No one better than @NadaAlachkar @hopkinsneph 2 learn from about FSGS & kidney transplant. Great grand rounds @MayoClinic Arizona! FSGS post-transplant remains a challenge. Better phenotyping based on permeability factor is key & hopefully we’ll have that capability in coming yrs

What to expect on a xenograft kidney pre implant biopsy: 📌 IF: mesangial immune complex deposits in all 3 grafts likely donor-related 📌 EM : - Intact podocyte foot processes - Thin GBM vs human glomeruli likely normal porcine anatomy

Our new study from NW Syria about ESKD patients perspective about their care. 29% missed sessions, 60% were displaced, health literacy is low, and many lacked access to nephrologists. Low-resource solutions are urgently needed. bmchealthservres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
