Hello #NephTwitter #Renal #MedTwitter @aspneph radiology webinar for august was Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease (#ARPKD). Let's get started #PedNeph #Transplant

@kidney_boy 1/ I like alchemist's stories, and wherever I go to an art museum, I especially look for related art. David Ryckaert III has 3 known painting on this topic. I saw 1 in Budapest and Vienna (this year). This is familiar, but.... https://t.co/G8fvqP5jVo https://t.co/ASzdFkzgYJ

Wonderful beginning today to a series of classes on Research methodology. Session made super interesting and engaging by Dr Denis Xavier. Review of literature by @nephromythri was excellent. Kudos @WomenNeph_india @SwarnalathaGud2 @divyaa24 @drpriyajohn @nephromythri

🚀Kick starting @WomenNeph_india Clinical research training program with our lead faculty Dr Denis Xavier! Amazing enthusiasm from the participants! Hope to keep the momentum going🚴🚴‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️@ISNkidneycare

We kickstart our inaugural CLINICAL RESEARCH TRAINING FELLOWSHIP with our first in-person session We start with our fist group of 62 fellows Thrilled to learn together on this exciting journey #winindia

@ISNkidneycare @ISNeducation @vjha126 @myadla @Dilushiwijay Key take aways Tackling CKDu needs policydriven prevention: clean water access, reduced agrochemical use, and strict control of industrial metal waste addressing environmental nephrotoxins at the source

@ISNkidneycare @ISNeducation @vjha126 @myadla @Dilushiwijay ICP-MS analysis shows significantly higher serum chromium, strontium, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon & iron in CKDu patients vs controls

@ISNkidneycare @ISNeducation @vjha126 @myadla @Dilushiwijay CKD prevalence in Northeast Thailand: 26.8%, with CKDu at 5.5%. Groundwater use linked to nearly 10× higher CKDu risk — highlighting contamination by cadmium, lead, fluoride & glyphosate.

@ISNkidneycare @ISNeducation @vjha126 @myadla @Dilushiwijay The CKDNET team in Northeast Thailand is leading the fight against CKDu integrating clinical care, basic science, AI innovation, and data registries for kidney disease prevention.

@ISNkidneycare @ISNeducation @vjha126 @myadla @Dilushiwijay CKDu affects workers in farming, mining & other heat-stressed jobs,rates up to 25× higher than in developed nations. ⭐️Even without knowing its cause, reducing heat, toxins & dehydration can help prevent worsening.

@ISNkidneycare @ISNeducation @vjha126 @myadla @Dilushiwijay The silica hypothesis suggests inhaled silica from crop burning may accumulate in kidneys, causing crystalluria and damage — yet lysosomal findings remain nonspecific.

@ISNkidneycare @ISNeducation @vjha126 @myadla @Dilushiwijay Well known fact that CKDu lstems from combined heat stress, dehydration, toxins, and infections — all converging to cause kidney inflammation and tubular injury

@ISNkidneycare @ISNeducation @vjha126 @myadla @Dilushiwijay New study from Northeast Thailand reports CKD prevalence of 26.8%, with 5.5% meeting CKDu criteria — linked to groundwater contamination by cadmium, lead, fluoride & glyphosate.

@ISNkidneycare @ISNeducation @vjha126 @myadla @Dilushiwijay CKDu hotspots are spreading from Mesoamerica to South Asia — a silent epidemic demanding global attention and unified action

Policy options for CKDu ✨Heat safety, safe water, pesticide limits & hotspot screening ✨Each offer promise but come with practical trade-offs in cost, enforcement & causality

Building the future of CKDu research — global cohorts, shared biobanks, cross-disciplinary teams, and a worldwide data observatory

Bridging the Knowledge Gaps in CKDu: From Mechanisms to Biomarkers, Methods, and Omics

@ISNkidneycare @ISNeducation @myadla @Dilushiwijay Dr. Jha's presentation frames the research and policy imperative to solve CKDu

CKDu is an "Extreme Presentation of a Toxin/Heat Stress Associated-CKD." ✨Solving this mysterious kidney disease could lead to breakthroughs for all CKD patients

The kidneys are the black lungs of climate change, threatened by pandemics, microplastics, urbanization, air pollution, lack of clean water, ultra-processed food, heat stress, and toxins.
