Pregnancy after living kidney donation:
- Successful pregnancies: living donors=general population.
- Risk of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia slightly higher.
- The absolute risk is LOW - doesn't need to be a factor not to donate in the majority of patients. @GlomCon
I am proud to support the great work of @NephJC @FreelyFiltered and friends. If you find this awesome medical education content as great as I do please consider supporting them in the 2023 NephJC pledge drive
#NephTwitter @kidney_boy @hswapnil
Hello NephJC community,
This last year has been bumpy. We are seeing the centerpiece of our online community, #NephTwitter, being torn asunder before our eyes and we are left with little agency. We wish we could tell you what is going to happen or what you should do but the social media landscape is changing and #NephTwitter is being tossed around like a toy boat in a maelstorm.
That said, NephJC remains steadfast in our mission to deliver post-publication peer review of the manuscripts driving nephrology forward in multiple formats, across multiple mediums. We remain committed to our almost decade-long FOAMed roots, we continue last year's pledge to not accept support from industry, and we still keep all of the content open and without paywalls.
We continue to push out:
• Twice monthly twitter chats
• Informative summaries of top nephrology research
• Beautiful visual abstracts
• Freely Filtered, the nephrology journal club podcast
• Burton Rose Book Club, Channel Your Enthusiasm
We also are still running the only social media internship in nephrology to train the next generation of medical education content creators to continue our legacy of clear, unbiased explanations of the research and development that are driving nephrology forward.
Every month we are contacted by Pharma asking to support, sponsor, or run ads on NephJC or Freely Filtered. We politely decline each one of these offers because we believe that we cannot accomplish our mission of providing unbiased peer review if we allow ourselves to be conflicted or open the perception of conflict.
This means that we need to turn to you, our users, to support NephJC.
If you read NephJC blogs, if you view, borrow, share, or love the visual abstracts, if you listen to the Filtrates or the Channelers, and want to see this grassroots medical education experiment to continue, please open your wallets and your purses.
The 2023 Pledge Drive began a month ago and we are doing well, but we want to see broader support.
Keep the FOAMed flowing, support NephJC
