What's the most upsetting thing you've earned so far this #KidneyWk? For me it's that I've been pronouncing belaTAcept wrong for all these years Can't we all just agree that beLAtacept sounds better and change it? Maybe that'll be my abstract submission for next year

Coming to Denver for #KidneyWk? In addition to being one of the best beer cities in the world, we've got excellent coffee! I would make the walk to Little Owl, Huckleberry Roasters, Kaffe Landskap, Novo, Convivio, Sam's No. 3 (Dazbog is close but not great, basically just Starbucks)

It includes all peds track +anything I could find in adult that might be clinically relevant to peds. LMK if I forgot anything! You can make your agenda and then use that as a reference to quickly plug it into the Kidney Week app, or just export it to your calendar

Heading to #KidneyWk 2026 in Denver next week? kidney.wiki/kw offers an unofficial companion calendar built for pediatric nephrology ASN has an app but it's cumbersome to try and screen all 250+ sessions and 4400+ abstracts, so I made this companion calendar to help make discovery easier for us!

Not Noninferior, a play "Is it worse?" "Well, it's not NOT worse." "Uh huh... because the CI was too wide?" "No we actually had to stop the trial it was so bad. Clear evidence of harm if we continued." "Right...? Sounds worse then?" "Obvious conclusion here is we can't say it was not worse."

All I am asking is that AI labs focus all their energies on solving what is undoubtedly the hardest problem in all of medicine: routine outpatient labs 1) I order labs 2) Patient goes to lab 3) Lab draws what I ordered (all of it, correctly, nothing I didn't order) 4) Lab sends results to me πŸ₯Ί Pls

Turns out he was referring to... *checks notes*... yesterday Might be some sort of Mitch Hedberg reference he's playing at... "I used to be little. I still am, but I used to be, too."

Well it's official, 2 has officially started using the phrase "When I was little" 🫠

Just once in my life I want to see a study author describe their finding with a p value of 0.04 as "a concerning trend toward insignificance"

Hot take: automated BUN/Cr ratio reporting in children causes confusion/concern while providing no additional value and labs should stop reporting it on pediatric results 😀

kidney.wiki/kidney-visualizer I was tired of hastily googling crappy pictures when explaining kidney conditions to families, so I added a 3d kidney model with a dozen different pathologies on it Could come in handy for student/resident education as well as in clinic. Hope you find it useful πŸ™‚
