Thank you @ASNKidney & KidneyCure for this award that will support my project aiming to improve cardiovascular outcomes in kidney transplant patients!

Extremely grateful to my mentorship team at @UCSFNephrology!

Our letter in the Washington Post advocates for broader access to GLP-1s so that patients with obesity and end-stage organ disease can have improved access to transplants.

@kidney_boy @hswapnil @valerie_luyckx @eric_weinhandl @kidney_boy any tips about best way to get bexa when SGLT2i are not covered by insurance? When I checked GoodRx, it referred me to a special pharmacy that sends 30 pills for about $60 which makes it unaffordable for some patients.

@hswapnil @sophia_kidney @NDTsocial Was there an expectation to see better kidney outcomes?

Learn about dietary recommendations after kidney transplantation. What is the evidence? @mgh_transplant @MGHKidneys https://t.co/Zk3k3Dy50I

@Ali_Aminian_MD @TheLancet @AmCollSurgeons @ASMBS @SAGES_Updates @SSATNews @IfsoSecretariat @EASOobesity @PBRCNews What do you think the role of bariatric surgery would be in the era of more effective medical therapy of obesity with GLP1RAs?

@LittleBigGloms @Jwaitz @acweyand Oh that’s wonderful. Do you have a protocol for using GLP1RAs or SGLT2is in your kidney transplant recipients? What about use of GLP1RAs in ESRD patients who need to lose weight to reach a lower BMI to qualify for transplant?

[Kazem Fallahzadeh, MD, MAS @kazemfaa]

@Jwaitz @acweyand @LittleBigGloms Given many kidney transplant recipients experience post-transplant diabetes and weight gain, I think these drugs could be very helpful in this population. Especially given SGLT2 inhibitors are not widely used in this population due to concern for side effects like UTI.

@kidney_boy Any tips how to make baking soda more palatable? I’ve had patients who preferred sodium bicarb tablets over baking soda because of taste.

@HecmagsMD @NavTangri @hswapnil @edgarvlermamd @kidney_boy @Nephro_Sparks @VelezNephHepato @bthomas215 @cdchu looked at FAVORIT data and showed that KFRE accurately predicted the risk for graft loss among adult kidney transplant recipients with graft vintage longer than 2 years: https://t.co/DXbKDlTgTR
