Cardiorenal #VisualAbstract

Last week’s #AskASN was all about cardiorenal syndrome. We had a great turnout and really interesting discussion.

Take a look at this visual abstract about diuretic induced “worsening kidney function” (That’s cardiology-speak for AKI). The visual abstract was done by Michelle Lim, NSMC intern.

#NephJC on desensitization & the winners of the #NEJMCup

This was another great #NephJC. Notable for many firsts:

• Hosting debuts by #NSMC intern, Silvi Shah, and RenalMed founder, Matt Graham-Brown (the latter also wrote the pre-chat summary)
• Lot of fresh faces (hello Pawan, Todd and Sian) and over 700 tweets from more than 60 tweeps

The transcripts and storifys are also already done - and up on the page, due to uber-fast curation from Hector.

Lastly, we have the pleasure of announcing the winners of the coveted #NEJMCup. There were many great tweets, so it took some time to sift through all the nominees. Here are the winning tweets:

T1: If faced the option of wait listing or incompatible living donor, I would be willing to take the risk #NephJC

@NephJC @calvapo #nephjc UK data also shows advantage but less impressive. Patient choice and expectation so important

Congratulations, Kevin and Sian! Your #NEJMCups should be on the way soon, courtesy of the New England Journal of Medicine.
