If there was ever an argument why the treatment of #kidneydisease must move upstream, look at 5 year survival on #hemodialysis + how it compares to cancer + other diseases Thanks @Kidney_Kula + @4_kidney for sharing cc @soledadobrien @PostRowland @KHNews @LizSzabo @NYTHealth
Reading the most recent issue of @CJASN and I was struck by this figure from Joseph Bonventreās editorial. I hope findings like these can help our health system appreciate the need for and value of nephrologists and their research! #medtwitter #pedneph

While this is exciting news, will this innovation reach the people that really need access to the treatment? Will this treatment reduce the fact that 33% of people on dialysis are African- American? #nephjc

The approval of the MediBeacon Inc.of the TGfR is a big first step in the advancement of #kidney health. eGFR is an insensitive biomarker that many times does not provide an accurate assessment of kidney function. This has implications in being placed on dialysis prematurely, eligibility to participate in a clinical trial, initiation of a nephroprotective treatment, etc. The MediBeacon Inc. device provides an improved assessment of kidney function.
FDA approves Transdermal GFR System (TGFR). See TGFR Sensor, TGFR Monitor, and LumitraceĀ®(relmapirazin) injection together allow kidney function assessment by measuring clearance rate of fluorescent agent as it leaves body. See
