First data of the TTVguideIT RCT
presented @ERA26 in Glasgow 🏴
Personalized Immunosuppression 💊 by Torque Teno 🦠 virus in kidney TX is safe and might help reducing Tacrolimus #TTVguide
we did it 👏🍾🎉🕺💃☺️
today was last visit of the last patient of the TTVguideIT study
260 KTX recipients randomiced to torque teno virus 🦠 guided immunosuppression vs SOC and followed for one year
thanks to all 13 recruiting centers across europe #ttvguide
📣Article of the month 📢“The arteriovenous access stage (AVAS) classification” by Baláž et al. They report on a new classification system to describe a patient’s suitability and options for upper limb VA creation based on arterial and venous anatomy

📣Watch out for de novo DSA formation after high-load BKPyV DNAemia in kidney transplant recipients! Should we rethink immunosuppression reduction in these cases? Could #TTVGuide help balance rejection/infection? @jirotmans@MarietFeltkamp@BondGregor https://t.co/ZKvxfY1M58
📣Case of the month📣
Patient presents with some complaints of a cold hand, without pain, after creation of radiocephalic fistula (grade I Haemodialysis access-induced distal ischaemia (HAIDI).
📣Case of the month📢
Complex access cases where patients have exhausted traditional upper limb options or have central venous disease still have vascular access options beyond central venous catheters or lower limb access ⬇️⬇️⬇️

📢Check out our latest article📣 Revealing how Belatacept counteracts the decline of TTV levels in kidney transplant patients.Could Belatacept be a more potent immunosuppressant than we think?Thanks to #TTVguide and @biomerieux@jirotmans@MarietFeltkamp@BondGregor @owbredewold
today the last of 260 patients for the TTVguideIT trial #ttvguide was randomized 😊
this multicenter interventional RCT tests if Torque Teno virus 🦠 guided immunosuppression can improve kidney TX outcome
🙏 to 13 including centers across Europe
data expected 9/25
📢Article of the month🔔 ‘Ultrasound evaluation of dialysis access-related distal ischaemia’ by Pirozzi et al.https://t.co/VK1kuAlCYK
Key points:Ultrasound helps confirm the diagnosis of HD access-induced distal ischaemia (HAIDI) and determine the right procedure for treatment

Created a fortress of a folder on the department drive, locked it tight for only a select few and forgot to include myself to the VIP list. Now it stands, I'm afraid until the end of time..#PhDlife
Already the last module of the @NPATH15 program! Thanks to the amazing nephrology team at the General University Hospital of Patras I learned a lot about peritoneale dialysis!! And their hospitality...Amazing!!
