Gates Colbert, MD

A great weekend at @RPANephrology conference. Capped it off with the clinical session day. @NephroShah @edgarvlermamd @SWadhwaniMD @NWiegley @SwethaKanduriMD

Today is #WorldKidneyDay! We continue to advance and use the tools to help our patients live a better life.

Instead of a CEO eating a hamburger, I’d like to watch the @southwestair CEO find a $39 flight.

Looking forward to being a voice for our Dallas medical community in 2026. 👨‍⚕️ @DallasCMS @texmed

We are so proud to celebrate our alum, Dr. Gates Colbert, on his installation as the 143rd President of the Dallas County Medical Society. From fellowship at @UTSWNephrology to leading one of the nation’s largest county medical societies. Congratulations, @DoctorGates ! 💙🩺

@UTSWNephrology Thank you to my UTSW mentors and colleagues! I’m a proud Neph alumnus and look forward to the challenges ahead.

Great to see a kidney centric Super Bowl ad. We need more UACR screening. Any positive result is a warning ⚠️. Even my son was interested #SuperBowlLX

46 years on HD 🤯🏆 @DailyHemo 🫡

@DallasCMS First Board meeting of the year. Let’s Go!

Did we (meaning "you" of course, because you voted) get them right? Is there something missing or is the order wrong? #NephJC #TopTenStories2025 Come discuss with an international cadre of nephrologists & other interested parties on 1/6/26 at 9 pm EST only on #Twitter

@eric_weinhandl Gather round the NephJC fire 🔥

Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Only on #Twitter ?!?

Hypertension in Chronic Kidney Disease is complex. We present a short highlight and treatment options for these patients. @AnnaGaddy @edgarvlermamd and Urmila Anandh. Plus a @NephJC VA published! indianjnephrol.org/?view-pdf=1&em…

@AnnaGaddy @KadijahPorterMD Our program interviewed 40 applicants for 2 spots. It’s madness and unsustainable. We filled and would be even more enraging to not fully Match.

@KadijahPorterMD Telling someone outside of medicine about the match process is so validating because the universal response is disbelief.

I have to say… I’m extremely thankful/grateful/excited that I’ll NEVER have to go through another match cycle again. #InterventionalCardiologyMatch2026

@AnnaGaddy Yes the Kidney world does not take mild Anemia (hgb <10) seriously enough. Remember to follow Iron levels in hospital and CKD clinic. It’s not just ESKD problem.

Of interest for all my #NephTwitter people as well! 🩸

Neph Fellowship: I hope everyone had a good match today and are excited about their new Fellows. Baylor University Medical Center matched all our positions. We are very proud to continue to fill our program with great Fellows.

@HecmagsMD 😂😂😂

What in the Sam Hill is “CHFimpEF”?????

@LoriBaker444 @kidney_boy Hey Lori! This is a big step for patients to target their IgA disease. Phase two will be to create the auto injector, but we will take what is available to administer for now. Should be easy to do at home.

@kidney_boy How do you think patients will feel about using a 2mL prefilled syringe (not auto-injector)?

Sibe (Voyxact®) is approved in the US! We finally have an APRIL inhibitor for IgAN! otsuka-us.com/news/otsuka-re…

@kidney_boy Worthy leaders for sure! The OGs I hope will still be as active as ever. Great work!

Succession...#NephJC Style nephjc.com/news/2025/11/2…

Eli Lilly $LLY.N is now worth $1 trillion dollars. Mounjaro and Zepbound driving this enormous valuation. We need these drugs to be more available to our population. This can be done and great profits for the pharma simultaneously. CV event prevention helps us all

PISCES: not wasting anytime on fishing the details out of this #kidneywk @NEJM trial at the @BSWH_BUMC_GME Nephrology JC. Will you add fish oil to your regimen?

Great to be at #kidneywk in Houston! Nice weather and nice to see so many colleagues excited about treating and improving kidney disease
