Conflicts on interest in healthcare continue to adversely impact what we do.

The coverage of lecanemab and NICE decision - look for undisclosed interests….

@ShaunLintern Reduce NICE/SMC cost-effectiveness threshold for approving new drugs/technologies. It’s an arbitrary number and I bet pharma would reduce their prices in response

[Colin Geddes @geddescc]

Useful information about membranous nephropathy recurrence in transplant in the modern era. Cumulative risk 31% at 10 years. Measuring anti-PLA2r Ab pretransplant, and ritux for recurrence seem sensible. https://t.co/vN5bYzvo0Y

@NephJC No

Data just do not support sick day rules

They are fashionable nonsense

Systematic review of RCTs of blood pressure lowering agents in people with kidney transplants. Evidence that no drug class has a distinct advantage with respect to long-term outcomes. But evidence quality low.

This is my dad ❤️ in 2003 he donated his kidney to me in a very high risk & sadly unsuccessful transplant (his kidney was perfect but my body hates them 🙄). About to turn 80 he still puts me through my paces skiing - total legend! #livingorgandonationawareness #livingorgandonor
