Some good news - a vaccine to prevent kidney cancer returning.

It’s a small sample at this stage, but there were zero cases of recurrence.

Clazakizumab, an IL-6 inhibitor, improves iron metabolism & may reduce ESA use in dialysis

✅ ↓ Hepcidin (~44%)
✅ ↑ TSAT (up to 19%)
✅ ↓ ESA dose uptitration

P3 trial (n=2,200) ongoing for CV outcomes.

Our findings now in JASN @asnpublications.bsky.social : journals.lww.com/jasn/citatio...

💡 "Can you survive by drinking water from the Baltic Sea?" 🌊💧
A student asked me an interesting question: You can’t survive on seawater (~35 g/L salt), but the Baltic Sea surrounding Sweden only has 7 g/L. Could that be low enough for survival? Let’s dive in. 🧵✨

Our recent study shows that glucose can cross peritoneal cells via a trans-cellular route during peritoneal dialysis, with evidence pointing to GLUT1 as playing a key role. This thread 🧵outlines the design and findings of the study. doi.org/10.1177/0896...

🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨
Can phloretin (from apple trees 🍏) enhance peritoneal dialysis?

Our study shows potent effects on:
✅ Improving ultrafiltration
✅ Reducing glucose absorption via GLUT inhibition
✅ Clear dose-response relationship in experimental
models
