Colleagues: can we please stop overstating the risk of
1. postop NSAIDs
2. Contrast nephropathy
3. Nephrotenic systemic fibrosis.
Toradol, CT contrast and gadolinium can all be used in patients with CKD.

🚺, with 3 children of her own, comes forward to donate a kidney to her friend’s child. Child gets kidney from someone else. She still donates her kidney … anonymously … to a stranger. The altruism in some is just awesome #BeADonor @UHNTransplant @TrilliumGift

Significant disparities in access to preemptive repeat kidney transplant persist despite patients with a prior transplant having more exposure and existing knowledge of the transplant process.
Marginalized populations are less likely to undergo their first transplant pre-emptively. This study shows that patients with lower education, reduced employment status, black race and male sex are less likely to receive PKre-T bit.ly/KID0003162021

Very proud of our "new guy"

Honored to contribute to the NEW 2021 CKD-EPI #race-free #eGFR equation in our latest research published in @NEJM today. I learned a ton about equations. Importantly, the main lesson is that #race should NOT be incorporated into #biological tools. bit.ly/3i3nfrY
NEW Research—Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sunitinib in patients with previously untreated metastatic #renalcellcarcinoma (IMmotion151): a multicentre, open-label, phase 3, randomised controlled trial hubs.ly/H0hQjTK0
Shocking statistics! Stapler mis-fires are an ever-present fear of any #mis surgeon.
But will this fix the issues with Premarket Notification (new devices approved based on similarity to previously approved iterations)?

Come see our presentation at 5:10 in 181c to see our novel device for renal cooling during transplantation. @_TomSkinner @kidneyskinn

Dust or Bust ? Nice graphical demonstration of the issue with stone size and the significant increase in volume and therefore fragments @peepeeDoctor #AUA19
Will the #kidneyskinn prototype make it through airport security on the way to #aua19 🤔@Witherspoon_uro @AliMDergham
Last minute prep for #AUA19. Going to miss the #residentsbowl. Good luck to @_kmcalpine and the rest of the #northeasternsection. (When in doubt the answer is always ‘C’)

You are 5X MORE LIKELY to need a transplant than to ever become an organ donor. More donors = more lives saved. We encourage all Ontarians, including those who previously signed donor cards to register as organ and tissue donors at BeADonor.ca #BeADonorMonth
The future of organ transportation?
Faster, cheaper, safer and greener!

For the first time ever, a drone delivered a human organ for transplant.
The doctor who performed the kidney transplant surgery explains to @MartinSavidge why it’s such a big deal.
Proud to be joining this progressive province! #giftoflife #organdonor
