least feel that we are getting to the root of the problem. Upstream where it counts! #nephjc

Hopefully very very few people are on this for their hypertension treatment. Alpha blocker data is pathetic and comes from the uninspired prescriber. Last resort category. BPH is more likely to

Feel empowered! I have “cured”/remissioned several Membranous GN patients with a positive test and Rituximab immediately. So satisfying and you can trend the antiPLA2r levels to make sure you and the patient are on track. Biomarker 🤝

Let’s help patients on dialysis therapy keep their coverage they need to get quality care they deserve. #opinion @nkf-professionals.bsky.social @dallasnewsopinion.bsky.social

Sadly in ESRD: High Aldo levels and high Phosphorus levels are associated with mortality and CV events. Trying to lower the levels with meds -> no return.

Need more frequent dialysis and better UF. #Nephjc

Agree practical to choose Spiro 25mg. Less hormone blocking. Less hypotension. Makes prescribers less nervous. #nephjc
