Great morning so far at the virtual

annual retreat. Despite C19, amazing progress by all - science is so diverse, I definitely learnt from each presentation!

Delighted to be part of this critical work in linking ANCA registries across Europe. A key milestone in rare disease research! Thanks of course to

for enabling my involvement in this!
A personalised approach is critical when considering

Crazy times but amazing first session on SGLT2Is at virtual
@ASNKidney
. Initial benefits: definitely heard & processed the talks better than a busy room. Negatives: missing the F2F networking & social aspects...
Is there a robust definition for ESRD as a trial endpoint? 6/12 weeks requiring RRT / transplantation? Many trials state โinitiation of RRTโ...opinions? Facts? Thanks in advance!

Twitter wonโt allow me to DM.I ordered an item (609236893692) & when paying told of 5 day delivery - fri 18th -which is the latest day possible as I need it as a gift for Saturday. I now get an email to say it wonโt be delivered until 23rd Jan.This is misleading and unacceptable
