Conflicts on interest in healthcare continue to adversely impact what we do. The coverage of lecanemab and NICE decision - look for undisclosed interests…. | Margaret McCartney | The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This Q arose at @ERAkidney Congress Hands-On haemodialysis line insertion course Milan 23 @KateIsabelle24. So @UofGlasgow med student took on as project and we conclude that no need routinely to image tunneled HD catheters for thrombus before removal doi.org/10.1177/112972…

@ShaunLintern Reduce NICE/SMC cost-effectiveness threshold for approving new drugs/technologies. It’s an arbitrary number and I bet pharma would reduce their prices in response

Wes Streeting calls you and asks for *tangible* ideas he can implement to help NHS improve performance. But there's no extra money for big spending. What's your one idea? #FantasyNHS I'll start - staff passports across regions to free up pointless mandatory training time.

Useful information about membranous nephropathy recurrence in transplant in the modern era. Cumulative risk 31% at 10 years. Measuring anti-PLA2r Ab pretransplant, and ritux for recurrence seem sensible. amjtransplant.org/article/S1600-…

@NephJC No Data just do not support sick day rules They are fashionable nonsense See ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… And pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36046613/ #NephJC

Systematic review of RCTs of blood pressure lowering agents in people with kidney transplants. Evidence that no drug class has a distinct advantage with respect to long-term outcomes. But evidence quality low. journals.lww.com/jhypertension/…

This is my dad ❤️ in 2003 he donated his kidney to me in a very high risk & sadly unsuccessful transplant (his kidney was perfect but my body hates them 🙄). About to turn 80 he still puts me through my paces skiing - total legend! #livingorgandonationawareness #livingorgandonor

@eric_weinhandl @hswapnil @edgarvlermamd @DOPPStudy @NEJM The H4RT trial will provide more clarity. Large multicentre RCT and has competed recruitment @fjcaskey

@edgarvlermamd @hswapnil @DOPPStudy @NEJM Why did the mortality rates in Australia and Japan never budge as HDF use surged upward? No one ever offers a hypothesis.

Interesting thoughts from the updated data (beyond academic.oup.com/ndt/article/33…) - still shows no outcome difference between HDF and HD in @DOPPStudy #ISNWCN
