Tuesday, May 15 at 9pm EDT #AskASN returns for a discussion of belatacept with transplant experts Matthew Ellis, MD from Duke and Silvi Shah from Cincinnati.
Here is a visual abstract by Aakash Shingada on the BENEFIT trials to wet your appetite.
The summer book club started in 2015, with one of the best books we have done in book club, Atul Gawande's Being Mortal. I think it should be required reading for all physicians. So now, in 2025, it is the NephJC Summer Book’s tenth anniversary (which represents our eleventh book). The history has been rich:
This week, we will discuss the phosphate targets in dialysis. Are you aiming for HIgh or Low?
This week, we will discuss the clinical significance of eGFRdiff, the difference in eGFRcys (cystatin C) and eGFRcr (creatinine).
This week, we will discuss how the CONFIDENCE trial gets nephrology closer to the magic CKD polypill of CKD.

We also have a Spanish version of the Visual Abstract, courtesy Pablo Garcia:
To most Nephrologists, Nephronophthisis (NPH) is considered to be a rare autosomal recessive paediatric disease. However, this article by Snoek et al challenges that belief, by examining the prevalence of mutations that cause NPH, in adults with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Read our NephJC summary below and come along to our Twitter Journal Club discussion to find out whether you might consider a diagnosis of NPH, next time you see that patient carrying a label of ‘ESRD, cause unknown’.
