Was great fun writing this with @edinburgh_renal and Bean (not on Twitter). I learnt a lot; have summarised a few learning points that may be helpful for clinical practice in a blog post: https://t.co/tJD5cPpbQ0.

Updated NICE Guidelines on managing CKD are just out - some people might think they’re 100% dull but actually there’s some fascinating updates if you have 1 min & 45 seconds spare to read a summary thread👇

@KyriakiBakeri @AcademicChatter Already?! Time flies... 1) start with the results chapters; 2) prioritise just getting it done over making it perfect; 3) read the formatting rules before you start; 4) shorter is better. Good luck! Am sure it will be a good one...

@geddescc @mcq_emily @renalrob Longer follow up and more granularity in outcomes but similar findings to @renalrob paper: #nephrotic needs more outcome studies https://t.co/jNp7Z0tmx9

[Colin Geddes @geddescc]

Very reassuring long-term data from RCT of early steroid avoidance in low immunological risk kidney transplant recipients on Tac and mmf. Good example of linking a RCT to registry to get long-term outcomes. @UKRenalRegistry @paulphel @marcclancy1 https://t.co/qGFoouVZa5

[Robert Goulden @EMrobg]

Our new paper in @JAMAInternalMed: is IV contrast nephrotoxic? Lots of studies say no, but have ⬆️risk of confounding: people who get contrast ≠ people who don't get it. We used a natural experiment to try to overcome this bias https://t.co/XWEEohAvK0 1/5

It is highly likely there will be further lockdowns in years to come. Getting the public messaging right is essential to ensure urgent medical care is saught by those who need it.

➡️New preprint from the @OpenSafely team led by @alexjohnwalker

➡️At the height of wave 1 there was concern about very high rates of AKI among patients with COVID-19

➡️We looked at the overall number of people with recorded AKI in each month

New work from our team with relevance for kidney disease:
Increased risk of death associated with reduced eGFR/dialysis is similar for deaths from COVID and other causes: so COVID is simply an amplifier of underlying risk. Organ transplant shows more +ve association with COVID
