ellows were randomly selected for participation in a roundtable. Virtual roundtable discussions preceded by a survey were conducted to gather information on the delivery of vascular access education. Descriptive statistics were employed for analysis. Results: Among the respondents invited to the roundtable discussions, 42 individuals (30 faculty, 12 fellows) completed the survey, while 21 individuals (13 faculty, 8 fellows) also participated in the roundtable discussion. Of these respondents, a majority (67%) of didactic lectures on vascular access in fellowship programs were delivered by general nephrologists, with 57% provided by interventional nephrologists, 36% by surgeons and 17% by interventional radiologists (respondents were able to select multiple disciplines). The respondents reported limited exposure to proceduralists, including interventional nephrologists and vascular access surgeons during fellowship training. Faculty and fellows were less comfortable with physical examin

alized in kidney pathology from 2009 to 2023. We also performed a non-systematic literature review on cases described in the literature. Results: Kidney biopsy was used to define the diagnosis of all patients. The average time to diagnosis after transplantation was 32.9 months. The most prevalent symptoms were fever, macroscopic hematuria, and dysuria. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) reduced on average four times in relation to the baseline GFR. The main findings of kidney biopsy were acute tubular necrosis (100%), necrotizing granulomatous interstitial nephritis (100%) and viral inclusions (100%). The therapies used were human immunoglobulins, antivirals, and reduction of immunosuppression. The clinical course was favorable in six of the seven patients. Our literature review found 44 cases of adenovirus interstitial nephritis, and the outcome was favorable in the majority of reported cases. Conclusions: Adenovirus interstitial nephritis is a rare condition, but with important imp

In this perspective, the authors argue that nephrologists should use initial follow-up encounters after urgent initiation of dialysis to check in with patients regarding whether dialysis is supporting their goals of care. https://t.co/3yVWBhRBwg #ASNKidney360

Mashup Score: 22Impact of Race on Transplantation in Autosomal Dominant... : Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology - 25 day(s) ago
ined long-term outcomes of ADPKD-ESKD patients by self-reported race, with attention to the trajectory of Estimated Post-Transplant Survival (EPTS) scores over time. Methods: United Network for Organ Sharing Standard Transplant Analysis and Research files were used to identify 32,611 ADPKD transplant recipients between 1/2000-12/2022. EPTS scores were calculated from the date of waitlisting until transplantation occurred. Cumulative incidences of living and deceased transplantation were calculated and plotted. Cox models were made for graft failure and death, and a sub-distribution hazards model for graft failure accounted for death as a competing outcome, with adjustment for patient, donor, and transplant factors. Results: Compared to White ADPKD patients, all other groups had more dialysis years, more delayed graft function, and fewer living and pre-emptive transplants; mean EPTS scores were lower in African American (AA) and Hispanic patients at each timepoint on the waitlist.
