Exciting @EastbioDTP PhD opportunity in my lab investigating corticosteroid-regulated Na+ transport in human distal nephron bit.ly/3TVQXjq. Co-supervisors are the excellent @renalrob at @EdinUniCVS & @Elshani2010 at @CMED_StA. Closing date is December 5th. Please share!

Was great fun writing this with @edinburgh_renal and Bean (not on Twitter). I learnt a lot; have summarised a few learning points that may be helpful for clinical practice in a blog post: kidneyfish.net/post/salt-pea….

Finally a bit of good news for NHS workers theguardian.com/science/2021…

Study links too much free time to lower sense of wellbeing

Research shows there is a ‘sweet spot’ and subjective wellbeing drops off after about five hours

Updated NICE Guidelines on managing CKD are just out - some people might think they’re 100% dull but actually there’s some fascinating updates if you have 1 min & 45 seconds spare to read a summary thread👇 nice.org.uk/guidance/ng203

Longer follow up and more granularity in outcomes but similar findings to @renalrob paper: #nephrotic needs more outcome studies pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3361…

A National Registry Study of Patient and Renal Survival in Adult Nephrotic Syndrome - PubMed

Adults with NS have high rates of death and ESKD. Cardiovascular causes account for excess mortality in primary NS.

Very reassuring long-term data from RCT of early steroid avoidance in low immunological risk kidney transplant recipients on Tac and mmf. Good example of linking a RCT to registry to get long-term outcomes. @UKRenalRegistry @paulphel @marcclancy1 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3353…

Early Corticosteroid Cessation vs Long-term Corticosteroid Therapy in Kidney Transplant Recipients:...

Long-term corticosteroids may not be necessary as part of a calcineurin-based multiple drug immunosuppressive regimen in low- to moderate-immune risk kidney transplant recipients.

Our new paper in @JAMAInternalMed: is IV contrast nephrotoxic? Lots of studies say no, but have ⬆️risk of confounding: people who get contrast ≠ people who don't get it. We used a natural experiment to try to overcome this bias jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… 1/5

Association of Intravenous Radiocontrast With Kidney Function

This quasi-experimental cohort study examines the association of intravenous radiocontrast exposure with kidney injury in patients undergoing D-dimer testing.

It is highly likely there will be further lockdowns in years to come. Getting the public messaging right is essential to ensure urgent medical care is saught by those who need it. @renalrob @HighSTEACS @ahsanakram @Thecoulls297 @whitworthce emj.bmj.com/content/early/20…

New work from our team with relevance for kidney disease: Increased risk of death associated with reduced eGFR/dialysis is similar for deaths from COVID and other causes: so COVID is simply an amplifier of underlying risk. Organ transplant shows more +ve association with COVID
Krishnan Bhaskaran@krishnan_lshtm26 Jan 2021
NEW @OpenSAFELY analysis (PREPRINT - NOT PEER REVIEWED) We carried out parallel analyses of COVID-19 deaths and non-COVID deaths, to answer the question: to what extent is a person's risk of dying from COVID-19 governed by their broader risk of death? medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Factors associated with deaths due to COVID-19 versus other causes: population-based cohort...

Background Mortality from COVID-19 shows a strong relationship with age and pre-existing medical conditions, as does mortality from other causes. However it is unclear how specific factors are...
