I am thrilled to share I matched to Pediatric Nephrology and will stay @BostonChildrens for fellowship. It’s been a journey, but I’m absolutely grateful! Can’t wait to be part of the Peds Nephro community 🫘😁
An exciting milestone for our field. This @harvardmed feature explores how advances in xenotransplantation are bringing us closer to expanding access to lifesaving organ transplantation. Proud to be part of this journey.

On June 24, @mgh_transplant team performed the 1st robotic kidney transplant for a kidney tx recipient at Mass General Hospital. Building on our extensive experience with robotic living donor kidney surgery, this milestone expands the use of robotic technology. Congrats team🚀👋
Today's word is "Genomics," The study of the genome, and one of our favorite words in the Sampson Lab. By exploring how genes interact with one another and the environment, genomics helps us better understand the genetic basis of disease.
What word should we define next?
This National Kidney Month, we highlight the importance of understanding how and why kidney disease develops. Through research and collaboration, we work to generate knowledge that helps inform better care today and in the future, especially for pediatric patients.
Diet, excess weight, certain health conditions, and some supplements or medications can all contribute to the formation of kidney stones. They may develop anywhere along the urinary tract, often when concentrated urine allows minerals to crystallize and clump together.

A #KidneyTransplant offers the ultimate gift: a chance at a renewed and healthier life. Many individuals await this life-saving procedure, yet finding a suitable donor remains a challenge.
Consider becoming a donor to transform lives and provide hope to those in need.

Today is International Women's Day. Women face unique kidney health challenges, including:
• Higher risks of urinary tract infections
• Complications in pregnancy
• Kidney damage from conditions like Lupus Nephritis
Limited healthcare access and disparities in kidney transplants further complicate care. Let’s raise awareness and improve support for women with kidney disease.

A chronic kidney disease (#CKD) diagnosis can feel overwhelming with the amount of information shared during medical visits. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, seek clarity, or request explanations to be repeated.
