Our section is honored to volunteer at @The_BMC Black Family Wellness Day Expo 2025! Shoutout to our nephrologists connecting with the community and raising awareness about kidney health! #KidneyDisease #worldkidneyday @SophieClaudel @waikarss @sternla428

Over 65 passionate ANNA members & @ASNKidney colleagues united yesterday for a day of advocacy training. Today, they take their mission to Capitol Hill, championing the causes of those living w/ kidney disease & tackling critical nursing workforce issues. #NephNurseVoice

Great day on Capitol Hill to advocate for the nephrology nursing workforce, living donor protection act, and the ckd improvement in research and treatment act @ASNAdvocacy @ASNKidney @BUMedicine @bu_bmc_renal @ANNAnurses @BMCimRES

@over_simplified My son is so excited! Your videos made him love history.

Hey everyone, sorry I've been out of action for a year. That's what I get for letting Tom Scott swing me around on an excavator. Anyway, I'll start making the new video now. It's a 3-parter but I should get part 1 and 2 finished today. In the meantime, watch this.

@SophieClaudel @bu_bmc_renal Congratulations, Sophie!! We are so excited!

I had the best time meeting Nephrology role models during fellowship interviews. I am so grateful to be entering a field with such kind and passionate people! Couldn’t be more excited to be continuing my training with the exceptional clinicians and mentors @bu_bmc_renal !!

New plan for increasing applications to nephrology fellowship. Require a 2-year fellowship to be a Hospitalist. #KidneyWk

@kidney_boy Am Yisrael chai. Brought tears to my eyes.

I'm not crying...I just got something in my eye

@JohnRMontford This actually hurts my soul when I hear it.

You know you’re a Nephrologist when the “dehydrated” patient has a serum Na of 140mmol/L and ur like:

@kidney_boy I don’t touch the stuff pre-Seder, but have you had matzah crack (actual name of recipe)? It’s amazing!

My first patient today has diabetes and is having trouble with their blood sugars. We started discussing what they ate for breakfast and they had matzah with peanut butter. Voluntary matzah The day before Pesach Dude, WTF?

@DrDanMO This has happened to me numerous times. It’s very frustrating that the insurance company policies are not keeping up with the medical literature.

Just had a patient get jardiance declined after his prior insurer insisted on it instead of farxiga. The new insurer United Healthcare said I should use metformin instead. He isn't a diabetic.

@bu_bmc_renal @LaurenceHBeckJ1 @NKFNewEngland Congratulations, Larry!!!

Congratulations to @bu_bmc_renal ‘s @LaurenceHBeckJ1 for the recognition from @NKFNewEngland !

@GarySingerMD A number of my dialysis patients have inadequate access to grocery stores and healthy foods (food deserts) and can only eat what is available to them in shelters and through food banks. These are often foods high in K and pre dialysis K runs very high. 1K often needed.

@NephRodby Depends. The default is actual body weight, but if the patient is not meeting goal (more common for those with higher weights who are feeling well and metabolic parameters are on target, will do some version of IBW (somewhere close to the average of IBW/actual body weight).

PD docs when you measure weekly KT/V urea do you use patient's actual body weight or ideal body weight for estimating total body water (V)? (Doing this can raise the KT/V in larger patients and lower it in thinner patients).

@ilori_titi @bu_bmc_renal @waikarss @chanders4 @AshuNephro Congratulations @ilori_titi!
