What’s your treatment for idiopathic pericarditis in PD? NSAIDs will cause loss of RRF and risk of UGIB. Colchicine at even low doses=diarrhea (and myopathy/cytopenias). Prednisone or try colchicine 0.3-0.6mg po daily to see if tolerated? Defer to cardiology? @askrenal.bsky.social #askrenal

In patients receiving #maintenancedialysis, there is substantial variability across the 4 steps required to receive a #kidneytransplant with the rate of referral varying almost 8-fold across Ontario’s Regional Renal Programs @lhsccanada.bsky.social @csnscn.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/2054...

Figure 5 demonstrates the average number of steps completed toward receiving a kidney transplant which varied from 11.7 (95% CI: 9.3, 14.8) to 44.0 (95% CI: 38.6, 50.1) steps per 100 patient-years across RRPs.

65 year old male DM2 HFrEF on RAAS-i and SGLT2-i starts incremental PD with eGFR 7 for volume and uremic symptoms. A1C above target and RRF 1L. Do you keep them on SGLT2-i? You don’t have the luxury to randomize in RENAL-LIFECYCLE. @askrenal.bsky.social
