Laboratory of Vivek Bhalla, MD- Stanford

Thank you to @rmh199 @StanfordDeptMed for highlighting our work

Many congrats @KatherineTuttl8 !! The @KidneyInCVD council is so honored to have your lifetime achievements and contributions to the CKM space recognized ! @BhallaResearch @AHAScience @ASNKidney #SavingKidneysHeartsandLives @BaimInstitute

@AnastasiaSMihai Get well soon

Today we had role reversal ♥️ Harris took me to hospital for hopefully only overnight stay for laparoscopic procedure. Waiting in admissions & hoping 🙏 8 cm fibroid can be removed & not requiring additional surgery.

@DrWanpen @utswheart @UTSWMedCenter You are an honorary nephrologist Wanpen!

Honor to contribute to the 6th ed of Seldin and Giebisch's The Kidney: Chapter 32 - Physiology and pathophysiology of hypertension with Qi Fu and Scott Smith. Hope to continue the vision of the legendary Dr. Seldin even though I am not a nephrologist @utswheart @UTSWMedCenter

Watching Alexander Zverev compete at Roland-Garros, it is easy to see the athlete. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child, he is competing at the highest level of professional sport. His journey reflects decades of discoveries in insulin therapy, glucose monitoring, and diabetes care. A reminder that biomedical research does not just change numbers in a paper. It changes lives. For millions living with Type 1 diabetes, especially children, that matters. A quiet reminder that the disease may be part of your life, but it does not have to limit your dreams.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is one of the most common complications of PKD. When hypertension is left untreated, it can further damage the kidneys and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Learn more about managing this symptom of PKD: pkdcure.org/about-the-dise…

@PKDFoundation Congrats @PKDSteve

Congratulations to Dr. Stefan Somlo on his well-deserved election into the National Academy of Sciences! Dr. Somlo is the first PKD researcher to receive this prestigious honor and recognition for his contributions to the field. nasonline.org/news/2026-nas-…

@spjuraschek @rmohty Another example of the association out this week

@spjuraschek @rmohty Agree that isolating the subclinical group would be useful too

I'm seeing more spironolactone monotherapy for medical management of non-lateralizing PA. Any evidence for this practice? I confess my conservative thinking is to adhere to evidence-based practice with some firstline agents for BP management (vs maxing out spiro alone). Thoughts?

@rmohty @spjuraschek Part of why we do Aldo/renin profiling in all patients with HTN..not just screening for PA but screening for subclinical PA too

@spjuraschek @BhallaResearch isn't it because there's higher cardiovascular mortality and events compared to essential hypertension patients despite similar blood pressure control, but excess risk disappears when MRA dosed to unsuppress renin?

@rmohty @spjuraschek Nor about the sufficiency of MRA therapy with respect to raising renin…(that I’m aware of)….quite plausible that someone has done this work but has not made it to guidelines Anecdotally, MRAs work very well for BP control including monotherapy in this population. 3/n

@rmohty @spjuraschek No evidence that targeting this group with MRAs reduces those endpoints. 2/n

Amazing. Remembering Michelle Winn’s work that pointed the way to this moment. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15879175/

This month marks 10 years of JCI Insight! A special shoutout to authors, editors, reviewers, readers, and all those dedicated to biomedical research, ranging from preclinical to clinical studies. This video highlights selected covers through the years. — Music: Bensound; License code: LDOZSSOUYFKAOLR8; Artist: Theatre Of Delays @Eickelberg_MD

@proychaudhuryMD @ASNKidney Thank you for your leadership and happy new year 🎊

Today is my last day as ASN President @ASNKidney. The best part of my year by far was the opportunity to meet so many of you in the kidney community all over the world. Which is why I know that the future of nephrology is in good hands. Thank you for all your help and support.

Please help us bring hope and light into this Holiday Season. One of our @StanfordNeph @StanfordAbdTxp faculty families is working to save their child’s life from a rare genetic condition. Please read, share and support. rarebreak.org
