Had to leave early from #CSNAGM (sorry @FilPicci) but good wifi on @VIA_Rail so here's a thread on my Top Trials of 2023 talk

Thanks to @JHemmett for the invite

As you can see my list includes non-RCTs and I cheated by squeezing in multiple trials under one theme

@NephRodby Great news indeed
But it’s still extremely early days and it is longer term outcomes of graft function, DSA, acute rejection, and outcomes at one year and beyond that will be critical

10/ While we are waiting for the podcast with @Collinsmichaelg, we are reminded about nephrologists' favorite iv hydration solutions. This was about plasmalyte in kidney trx #NephJC

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
