Can Dialysis Outshine Transplant in the Elderly?
This week, we will discuss whether decreased donor transplantation improves mortality in all patients. In this target trial emulation standard donor, extended donor, donation after brain death and donation after cardiac death outcomes are compared across age groups with different co-morbid conditions.

Unlocking the door to living kidney donor paradise?
This week, nephrologists hope they found the key to no-dialysis-land, where kindness and detailed, multistep interventions make the path to kidney transplant much easier. This was foreseen in our Freely Filtered episode and disputed during #KidneyWK 2023 late-breaking clinical trials session. Still, when it comes to RCTs’ results, will it be Deja Vu or a happy ending?
