Thank you to Orhi Esarte Palomero, PhD. for a tour of his advanced electron microscope lab at @nu-nephrology.bsky.social that is doing pioneering work in visualizing the molecular basis of kidney and other diseases.

Exciting developments in Nephrology! Let's keep accelerating the speed of innovation.

Scientists convert a kidney from blood type A to universal type O and implant it in a brain-dead recipient

Scientists move one step closer to "universal" donor organs with a successful kidney transplant in a brain-dead patient.

Not a good week of press for the US Organ Procurement Organizations.

We in the kidney community must ensure these organizations are above reproach.

As someone with kidney disease, I am very supportive of increasing the donor pool. But we must be very careful with the lives of donors.

A Push for More Organ Transplants Is Putting Donors at Risk

People across the United States have endured rushed or premature attempts to remove their organs. Some were gasping, crying or showing other signs of life.

What would dialysis look like if every dialysis provider had to spend time attached to a chair, fatigued, and on fluid restriction?

Arnold D. @kidneyrebel.bsky.social · Jul 18

Innovation in nephrology is often closely tied to technological advances. Cellophane led to the dialysis machine. Teflon led to AVF access. Advanced computing to donation chains.

Let's keep our eyes open for technology advances that can be leveraged for the kidney.

Glad to see journal articles and a Kidney Week early session on Nephrology and GenAI.

There must be some gold in all that data kidney patients generate.
