First South West #glomerulonephritis day in Gloucester. Local, national and international faculty, #GlomCon alumni, packed day of education, opportunity to present interesting cases and I’ve even managed to shoehorn in a talk about #SGLT2i for myself. Check out the flier.

24h in Istanbul🇹🇷 for the RAINIER investigator meeting - next #IgAN drug off the block, disease modifying APRIL/BAFF antagonist. Coming thick and fast now…

One-Time and As-Needed Blood Pressure Medication and Adverse Outcomes in VA Hospitals This cohort study evaluates the risk for acute kidney injury and other adverse effects from as-needed and 1-time blood pressure medications in hospitalized veterans.

I remember as an intern getting calls in the night to give unfamiliar patients intravenous hydralazine for their asymptomatic elevated blood pressure.

Decades later, I'd have thought we know this is harmful and nonsensical, but apparently not entirely. #medsky

Good to see @ukkidney.bsky.social making the move!

Julie Refardt, MD, PhD: Current Hyponatremia Clinical Interventions Sufficient Refardt discussed findings from the largest hyponatremia trial ever conducted, including 2174 participants across 9 European centers.

Looking forward to the Refardt paper as seen at #kidneywk - found a lay summary and video here www.hcplive.com/view/refardt... “Targeted hyponatremia correction did not improve 30-day mortality and rehospitalization rates […] a marker of disease severity rather than a cause of worse outcomes.”

This study is going to be the topic of #NephJC ’s first journal club on Bluesky. Next Tuesday 9pm EST.

Feeling weirdly positive as I watch my Twitter followers dwindle… #nephsky
