Before #kidneywk starts: among 76 severe pregnancy-associated TMA referrals, not a single case was classified as confirmed inaugural aHUS
✨Underdiagnosis, overdiagnosis avoided, or a new way of thinking about obstetric TMA?

The focused update of the KDIGO 2027 CKD Guideline is available for public review through November 4, 2026.
KDIGO invites the global kidney community to review the draft and share feedback to help inform and improve the final update.
Visit the KDIGO CKD Guideline website to download the draft and share your comments via the feedback survey:
kdigo.org/guidelines/ckd-eva…
The focused update addresses new evidence since publication of the KDIGO 2024 CKD Guideline on SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1-based therapies, and nsMRAs in people with CKD, excluding those receiving dialysis or who have received a kidney transplant.
Thank you for your time and insights.

🩺 Dialysis Troubleshooting Series | Intradialytic Hypotension
Why does BP drop during hemodialysis?
Is it just excessive ultrafiltration, or is there more to it?
💡 Treat the mechanism, not just the BP!
Clinical question in the comments- Do reply ✌️

Patient outcomes are better with transplant vs dialysis.
Is this always true?
What about high-risk donors (expanded criteria donor-ECD) or recipients (elderly with DM or CVD)?

Kidney biopsy remains essential in nephrology, but bleeding risk can influence decision-making. A newly validated risk calculator may help quantify bleeding risk before biopsy and support more personalized patient care. kidney.pub/KN1809-20 #ASNKidneyNews

Do older, sicker patients benefit from kidney transplantation?
This is a nuanced "it depends" answer that is worthy of discussion. #NephTwitter

🚨This week we are looking at a target trial emulation on transplantation.
Do older pts benefit from kidney transplant?
What if donation is after: CV death or brain death?
What if donor is a standard (SCD) or extended (ECD) criteria donor? #NephTwitter

A really good morning of transplant-focused learning at CMC Vellore @OffCMCVellore today.
We had the BTS team - Dr Sunil Kumar Daga @SunilDaga23 , Dr Adrienne Seitz @aclseitz and Dr Shafi Mallik from Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust @LeedsHospitals with us, with a mix of lectures and interesting case discussions on post-transplant graft thrombosis, Parvovirus B19, BK virus and cidofovir, and the practical challenges of desensitisation.
Grateful to the faculty and everyone who made the session happen.

Breast self-examination (BSE) means using your hands and eyes to check your breasts for anything unusual compared to your usual self.
Dr. Suhani, Additional Professor, Department of Surgical Disciplines, AIIMS, New Delhi, shares that women should start BSE at 20 years of age and do it at least once a month after their periods. For women who have menopaused, picking a fixed date each month could be useful.
BSE does not replace screening mammography or clinical breast examination. However, it can help women decide to seek medical consultation sooner.
🎥 Watch the full video for the five stages of BSE.
