As a kidney patient, this is a picture of superheroes to me! They represent hope. Two of my favs are on here Opeyemi Olabisi is a beast in #apol1 research and Amaka Eneanya, MD, MPH is a beast in #egfr research. These 2 things plague our communities. Glenda V. Roberts 😷 Patrick O.

After a busy few days in Orlando for Kidney Week, I’m here in Austin for Gov. Greg Abbott Governor’s Chronic Kidney Task Force. They must think I know something about kidneys.

I am honored to have been able to share my experience with this unfair #eGFR equation. I’m so thankful things are changing, thanks to leading nephrologists like Amaka Eneanya, MD, MPH!
