Among excellent sessions at #WTC2025 🇺🇸, watching my 14-year old son from @kes-stratford.bsky.social give an oral presentation is the highlight 🤩

A great achievement to confidently speak at an international congress (maybe I’m biased 😉) @kes-headmaster.bsky.social

A great start to #WTC2025 in SF 🇺🇸 helping moderate a 🤗 workshop with 👍🏽 speakers and 🧠 insight from across the 🌍

Key takeaway msgs:

💥 BMI is a number - not a barrier
💥Diet/exercise important but 💊 or 💉 help

Very interesting analyses in showing success in weight loss with GLP-1 RAs is lost with similar regain of weight after cessation despite lifestyle interventions.

Important data for kidney patients who are taking GLP-1 RA with CKD/DKD, to lose weight for transplant listing or post-transplantation.

Sensible recommendations from UK Kidney Association Acute Kidney Injury: National Summit report.

If patient needs contrast for clinical indication (diagnostic or therapeutic), GIVE THEM CONTRAST! Don’t faff about 😩
