Ask Dr Glassock. He helped orchestrate MOC. And still grandfathered in

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 🤝

So many people with HTN don’t even have UAs followed. Proteinuria anyone ? #nephjc

The AHA/ACC 2025 Hypertension Guidelines visual abstract — NephJC New updated guidance on hypertension including screening for secondary causes, use of renal denervation, hypertension and pregnancy, risk assessment, monitoring and treatment. Check out this wonderfu...

Simple and easy. Just need to keep everyone quiet in the room #nephjc

Joining #nephjc to discuss the latest 2025 hypertension guidelines.

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

Need to hit up Poes Tavern in Charleston (Sullivan island) for lunch!

Gates Colbert joining #NephJC. Haven’t read the book yet so looking forward to learning from your cliffnotes. I have seen TB in the ureter and bladder, it can go anywhere!

We had a great @DallasCMS Medical Student Mixer this weekend. Glad to have @texmed President Jay Shah MD join us. @UTSWMedCenter @TAMUmedicine

Also why are ASN not NKF not involved ?

Go low, not No. 😂

So much hidden ckd out there. Luckily most of them should be getting RAASi and SGLT2i even if the prescribers don’t recognize the benefit

Combo pills are back ! We need better pricing in Edarbychlor! Going to be a debate on alcohol intake, lots of wine lovers everywhere.

A highlight of the conference was the session on August 3rd, “Understanding Post-Transplant Surveillance Through Patient Eyes.” This educational session explored transplant monitoring from the patient perspective, featuring insights from renal professionals and patients.

Enjoyed working with @kidneyfund.bsky.social and @nateragenetics to hear the patient voice and perspective on transplant monitoring at WTC. Awesome panel including Daniel with a 9yr going strong pediatric transplant 💪🏻

I remember reading the SDN doom and gloom when I was a Fellow. Except now it’s hard to even hire anybody. I think every single group in DFW is hiring. And we have at least 250 MD Nephs in DFW.

But the struggles are real in getting the $ rewards for the hard work & over and above care we provide.

I’m getting Cr and Cystatin levels regularly in CKD clinic. Especially if I think the Cr is unreliable. Cystatin levels have made a difference in getting some clarity on a diagnosis. #NephJC

Zero.

Nephs have shown that since at least the pandemic (sglt2 era) we are slow turtles. Time to turn those turtles into winning the race. 🏁🏁🏁🔝 #NephJC

Start the race with two. Jump into the third enthusiastically. Tip toe into the 4th. Adding a 5th ET in 2026? Si. Out your non performers. Cross fingers for the months to come for good outcomes and stability. #NephJC

Dallas nephrologist joining #NephJC. enthusiastic user of SGT2I, MRA, and a growing prescriber of GLP 1. Let’s build those pillars of CKD!

I don’t think people are Rx spironolactone either. Just HF Drs and the the HTN believers (👍). All talk, no action on most MRA “hype”. #NephJC

Clinicians and High Profile Nephs love talking about nsMRA, but they arent actually prescribing it. A pillar of CKD that is still being constructed. #NephJC

Checking in tonight for #NephJC. Welcome new Fellows and Interns

Fully agree. I always preach that a foley catheter must be inserted before a quinton catheter. Patients do not need foleys for months and months, but we have to know urine output on a precision basis to provide the best care.

#NephJC was all over this when published. Early adopters keeping watch and good critiques in the summary
