What is a preprint anyway? And how is it different from a ‘real’ research paper. What about reviews or perspectives?
Brian Byrd breaks it down for us
This week, we will discuss the best schedule for tapering steroids in adult patients with podocytopathies (MCD/FSGS).
This week, we will discuss the use of LLMs for the diagnosis of complex nephrology cases. Can AI help nephrologists nail the correct diagnosis?
MERCURI-2 reports that dapagliflozin cuts postoperative AKI after cardiac surgery, but the headline result is mostly a urine-output story, not a creatinine one. That matters: urine output after surgery is easily swayed by anesthesia, fluid shifts, vasopressors, and a diuretic drug in the mix. Until dapagliflozin shows it protects kidney function, not just urine output.
As with all the other pages on COVID-19 here on NephJC, this page on AKI & the discussion are not meant to be treatment recommendations based on sound evidence. Our aim on this page is to merely discuss the science of what we know, and some of the biology and mechanisms as well as practical management aspects.
There has been an unprecedented interest in this topic. Hence we have added more details and moved this section from the main page to a dedicated area with focus on hypertension and ACE2. Curated by Matt Sparks and Swapnil Hiremath, with additional expert input from the COVID-ACE2 workgroup

Wow. Krystahl Andujar saved our bacon with a last minute visual abstract.

One of the important parts of the tradition is that Top Nephrology Stories of the Year depends on the wisdom of the crowd.
