This week, we will discuss hopefully the final story of intensive BP lowering. BPROAD is a larger version of ACCORD without the glycemic control arm. Dive in.
This week, we will discuss the use of 3K dialysis bath with sodium zirconium cyclosilicate versus 2K bath and no potassium lowering medications in dialysis patients and the associated risk of arrhythmia.
This week, we will discuss post-trial follow-up for EMPA-Kidney. What are the longer-term effects of empagliflozin for patients with chronic kidney disease?
Nausea is a very common and distressing problem. Some medications that treat nausea carry a higher risk for arrhythmias, like Torsades de Pointes, and sudden cardiac death. Is ondansetron safe for use in patients on hemodialysis?
As expected - the renal denervation attracted a lot of attention. Beje did a super job hosting both the chats. And Sarah Gleeson accomplished the difficult task of curating those tweets into a coherent narrative!
Excellent chat always - providing an opportunity to learn for all of us. James Novak and Laura Slattery rose to the challenging job of hosting the chat and Divya did a great job curating the tweets!
Great chats - marking the NSMC take-over of NephJC. Visual Abstract by Sinead, NephJC hosting from Diana and Sinead, moments curated by Michelle Starr (with a bonus moment from Maryam Khosravi)
But lots of thoughtful discussion - including from people with experience of both systems, and across UK from Fergus Caskey who is doing an actual trial - check out the transcript and moments, from Maryam and Manasi.
Highlights being that the authors joined us for the first chat - and we had a surprise host, Maryam Khosravi making her debut with little planning and doing a fab job.
