Was great fun writing this with @edinburgh_renal and Bean (not on Twitter). I learnt a lot; have summarised a few learning points that may be helpful for clinical practice in a blog post: kidneyfish.net/post/salt-pea….

Updated NICE Guidelines on managing CKD are just out - some people might think they’re 100% dull but actually there’s some fascinating updates if you have 1 min & 45 seconds spare to read a summary thread👇

Longer follow up and more granularity in outcomes but similar findings to @renalrob paper: #nephrotic needs more outcome studies pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3361…

Very reassuring long-term data from RCT of early steroid avoidance in low immunological risk kidney transplant recipients on Tac and mmf. Good example of linking a RCT to registry to get long-term outcomes. @UKRenalRegistry @paulphel @marcclancy1 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3353…

Our new paper in @JAMAInternalMed: is IV contrast nephrotoxic? Lots of studies say no, but have ⬆️risk of confounding: people who get contrast ≠ people who don't get it. We used a natural experiment to try to overcome this bias jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… 1/5

It is highly likely there will be further lockdowns in years to come. Getting the public messaging right is essential to ensure urgent medical care is saught by those who need it.

➡️New preprint from the @OpenSafely team led by @alexjohnwalker
➡️At the height of wave 1 there was concern about very high rates of AKI among patients with COVID-19
➡️We looked at the overall number of people with recorded AKI in each month

New work from our team with relevance for kidney disease:
Increased risk of death associated with reduced eGFR/dialysis is similar for deaths from COVID and other causes: so COVID is simply an amplifier of underlying risk. Organ transplant shows more ve association with COVID

NEW @OpenSAFELY analysis (PREPRINT - NOT PEER REVIEWED)
We carried out parallel analyses of COVID-19 deaths and non-COVID deaths, to answer the question: to what extent is a person's risk of dying from COVID-19 governed by their broader risk of death?
