1/5 There has been a major shift in how we treat IgA nephropathy. New studies have shown that kidney failure risk begins at lower levels of proteinuria than previously appreciated, and multiple trials have demonstrated that targeted therapies can reduce the risk of progression.

#NephSky as a non-transplanter who watches patients wait months-years on dialysis for testing that is known to be unhelpful for perioperative risk reduction in the general population, is there any good justification for screening patients for CAD pre-transplant?

A little retrospective can be helpful at times to work out what has been happening and what was knowable. Let's travel back in time to 2017 (~8 years ago) when I was lead author on a paper about the post-truth world. doi.org/10.1016/j.ja... 1/6
Beyond Misinformation: Understanding and Coping with the“Post-Truth” EraStephan Lewandowsky∗University of Bristol, United KingdomUniversity of Western Australia, AustraliaUllrich K.H. EckerUniversity of Western Australia, AustraliaJohn CookGeorge Mason University, United StatesThe terms “post-truth” and “fake news” have become increasingly prevalent in public discourse over the last year.This article explores the growing abundance of misinformation, how it influences people, and how to counter it.We examine the ways in which misinformation can have an adverse impact on society. We summarize how peoplerespond to corrections of misinformation, and what kinds of corrections are most effective. We argue that to beeffective, scientific research into misinformation must be considered within a larger political, technological, andsocietal context.

This post is written in such an irresponsible way. He is not “determined to challenge scientific orthodoxy.” He is a moron, who knows nothing about the portfolio he oversees, who is forcing the CDC to publish blatantly false information, the consequence of which will be the death of many children.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

#askrenal Any tips for getting patients started on GLP-1 without debilitating nausea? Starting patients as per the FLOW protocol, counseling them that it could be temporary and to try to keep going, and I’ve only got a few still on treatment. What am I doing wrong? @hswapnil.medsky.social

Feels like my first 🦋post should be about lupus, but it’s not too late to register for this CSN Webinar about IgA! I’ll be discussing the all of the recent data, interpreting new trial endpoints, and how to apply the available treatments in Canada through a practical lens! www.csncommunity.ca
