Hey #ASPN24 #PAS2024 - come check out our poster (# 26) on central line locking with 4% tetrasodium EDTA in pediatric hemodialysis. We observed an 80% reduction in CLABSI incidence after implementation in our dialysis unit!!

Looking forward to discussing the evaluation and management of severe bladder dysfunction pre and post kidney transplant this morning! @PAS2024 #PASToronto @ArmandoJLorenzo @SickKidsNews

CAKUT are diverse, may be isolated to the kidney or involve other systems, & have variable genotype–phenotype correlations. Read this Review of common causes of monogenic CAKUT & the approach to diagnosing & managing a patient w/suspected monogenic CAKUT. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Great review by @CallemeynJasper and @mnaesens and colleagues. Why do we believe there are 2 dichotomized types of rejection!? kidney-international.org/article/S0085-…

Glad to share our successful QI project in @Ped_Neph. Implementation of a fluid volume management program reduced IDH events from 16.5 to 8.8% in our paediatric #hemodialysis unit. @SickKidsNews

Gordonia spp, aerobic, weakly acid-fast, Gram-positive bacilli, are a rare cause of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Read this Brief Report on the first pediatric case of PD-related peritonitis caused by Gordonia bronchialis. @drvalebruno link.springer.com/article/10.100…

An incredible achievement by the scientific and medical communities. No doubt it will be one of the most significant, if not the most significant medical achievement, I will witness in my lifetime.
