We were lucky to hear from @RaviNayakMD on the power of mentorship and @KristaLentine on the creation of kidney transplant guidelines. We are grateful for their insights and leadership in shaping the future of transplant care! #Transplant #NephTwitter #Mentorship #MedTwitter

🎉 Congratulations to Emma and Anna from our research team for presenting their work at #NKF! 📊 In a cohort of 518 kidney transplant recipients, they found diabetes as the cause of ESRD was associated with significantly higher mortality and cardiovascular events post-transplant.
