Great session on waiting list status and understanding the reasons patients will be inactive vs active. We need to be clearer in communicating what patients are going through with Dr Allyson Hart @AST_info #CEOT2023

Teladoc ($TDOC) lost a casual $13.6b last year mostly due to Livongo-related impairment charges. Story to come.

Thanks Gurch, it's such an innovative platform for the Black community to hear stories of living donation. Thank you also to the Choir's ambassador @frank_dor, their patron @MBDiversityLead, and sponsors @kidneycareuk

@NatashaNDave @kantsmd Many patients I see with advanced CKD feel it’s their fault, because of something they did or didn’t do. This regret is often unwarranted, as many kidney diseases are in large part bad luck.

[AOPOHQ @AOPOHQ]

In a recent op-ed to the @Enquirer, Brett Milam from @LifeCenterCincy raises a call to action to improve the organ donation system through collaboration, strategic policy, and metric changes. #OrganDonation #DonateLife https://t.co/C6izdFQnS5

Today I witnessed the most selfless, inspiring, gift of life 💝 My colleague & dear friend Aleks just donated a kidney to a complete stranger. I had no idea what to take this incredible human! So I got a plush kidney to keep her remaining one company 💜

[Eliot Heher MD @dreliotheher]

People with #ckd: were you turned down for kidney transplant due to iliac artery calcification? Nephrologists, know any patients in this bind? Check out this novel approach from @joseph_scalea & colleagues @UMMC. We need new approaches like this!

@z_miller4 Agree … and patients are much more interested in engaging if the message is one of hope rather than suffering (eg dialysis).

[Martha Gershun @mgershun]

This beautiful song about organ donation wins Song of the Year! I hope it encourages more people to sign their organ donor cards and talk to their families about donation. #donatelife

I thought this soon-to-be-donor's story might give hope to weary families needing a #kidney donor. #livingdonor

We ❤️#transplant! Former @MayoClinic nurse donates her kidney to her co-worker and best friend of 25 years. https://t.co/TufcknSOw9

[Sylvia Rosas,MD,MSCE @sylviaerosas]

We are excited that Rep @BillDriscollJr introduced the Living Donor Protection Act in @MA_Senate. Please contact your state representative in support of removing barriers to kidney transplant #mykidneyvoice @NKF_Advocacy @NKFNewEngland

[Eliot Heher MD @dreliotheher]

So proud of my colleague @julliehoggan for her perspective on assessing pain in people with PKD.

[United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) @UNOSNews]

The gifts of generous donors and their courageous families made lifesaving records possible in 2022. The nation's organ donation & transplant community honors the legacies of these individuals & their loved ones by always striving to improve. #DonateLife https://t.co/H6klmjcOy9

@healthcareandy It’s not clear to me that any of these “new kids on the block” are putting much effort into increasing kidney transplantation.

[Eliot Heher MD @dreliotheher]

@KidneyBea_n @nepherson @VUMCKidney Thanks this is very interesting. No Eculizumab needed for the 2nd allograft?

[Matt Cooper @Mattcoopmd1]

Proud moment for all! Additional exciting work happening to further expand equity and access both to transplant organs and to waiting lists. 2023 promises to be another groundbreaking and historic year in the US donation and transplant system. https://t.co/NOfFxNeEG5

[Amit K. Mathur, MD MS FACS @MathurAmitK]

A proud 2022 for Mayo Clinic in Arizona Transplant Center… 34 hearts, 29 pancreas, 245 livers, & 499 kidneys were transplanted into patients from all over the US.

Grateful for the opportunity to care for those in need of #transplant.

More to be done in 2023.

[Kevin J. Fowler Principal The Voice of the Patient @gratefull080504]

For disclosure purposes I am consulting for CSL Behring to help recruit for this trial. cAMR is big unmet need for the kidney transplant patient community. It bears repeating that there are no FDA approved treatments for cAMR #transplanttwitter
