A part of me dies every time I see a baclofen RX from a nephrologist, especially when alternatives have not be trialed first.. #nephrology #pharmacy #justsayno

I think it’s important to note and thank the professional CDC staff that prepared such an exhaustive litany of information for the briefings that made clear that the decisions the “ACIP” voted on were actually counter to what the scientific evidence supported and was driven by their bias and animus

RAASi remain cornerstone therapies 🧩
Proven to slow CKD & cut CV risk ❤️ Still underused 🚫—mainly of hyperK⚡️
It’s time to use the RAASi toolkit! #NephSky #MedSky @theisn.org

Strange papers published by @asnpublications.bsky.social #K360

journals.lww.com/kidney360/ci...

Written by 3 pharma employees +2, first and corresponding author pharma employee, & ‘perspective’ says ……use the pharma product!

Why should *anyone* use calcefidiol aka OPKO pharma’s Rayaldee™️?

Here’s another example of how crappy these drugs are for patients: the constant up and down of doses… Phos this month is 6.1 (last month 5.4) so now let’s increase from 1 to 2 tabs/meal only for us to go back to 1 tab/meal the next month. This is insanity at its finest.

Excited to present a couple posters at @asnkidney.bsky.social Kidney Week! See you all in November 👋🏻

I totally forgot to join #nephjc yesterday - I wanted to join just to say I detest phos binders and their sole purpose is to torture the patient so a lab number can improve. Plus major under recognized and under reported side effect like colonic ulcers and GI bleeding

That sevelamer versus calcium box in the figure above? The hats driven by the fraudulent Di Iorio et al trials that CJASN and AJKD mistakenly published

The HiLo pragmatic, multicenter randomized trial, compared a higher ("Hi") versus lower ("Lo") serum phosphate target in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Read more about what researchers learned from the trial: kidney.pub/JASN0765 #ASNJASN

👏 Great discussion!
📅 Up Next: 8/5/25 we discuss the 📘HiLo trial- A RCT of phosphate targets for HD patients #NephJC
Do we finally have data to end “the great phosphate-bypass”

Nephrologists deported
Grants defunded
NIDDK folded into National Institute of body parts
AHRQ demolished
Now this…

When are our organizations going to speak up?

#NephSky

I think I’m going to add phosphate binders to my list of most hated drugs. Talk about one of the biggest negative impacts on a patient’s quality of life.. and in the half century+ we’ve been using them we haven’t even determined the impact on meaningful outcomes??
