BPOzKids #Nephmadness picks. Novel HTN Rx for the win! Closely followed by Obesity in Recipients @cathyquinlan.bsky.social @jonathanmynard.bsky.social @kaulsheena.bsky.social @glenningj.bsky.social

🌀 It's that time again #NephMadness! These are my picks as a paediatric nephrologist with a career focus on genetics, blood pressure & prevention 💥🧬💉 Some tight matchups this year — but here's why #geneticcounselling got my vote 🧵 1/3

Another #Nephmadness podcast done. Got my step count in while learning more about Minimal Change Disease. Let’s keep the progress in Minimal Change Disease discovery going.

A lot of Nephmadness podcast listening today. #Nephmadness Genetics: “How should we be counseling patients before and after genetic testing, and are we actually getting the training we need to do so?” Happy the genetics revolution in kidney care is here and rapidly evolving.

Future Nephrology leaders, apply today and learn from the best! @nephjc.bsky.social www.nephjc.com/intern-app

You may not recognize it at first, but life in this country will never be the same if people stop coming from abroad because they are not guaranteed protection under the law. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

They will not protect you. And the people will suffer. From @nytimes.com: “There is a shortage of American doctors working in Dr. Alawieh’s area of specialty, transplant nephrology. Foreign-born physicians play an important role in the field, according to experts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

There is a shortage of American doctors working in Dr. Alawieh’s area of specialty, transplant nephrology. Foreign-born physicians play an important role in the field, according to experts.

This doctor has been working in the US for the past 6 years under an H1-B Visa An assistant professor of medicine in the nephrology department at Brown Medicine. She works with transplant patients! **Deporting dangerous criminals???? Pfffft! www.newsweek.com/medical-doct...

Asymptomatic, mild urinary tract dilatation (UTD) that does not resolve can progress in severity. Read this Original Article on increased kidney length in mild UTD & its prognostic role in non-resolution. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This #WorldKidneyDay 's theme is "Are your kidneys OK? Detect early, protect kidney health.", In this editorial Dave Selewski and I ask the question, how can we best find and screen pediatric populations at risk of CKD? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Your gift to the ASPN Foundation helps to support travel grants for trainees to help recruit and retain pediatric nephrologists! Your gift will be matched by ASPN Foundation Board Member Sharon Lagas up to a total of $2500 during National Kidney Month. aspneph.app.neoncrm.com/forms/alport...

Very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants have significant risk factors for adverse health outcomes. Read this Original Article comparing kidney function between VLBW preterm & term infants at 5–6 years of age. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Are your kidneys OK? This year's #WorldKidneyDay theme highlights the importance of checking in on your kidney health. Our kidneys work hard to make sure our body stays healthy. Remember, early detection is key—take the time to show your kidneys some love today! #AreYourKidneysOK

Are your kidneys OK? 10% of adults have CKD, 3% of kids have high BP, and genetic kidney disease is shockingly common. Early diagnosis + BP management + healthy habits = better outcomes. Think about kidney disease—even in kids. www.worldkidneyday.org/2025-campaign/ #WorldKidneyDay

It's March, 2 days before #WorldKidneyDay, so tonight there is the perfect opportunity to celebrate ( 9 pm Eastern, on 🦋)🌺🌻 #NephJC 🎨Until then, take a look at this beautiful and colorful #visualabstract made by Divya Bajpai www.nephjc.com/news/2025/3/...

Kidney genetic services are being created worldwide, revolutionizing the management of suspected monogenic kidney disease. Read this Educational Review of the global efforts to integrate genomics into nephrology. Open Access. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in children is the most common glomerular disease & is characterized by recurrent relapses. Read this Original Article on the PIN’SNP cohort & research program & the TwiCs design adapted to INS research in France. Open Access. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

💙 Rare Disease Day 2025 💙 Rare kidney diseases may be individually uncommon, but together they affect thousands of children. 🧬Genomics is changing the game—early diagnosis means better care, targeted treatments, and hope. 🧵 1/4 #RareDiseaseDay #Genetics #KidneyHealth #RareButNotAlone

Matko Marlais presenting on RPGN in paediatrics in the glomerular disease update. #IPNA2025

Tammy Brady just gave the most outstanding interactive workshop on blood pressure measurement at #IPNA2025. Things you mightn’t know can increase the blood pressure, crossed legs, watching the phone, TALKING!!

Gaya Raman presenting at the Bladder and Continence Grand Round. Rushing for the 7am start of this session I could certainly benefit from optimising my bladder capacity right now! #IPNA2025

Dr Julien Hogan presents results of RCT in children with FR nephrotic syndrome treated with Rituximab +/- IVIG. Result: Addition of IVIG showed no benefit on relapse free survival. #IPNA2025

Lovely paper. Well done team Oz !

A great evening meeting the phenomenal @kidneyomicsamps.bsky.social & our great Oz colleagues including @cathyquinlan.bsky.social #IPNA2025

1️⃣ Now this is amazing! 🎉 My PhD student Gráinne Butler led a groundbreaking study using Epic EMR data to detect genetic kidney disease before symptoms appeared!

This feels like the perfect week to show the heart some love. 🫀🫶 🫘 #valentinesday #heart #nephroticsyndrome #nephrology #genomics #kidneyomics @kidneyomicsamps.bsky.social
