Very impt piece of work on precise diagnosis of APOL1 mediated kid dxs. Patients with N264K (M1) co-inherited with G2 may have other kidney dxs and not AMKD. Huge implications for use of emerging AMKD therapy and interpretation of CT. Congratulations @genetickidneydoc.bsky.social and collaborators🎉

It was a pleasure reviewing the @kdigo.org 2025 clin practice guidelines for PD NS for US practice. Thanks @ajkd.bsky.social for asking me to do this with Chia-shi Wang. Highlight, Levamisole not approved for use in Humans in the US!!👍

We have the momentum, let’s solve the problems of rFSGS, first step is to have critical mass of patients’ derived biomaterials to start answering fundamental questions that will lead us to better understanding of disease mechanisms and durable therapy🙏🏽

Duke PUMP is our effort to address the workforce crisis in Nephrology& urology. We are accepting applications for our 3rd cohort. Only 37% of positions filled in Peds Neph this year!! We should engage young folks in career in Neph from elementary school!! #NIDDK #ASPN @asnkidney.bsky.social
