In 2017, I did something dumb. There was a total solar eclipse passing through the US, but I was in NY, far from the path. Was I really gonna get on a plane to see a cool thing for two minutes? Nah. I had shit to do.

The day came. I put my stupid glasses on and saw the sun…

I'm going to go for a late night run. Thanks guys. Great Chat. #NephJC

Do we have MEST scores on the enrolled patients?

A hard part of this disease is there is IgA nephropathy.. and there is IgA NEPHROPATHY!!! 🔥 Flares and badness need different tailored responses, which I think we all are trying to do this already. #NephJC

Nephrology Journal Club I am not a fan of the 1g/day inclusion criteria of many IgAN trials - as UK RADAR registry data indicate the lifetime risk of kidney failure is almost universal and there are many patients with <1g who are at high risk #nephjc

By age 35, every nephrologist should have a patient who they diagnosed with multiple myeloma from a low anion gap, a cut in half dialyzer to demonstrate how these artificial kidneys are just bundles of paper straws, and a kidney biopsy gun for, you know, just in case.

Another great #KidneyCon ! Thanks to Juan Carlos Q Velez and Swetha Kanduri for running the #UrineMicroscopy workshop with me again this year . And special thanks to John Arthur and UAMS Nephrology for hosting this great event! The #Eclipse2024 was pretty cool too 😎

People familiar with the KDIGO CKD guidelines, help me interpret guideline 2.2.1 and 5.1.1. Are they suggesting an additional reason to referral or are they suggesting we stop using CKD g4 and start using a risk model?

It looks to me like they heard our screaming that too…
