NephJC is a nephrology journal club that uses Twitter to discuss the research, guidelines, and editorials that are driving nephrology forward.

 

Celebrate a decade of NephJC

 

Upcoming Twitter chats

All scheduled chats are tentative. We may change the schedule depending on the whims of the NephJC work group

November 5, 6 Long-Term Effects of Empagliflozin in Patients with CKD (EMPA-KIDNEY Collaborative Group, NEJM, 2024).

November 19, 20 ADAPT trial: Effects of dialysate potassium concentration of 3.0mEq/l with sodium zirconium cyclosilicate on dialysis-free days versus dialysate potassium concentration of 2.0mEq/l alone on rates of cardiac arrhythmias in hemodialysis patients with hyperkalemia (Charytan DM, Kidney Int, 2024)


 

Twice a month (that’s aspirational, not a promise), the filtrate (Jennie Lin, Joel Topf, Jordy Cohen, Joshua Waitzman, Nayan Arora, Sophia Ambruso, and Swapnil Hiremath) sit down and recap the latest NephJC discussion. We go as deep as it takes. Give it a listen.
