@AnthemBCBS It’s been over 10 business days on your investigation and I haven’t heard back.

[Derek Larson, MD, FASN @DerekSLarson]

@AnthemBCBS @BCBSAssociation, can you help tell my young patient with primary membranous nephropathy and 6g of proteinuria that her Rituximab, the preferred first line immunosuppressive therapy, was denied with no further options to appeal?

[Derek Larson, MD, FASN @DerekSLarson]

@AnthemBCBS No reply or correspondence yet @AnthemBCBS. Are you planning to contact me to investigate this?

[Derek Larson, MD, FASN @DerekSLarson]

@DrDanMO Such a beautiful tribute for an incredible man.

[Derek Larson, MD, FASN @DerekSLarson]

@erastourticketz Long live. Always loved how she shows gratitude to her fans and reminds us to “remember this moment”.

@stlzoo @DGlaucomflecken I am a homeostasis-trusting nephrologist and also a St Louis Zoo Board member; I’d love to set up a behind the scenes penguin encounter for you and Lady G. DM me - I’ll bring the Morton’s?

Had a blast as a @NBCWeakestLink contestant but hoping for more #Nephrology questions next time

Communication and defining roles and duties are key points of transition of care. Wonderful discussion by @DerekSLarson #MTS2023

[Derek Larson, MD, FASN @DerekSLarson]

When should patients be sent back to their general nephrologist to manage after a transplant? I’m giving a talk surrounding this and interested in your thoughts.

[Derek Larson, MD, FASN @DerekSLarson]

@AKronbichler @VelezNephHepato @jrseltzer And just for good measure…
@VelezNephHepato

[Derek Larson, MD, FASN @DerekSLarson]

@AKronbichler @VelezNephHepato @jrseltzer Ha! Same here, Andreas! I was thinking the exact same thing. Cheers to nephro-uniformity!

[Derek Larson, MD, FASN @DerekSLarson]

@NephRodby @fouadchebib @askrenal @sgoldber99

[Derek Larson, MD, FASN @DerekSLarson]

@AKronbichler @VelezNephHepato @jrseltzer Agreed! She underwent TPE earlier this morning and I started pulse steroids and CYC this afternoon. Will keep you updated about her course!

[Derek Larson, MD, FASN @DerekSLarson]

@AKronbichler @VelezNephHepato @jrseltzer TEE and cultures have been negative for this patient but she did require dialysis yesterday (creat > 5.5, etc).
