Kidney transplant-related organ acquisition cost payments amounted to 4% of Medicare ESRD expenditure ($100k per transplant). Waitlist size and comorbidities contribute to this increase; expanding the waitlist will likely increase costs and liability. ja.ma/3KuTZpK

Congratulations to the recipients of our Young Innovator Award! #CEoT2020
Question for everybody: Has anyone done tried the Manfredini (jasn.asnjournals.org/content… …) approach to home exercise (metronym-paced walking)? I've been using whatever free metronym apps I can find.
73% of patients on dialysis desire a home exercise regimen. How do we make it happen???

Always an honor to work with and learn from my talented and dedicated colleagues @KristaLentine @@FarrukhKoraishy @StanfordNeph
Honored to join @CunningBeans, @FarrukhKoraishy, Drs. Tan & Myers in describing ‘Implications of #Frailty for #Peritransplant #Outcomes’. While highly relevant to outcomes, more work is needed to #tailor mgmt. to unique needs of frail patients. @AST_info @ASNKidney @SLUHospital

for all who write/read grants&papers, for all those that consume quantitative data, this appears to be a great resource. These tools are sophisticated and with 'big data' visualization needs, i begin to wonder whether a picture is worth only a 1000 words..sells pictures short

My favorite: Pharmacist-led interventions in barber shops improve blood pressure control in African-Americans. Let's station them everywhere, shall we?

Congrats to @StanfordNeph @StanfordMed superstar Tammy Sirich on getting NIH R01 trial funded to study 2X weekly HD on QOL in pts with residual function! – at Cupertino, CA
What should we do with a patient about to undergo liver transplant with marginal kidney function? Some insight into different transplant strategies. @StanfordNeph @gchertow xitter.cf/TransplantJrnl/status/…
Comparing Simultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplant Strategies: A Modified Cost-Effectiveness Analysis. bit.ly/2HOzVSE @CunningBeans @StanfordNeph #VisualAbstract
Compared to receiving care in the private sector (via Medicare), vets with advanced CKD receiving VA care are less likely to be treated with dialysis and yet have the same mortality. What are we gaining, then, by dialyzing old pts with CKD aggressively? xitter.cf/taraichang/status/9834…

Super excited by our study in @plosmedicine on the cost-effectiveness of multi-disciplinary care in #CKD! We found that even under pessimistic scenarios, a program would be cost-effective, epsecially in high-risk patients with high-levels of albuminuria. @StanfordNeph @gchertow xitter.cf/PLOSMedicine/status/97…
Using a modeling approach, @eugelin06 & coll. examine the cost-effectiveness of multi-disciplinary care in mild to moderate #CKD in the US.

Today, we commemorate my father’s 89th birthday. Beyond sharing #MLK quotes, I pray that our global community, from educators to politicians to artists to law enforcement, will truly hear his voice, follow his teachings and demonstrate his love for humanity. #MLKDay #MLK50Forward
