T7a: What do people think? Do you agree? Are we unfairly restricting access to transplant? Are we overdosing antibiotics? #NephJC

T7b. Should we abandon correcting for race? Or while we’re using our current equations is the race correction necessary? #NephJC

T7c. Is the answer to switch to cystatin C? 24hour creatinine clearance? #NephJC

RT @NephroGuy: @NephJC Well, essential medications shouldn’t be withheld on just eGFR basis. That’s bad medicine. #nephJC

RT @NephroGuy: @NephJC Ok that’s tricky. Same problem we have in 100% of Mexicans. We are neither white, black, indigenous, or whatever. #nephjc
