Great work by The George Institute for Global Health PhD fellow Jeffrey Ha - systematically defining the progressive, graded increase in risk of atrial fibrillation as kidney function declines and as albuminuria increases Now out in AJKD: ajkd.org/article/S0272-…

Our systematic review in AJKD - CKD should be regarded as an independent risk factor for new-onset atrial fibrillation. We should consider screening for AF in CKD #cardiorenal @badves Dearbhla Kelly Brendon Neuen Min Jun Vlado Perkovic ajkd.org/article/S0272-…

Thanks so much to the Nephrology Journal Club & Freely Filtered: A NephJC Podcast team for having me on the podcast to discuss the #BESTFluids trial - was an awesome experience. Take a listen as we dissect the trial! #nephjc Joel M. Topf, MD FACP Nayan Arora,MD Sophia Ambruso podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/fre…

Submitted our Renal department's picks for AJKD #NephMadness 2024! #NephGong Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute nominated #preeclampsia diagnosis for the WIN - shining the spotlight on Women's Health & CKD Women In Nephrology

Delighted to receive positive feedback for my webinar 'Chronic Kidney Disease, Diabetes and Cardiovascular disease: make the link' to GPs/PCPs from the Heritage Medical Centres in Nowra. Many thx to @kidneyhealth for hosting me :) #kidneyhealth #chronickidneydisease

Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) has been validated in 🇦🇺 doi.org/10.1111/nep.14…. Here we show application of KFRE as a tool to assist with timely referral of patients from primary to specialist nephrology care. doi.org/10.1111/imj.16… #kidneyhealth Georgina L. Irish The IMJ

HIDDEN no more? 🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️ Up to 1 in 4 patients with kidney failure of uncertain cause actually have a genomically identifiable monogenic aetiology 🤯🤯 So excited to see the KidGen HIDDEN study out in CJASN!

Excited to share our work which systematically defines the long-term cardiovascular safety of a new class of medicine to treat anemia in patients with kidney disease. Now out NEJM Evidence ♥️🩸🫘 The George Institute for Global Health UNSW Medicine & Health

Comprehensive review by Drs. Yeung, Toussaint & Sunil Badve "We do not recommend routine use of vit D supplementation in (...) CKD stages 3–5, although in those with 25(OH)D deficiency there may be some rationale for replacement as benefit may outweigh harm" academic.oup.com/ckj/article/17…

Due to safety concerns with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, there is interest in developing alternative agents to treat anemia in patients with CKD. 🔬 1/3

Very important to measure albuminuria in HTN to assess CVD risk. ACR (albumin/creatinine ratio) is now included in the AHA Prevent risk calculator. Need to get this implemented into EHRs and help risk stratify populations and guide resource allocation professional.heart.org/en/guidelines-…
