Transplant Nephrologist @StanfordNeph. My research is to answer: how do we make better decisions based on the existing technology and states of knowledge?

@JAMANetworkOpen Honored to work with my fantastic colleagues at @StanfordNeph @gchertow

Kidney transplant-related organ acquisition cost payments amounted to 4% of Medicare ESRD expenditure ($100k per transplant). Waitlist size and comorbidities contribute to this increase; expanding the waitlist will likely increase costs and liability. https://t.co/5p5Y4NagzD

@eugelin06 Amen, college included. I feel for the parents who are still paying Stanford tuitions this quarter.

@EMBrandehoff @SaynaNorouzi great summary! a few caveats on ethylene glycol: 1) lactate can also be positive (cross-reactivity of assay; 2) if you catch the pt early enough they may have only osmol gap without anion gap--if index of suspicion is high enough, needs to ob and treat.

Question for everybody: Has anyone done tried the Manfredini (https://t.co/U1Kh9oouTK …) approach to home exercise (metronym-paced walking)? I've been using whatever free metronym apps I can find.

[Xingxing Cheng, MD MS @CunningBeans]

@suziekjos @CJASN @hswapnil @OttawaRenal @annlbugeja You're a rockstar for keeping it up! Exercise is challenging enough even in people without kidney disease (here's looking at myself).

73% of patients on dialysis desire a home exercise regimen. How do we make it happen???

Study examines barriers to #exercise experienced by patients on dialysis https://t.co/JGHWu4SO2R @hswapnil @ottawarenal @annlbugeja

[Xingxing Cheng, MD MS @CunningBeans]

@dochill82 That's fantastic. I read some papers out of the UK on exercise initiatives in the dialysis units--lots of great work (I assumed you were from UK based on Liverpool in your description--apologies if I got it wrong!). Are you publishing the result?

Always an honor to work with and learn from my talented and dedicated colleagues @KristaLentine @@FarrukhKoraishy @StanfordNeph

Honored to join @CunningBeans, @FarrukhKoraishy, Drs. Tan & Myers in describing ‘Implications of #Frailty for #Peritransplant #Outcomes’. While highly relevant to outcomes, more work is needed to #tailor mgmt. to unique needs of frail patients. @AST_info @ASNKidney @SLUHospital

for all who write/read grants&papers, for all those that consume quantitative data, this appears to be a great resource. These tools are sophisticated and with 'big data' visualization needs, i begin to wonder whether a picture is worth only a 1000 words..sells pictures short

@PabloGarciaMD @StanfordNeph This was the best week ever!!!!!

My favorite: Pharmacist-led interventions in barber shops improve blood pressure control in African-Americans. Let's station them everywhere, shall we?

Congrats to @StanfordNeph @StanfordMed superstar Tammy Sirich on getting NIH R01 trial funded to study 2X weekly HD on QOL in pts with residual function!

[Xingxing Cheng, MD MS @CunningBeans]

@dguerrot @VerranDeborah @NephroMostapha TMA? still doesn't explain the imaging finding.

[Xingxing Cheng, MD MS @CunningBeans]

@dguerrot Calcium phosphate deposition from massive renal dumping of Ca/Phos post-op? Wouldn't expect it to come on so fast though. Also doesn't explain that degree of elevation in LDH.

[Xingxing Cheng, MD MS @CunningBeans]

@GrahamAbra Um, how did they ever hone in on this (without committing the multiple testing fallacy)?
