CKiD is a multicenter, prospective cohort study of children with chronic kidney disease. Account managed by staff at @JohnsHopkinsEPI. Tweets not medical advice
In this population of children and adolescents with CKD, we found the relationship between UPCR and albumin/protein is different by CKD diagnosis and there are proposed equations to estimate urine albumin from total urine protein. @AJKDonlineajkd.org/article/S0272-6386(β¦
We have a new #CKiD Twitter Feature for you today! Sara Boynton is a Senior Research Program Manager at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine @HopkinsMedicine. She has worked as a CKiD coordinator, and also manages the @NAPRTCS1 studies!
βWe believe it is possible that the CKiD participants may have access to resources though their close subspecialty follow-up that help attenuate some neighborhood effects.β
Staff like Sara are invaluable to the study, and we are so thankful for all the work she does connecting with participants and publishing important impactful analyses. Thank you for all you do and have done for CKiD, Sara!

We have a new #CKiD Study Highlight for you! Today weβre featuring Ankur Patel, a Biostatistician for the CKiD Data Coordinating Center at @JohnsHopkinsSPH@JohnsHopkinsEPI
The other is supporting an investigator-led analysis to understand the relationship between food assistance and chronic kidney disease (more to come once it is published!)
A fun fact about Ankur: he read almost all the Game of Thrones books as a middle schooler! (aka before it was cool π).
Weβre so thankful to have Ankur as a CKiD team member, and canβt wait to see how his work will influence the field of pediatric nephrology going forward!
