- What did Hurricane Helene expose?
- How can we do better in the future? 🌀

🚨 Adjusting for average dextrose concentration, dwell time, fill volume, solute transfer rate, and number of cycles, we observed a consistent increase in UF volumes achieved per cycle (p < 0.001)
Thank you @ASNKidney360 @VUMCKidney 🙏

Would you have a treatment that could give you brain injury - or accept it for your elderly parent who may already have some cognitive impairment? If no, why is PD not used more often? @PD_Perls @rajmehrotra1122
HD treatment-related hemodynamic stress results in injury to organs. This study shows intradialytic changes in brain tissue volume, diffusion metrics, & brain metabolite concentrations consistent with ischemic injury occur in a single dialysis session bit.ly/JASN0105

Our society is offering professional help in PD education for professionals in Ukraine and the neighbouring countries who are not familiar with #PeritonealDialysis and are now having to care for PD patients who flee the war. Please reach to us for support (+ RT).
