Today I witnessed the most selfless, inspiring, gift of life 💝 My colleague & dear friend Aleks just donated a kidney to a complete stranger. I had no idea what to take this incredible human! So I got a plush kidney to keep her remaining one company 💜

5 years ago, I joined @NU_Nephrology tasked with starting a #GN program. @cybeleg1 suggested I start by expanding clinical trials and this ⬇️was my first trial as site PI. Pretty stoked it led to the first ever FDA (accelerated) approval for #IgAN 🙌🏼

@brendonneuen SGLT2i trials enrolled Pts w/much more advanced CKD than IgAN RCTs do. Many of my patients with IgAN have signif. proteinuria but more preserved GFRs & there is really no data (yet) to show SGLT2i have a protective effect that early or are superior.

In 2005, @JAMA_current Deputy Editor Dr. Mary McDermott hired a college grad as a research coordinator. Today before her @NU_IntMed faculty talk I got to surprise & thank her for inspiring my career (and focus on clinical trials)! #myfirstboss #grateful 💜

It really is the year of 2s in 2022!! Extremely happy to see not 1 but 2 GN regions in #NephMadness 🤩 So excited to fill out brackets with @Neph_SIM and @NU_Nephrology !! Any GN friends want to fill out a very “unbiased” bracket together??? 😂

Meds in #lupus at #EULAR2023 recs - HCQ first line therapy. Target dose remains the same. Some discussion on monitoring levels if possible - MAIN CHANGE - Glucocorticoids to be minimized (only use for bridging). Nephrologists more so in favor of steroid free remission @RheumNow

Researchers from @UMich and @NorthwesternU want to learn from those impacted with swelling, or edema, due to Nephrotic Syndrome (NS). The information collected from the interviews will be used to develop a survey to use when testing new medications for NS.

Now this is what alternative #complement pathway dreams are made of 😍 SOO many Qs: 1) what’s the underlying genetic mutation 2) is sMAC elevated 3) is there an associated monoclonal protein 4) does the patient respond to tx—and which is the chosen one?!?!
