Comments in the NYT are also very interesting. One that caught my attention mentioned that current system is biased in favor of procuring organs in patients who are declared DCD. The cost of having no one prematurely referred for organ donation would be eliminating cadaveric donations altogether.

The NYT piece is a very sensational article & not well balanced. I believe it has caused more harm than good. I don’t blame people for criticizing the OPTN and OPOs—given all the issues you’ve mentioned, they deserve it—but the current system, albeit not perfect, works in 99% of cases. Should be 💯

Not sure if relevant but I love Scottish terriers… #NephJC

What if CKD-EPI GFR of 35 mL/min and MDRD GFR of 25 mL/min ?
Take average?
Add GFRcys of 30 mL/min…

I use metformin in kidney transplant recipients as a first line agent in post-transplant diabetes when eGFR >30 😬

Then a flozin. Then a GLP-1 RA
All good 👍

And don’t hold Flozins before TAVI

Thanks, Sarah. All good; just getting used to the new way of life and social media! How you’re doing well! 👋
