Medical education: We can’t figure out why we don’t have a diverse representation of socioeconomic backgrounds in Medicine.
Also medical education: Pay $5,000 for this exam and then fly to Ottawa to write it. 🙈

The unsung heroes of organ donation are the families of the donors
Their grief is suspended and sustained at their loved ones’ end of life to facilitate organ donation
We Thank you

@sumedha_arya We play this multiple times a day hahahaha

@MattLanktree @askrenal I would biopsy. Could be a burnt out GN or helpful pathology that also provides insight into genetic testing if performed.
English
36F eGFR of 30 (many times over last year), but bland U/A, neg family history, no proteinuria, no structural or electrolyte abnormalities. Normotensive. Average size. DDx? Would you do genetic testing? @askrenal

This is why I am so thankful to be practicing in Canada again. I used to spend hours each week on hold to complete these. Prior authorizations are designed to deny patients access to care for the sake of the insurance company.

Some NYC charm for your Saturday morning.

7 years ago today I took a huge leap and left Vancouver for training. So grateful for the opportunity to learn from the best @uoftmedicine @UofTNephrology and @ColumbiaKidney @CUIMCGlomCenter. Next up, heading home for a Transplant Fellowship @UBCNephrology.

@SayaliBThakare @NephJC That is a really important perspective to share. I am priviledged to live in a location with low rates of endemic TB where I do not frequently see infectious complications of immunosuppression.
English
@emhendren @NephJC Appreciate the view. Something that weighs heavily upon the mind while deciding to use IS or not. #nephjc But the risk of infections, especially tuberculosis, is too real in our settings to ignore any measure of concern regarding the same.

T3e If steroids confer a delay in need for dialysis or transplant, this shouldn’t be ignored. The big question is, is this delay worth the potential side effects? #NephJC
English
I believe this too, when we neglect to treat the root cause of the proteinuria for a high risk IgAN patient, we are missing an opportunity to slow down their trajectory. #nephjc

@Jwaitz @NephJC As great as SGLT2 drugs may be (I don't know, I can't use them in my patients yet), they still only slow progression and aren't a cure. We need to be careful that we don't sit back and depend on these alone. We need the immune suppressing treatments for an immune disease. #NephJC

1/ 14 years old boy👦 presents with generalized purpuric lesions & GI bleeding. Nephrology was consulted for gross hematuria, 2gr/day proteinuria & normal GFR

T3g So… methylprednisolone conferred a short-medium term benefit and but was associated with SAE. What other treatment options do we have? Is there anything in the pipeline to be excited about? #NephJC
English
@NephJC We are definitely using SGLT2i in IgAN @CUIMCGlomCenter, it is especially helpful for pts with chronicity on biopsy (S/T) along with RAASi/Thiazide+/-MRA. Also hi #Nephjc, from NYC - joining late. 👋
English
T3c Can we apply this to IgAN? Of the >4000 involved in DAPA-CKD trial, 270 had IgAN with similar results related to primary composite outcome. Do you use SGLT2i in your IgAN cohort? #NephJC
English
@NephroGuy @galindozip Typically I would biopsy if GFR reduced, Ptnuria > 1g/day or if prolonged proteinuria following resolution of the rash. High crescent burden (> 10% cres) indicative of less good prognosis.

@Beck_Lauren_A @UofTFamilyMed Congratulations Lauren!

I’m so happy that I will be continuing my education at @UofTFamilyMed!!
This is a dream come true - I can’t wait to begin my career in family med while being surrounded by my loved ones in the city I call home. So grateful for all the support I’ve gotten along the way!!

@NishilaMehta @UofT_DoM Yay!!!!! Congratulations!!!
