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

Last minute prep for #AUA19. Going to miss the #residentsbowl. Good luck to Kristen McAlpine and the rest of the #northeasternsection. (When in doubt the answer is always ‘C’)

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)?

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

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.

🚺, 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.

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.
