#Perspective discusses how Hurricane Helene disrupted Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) solution manufacturing, highlighting the impact of climate change on healthcare delivery. As extreme weather events intensify, coordinated policy and industry action is necessary. bit.ly/KID0822 #ASNKidney360

- What did Hurricane Helene expose? - How can we do better in the future? 🌀 All that and more discussed by @NephroShah and I in this piece. Thank you @asnpublications 🙏🏼

🚨🔔 Fantastic morning here at the @AnnuaDialysis in the @ispd_nac sessions with great roundtable discussions about assisted #peritoneal dialysis: candidates, policy and outcomes 🥳

🚨 Adjusting for average dextrose concentration, dwell time, fill volume, solute transfer rate, and number of cycles, we observed a consistent increase in UF volumes achieved per cycle (p < 0.001) Thank you @ASNKidney360 @VUMCKidney 🙏 👇 journals.lww.com/kidney360/abst…

It was truly a pleasure to work with a great team including Annika Spencer, Linda-Marie Lavenburg, and Alison P Sanders. We learned a lot together and appreciate the opportunity to share!

Would you have a treatment that could give you brain injury - or accept it for your elderly parent who may already have some cognitive impairment? If no, why is PD not used more often? @PD_Perls @rajmehrotra1122

#WorldKidneyDay Our society is offering professional help in PD education for professionals in Ukraine and the neighbouring countries who are not familiar with #PeritonealDialysis and are now having to care for PD patients who flee the war. Please reach to us for support (+ RT).

Is creating a virtual home dialysis physician mentorship program feasible? Find out and read more about it in our Research team’s latest publication in @ASNKidney360: ‘The implementation of a virtual home dialysis mentoring program for nephrologists.’ bit.ly/3tj0J3d

Recent xenotransplants - one pig kidney into a braindead human, one pig heart into a living human - have raised excitement about the future of transplant. I share this enthusiasm. However, we must not lose sight of the value of ethics and process. @LVRiella @DrLiver @AST_info

This WaPo article may be a contender for the 2022 "Misdirection in Journalism" award. Headline highlights that the pig heart recipient at Maryland had a criminal history, while diverting attention from the core problems with this transplant ... tinyurl.com/56z3p5yp

The use of paid home hemodialysis helpers to assist patients was extremely useful. Clark MF, 1977. Yes, 1977!

The pandemic killed so many dialysis patients that their total number shrunk for the first time in nearly half a century. Few people took notice. propub.li/3sMX4f0

Many have read the article. I'd like to add a few acknowledgments and side points...

"Sufficient clinical experience has no substitute for learning in medicine." Drs. @nupur_nephron & @HomeHemodialys1 propose a pathway to enhancing home dialysis education during fellowships in this Perspective bit.ly/CJN03110321
