@eric_weinhandl Shocked ASN was invited to the party (sarcasm). We usually get left out.

@ZachJonesForTX I want more flyovers. Double the jets. Add a helicopter. Add a plane the giant sign behind it. Blimp too.

@edgarvlermamd @NEJM @HeerspinkHiddo @AgarwalRajivMD @brendonneuen @KatherineTuttl8 @VladoPerkovic @ChristophWanne4 @ERAkidney It’s also interesting to see the “ho-hum” reception on Nephtwitter. Are we getting spoiled ?

@eric_weinhandl @GrahamAbra True in terms boldness. But so many patients can’t tolerate spironolactone, or refuse to try lower doses after side effects appear. Gentler finerenone will result in less pronounced data as the molecule hits different targets

@michaelturk6 @michaelturk6 after reading the latest AJKD for May, I think I agree with you. Could do one oral treatment and Rituximab 2x per year

I have a 25 yo M with Minimal Change Disease and egr 100, but UPC 2.9 g. He does not want a complicated regimen and likely will only commit to 1 pill per day. What are you choosing ?

@kidney_boy It’s incredible news for patients! The loss of medical directorships and JV partnerships for nephrology practices will become a real workforce issue as an unintended result. @RPANephrology

@collazor1 Glad to see another option. But 7 tabs is a lot to consume daily. All while on fluid restrictions 😬

Yesterday I asked MS4 graduating medical students at a forum if they thought AI was a tool or threat to healthcare and their careers? Overwhelming these physicians cheered TOOL! 🔨 Interesting to hear the perspective of those with the most at risk but also ready to implement.

@kidney_boy @rmohty @GlassockJ ABIM has so much money to pump into UptoDate for their exams, it will Probably stay afloat. But not source of choice for rounding and learning.
