Evidence from this systematic review overwhelmingly found that transplantation was associated with significant reduction in long term mortality risk compared with remaining on dialysis for waitlisted patients with kidney failure @AdnanSharif1979

Ukraine has submitted its application against Russia to the ICJ. Russia must be held accountable for manipulating the notion of genocide to justify aggression. We request an urgent decision ordering Russia to cease military activity now and expect trials to start next week.
How should I use the result❓ (@NICEComms NG 203)
🟣Share & discuss result with patient, family members &/or carers as appropriate
🟣Consider patient’s wishes & co-morbidities with KFRE result, particularly if considering referral to🏥
🟣Consider referral if 5yr KFRE >5%
use #KFRE for:
✅adult (age ≥18) individuals with diagnosed CKD stages 3a to 5 (eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2)
✅to predict endstage kidney disease (ESKD) - the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant
✅in the next two or five years

PhD OPPORTUNITY! Great opportunity to come & do a PhD with me & the magnificent @DrLauraGray in Leicester. The project looks at whether the addition of cardiovascular phenotype improves cardiovascular risk stratification in mature, well-phenotyped cohorts of patients 1/2

Cycling at moderate intensity during dialysis could drastically improve patients' heart health and result in significant savings for the NHS according to new research by @uniofleicester - read more about the study we're pleased to support:

No secret that I like cycling (a lot). Here’s a study we did looking at the effects of cycling on the hearts of patients on dialysis, which they completed during dialysis. https://t.co/3pwaH1nP6E @drjamesburton
Also published today is the cost-effective analysis of the CYCLE-HD trial showing that we can implement exercise programmes and make them value for money. Funded by @NIHRresearch and both supported buy @Kidney_Research@LeicResearch@UoLCVS@UOLtweets
