Kabir Olaniran, MD, MPH

University of Texas Southwestern Nephrologist and Physician-Scientist focused on kidney disease in sickle cell trait and sickle cell disease.

[Kabir Olaniran, MD, MPH @KO_MDNeph]

Did you know up to 1 in 13 Black Americans carry the sickle cell gene? Most have no idea what it means for their kidneys. I spoke with Rolling Out Health IQ about this unique interaction between the sickle cell gene and the kidneys.

HAPPENING NOW 🚨Our own, Kabir Olaniran @KO_MDNeph , delivering lecture on: Emerging Concepts in Sickle Cell Trait and the Kidneys. #KidneyWk

[JASN_News @JASN_News]

.@OpeyemiOlabisi8, a 2024 Top 5 reviewer, shared that "JASN attracts highly significant manuscripts from some of the most innovative investigators around the globe. It has been my pleasure to review some of these manuscripts."

FYI - This IS the recommendation from the @ASNKidney @nkf Race and eGFR Task Force Final Report - immediate implementation of the 2021 CKD-EPI race-free #eGFR equation. Check out the final report here -->https://t.co/8fYUASHSAE

[Amaka Eneanya, MD, MPH @AmakaEMD]

Honored to contribute to the NEW 2021 CKD-EPI #race-free #eGFR equation in our latest research published in @NEJM today. I learned a ton about equations. Importantly, the main lesson is that #race should NOT be incorporated into #biological tools. https://t.co/RvfWWwGOox

Sickle cell trait increases likely hood for eGFR, but mechanisms of eGFR decline in sickle cell trait remain understudied. This study found that sickle cell trait is linked to higher risk of AKI, which is associated with accelerated decline in eGFR https://t.co/lFk2DjvLDn

[JASN_News @JASN_News]

Race is a social rather than biological construct, however kidney function is reported based on race. Many hospitals have stopped this practice, but what other aspects of clinical practice and research may have subtle racist undertones? @waikarss https://t.co/ZpYTOAwfdo

[Amaka Eneanya, MD, MPH @AmakaEMD]

"If we substitute the terms “Jewish” and “Christian” for “Black” and “White” in the above examples, the absurdity becomes clear (“ethnic differences in proximal and distal tubular sodium reabsorption are heritable in [Jewish] and [Christian] populations”)."Yes @waikarss!

God grant me the self-confidence of the intern writing for 20 mg of IV furosemide for my fluid overloaded dialysis patient.

Honored to work with this ⭐️ team on this ground-shifting research, work that supports calls being made across the medical and research fields. Let's keep pushing. 👊🏾

Words can't express my deep gratitude for my forever mentor, Ravi. So many have been blessed to have his mentorship and sponorship. Congrats Ravi - noone is more deserving of this award!! Cc: @OpeyemiOlabisi8 @CEPoweMD @sagarnigs @MegSise @FrankCortazar @MerrandaMD @KO_MDNeph

A meta-analysis found that although native kidney biopsy is an invasive diagnostic procedure, the rates of bleeding complications are low. Complications are more frequently seen after kidney biopsies of hospitalized patients with AKI. https://t.co/kxK6qxX1fc

I guess this makes me an official @UChiPritzker James E. Bowman Society Lecturer! "All of The Lights" is the perfect theme song. Time to shine bright lights on #racial #injustice in healthcare for everyone to see! Let's put an end to this - for good. @UChiPritzker @monicavelaw

[Amaka Eneanya, MD, MPH @AmakaEMD]

Thank you so much for the 🔥 infographic!!

Honored to once again participate in the #nephrology session at the @NationalMedAssn Convention and Scientific Assembly. Tune in Tuesday, August 5th (tomorrow) from 12-2p! @OpeyemiOlabisi8 @itunuowoyemi @KO_MDNeph #EliminateRacialDisparities #NMAGoesVirtual2020

@GlassockJ Nephrology is increasingly complicated. It may be time to expand training to 3 years so that all the new material can be taught and recapitulated to a level that is required of a specialty whose complexity is rapidly rising (not withstanding the match results)

[Mass General Brigham Nephrology @MGBKidneys]

Congrats to Dr. Kabir Olaniran, a recent graduate of our fellowship program on his @JASN_News paper looking at kidney function decline in patients with sickle cell trait and disease
