How does Semaglutide protect the kidneys? Is it weight loss? Glycemic control? According to ⁦@hswapnil⁩, who cares!

Plus a reduction in the all important "Hit-by-bus-outcome by ⁦@Jwaitz⁩

Hypomagnesemia is present in 3 to 10% of the general population, but its prevalence is increased among persons with type 2 diabetes and hospitalized patients, especially those in the intensive care unit. Learn more: https://t.co/hpbdwSUdgL

People say the reason why no one discovered anti-nephrin earlier is because it’s hard to detect. The major reason is though that no one except Helmut Rennke had imagined this as an antibody mediated disease. The rest was logical thinking and rigorous execution.

Congratulations to the brilliant @AstridWeins for her pioneering work in discovering the role of Antinephrin antibodies!

[Astrid Weins @AstridWeins]

@VelezNephHepato Well, sometimes unbiased approaches are too diluted to render real results. Sometimes you just have to use your observations, your knowledge of physiology and histology and cell biology to hone in on what makes sense. ;-) I had no doubt it would be reproduced and validated.

Couldn't be more proud of our work - thanks to our great team full of motivation! Thank you all @NicolaMTomas @Tobias_B_Huber @ISGDtweets @moritz_lasse @mrins01 @LoretoGesualdo @pi_ronco @AstridWeins and so many more involved!

This is what collegiality and mutual support looks like. Wish there was more of that in science! @Tobias_B_Huber @ISGDtweets @nephcure

Antinephrin autoantibodies occur in adults with minimal change disease and children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and appear to be disease activity markers. Their binding at slit diaphragms may induce podocyte dysfunction. https://t.co/kJLkUQJQH2
