Karl's defense of his PhD thesis was really great today, and he did a fantastic job. There was an interesting and very good discussion with the opponent, Prof. Luqmani. Thank you very much. @Vasculitis_Lund

I had the pleasure of commenting on this excellent AAV subclassification study with @AKronbichler ✨ published in @TheLancetRheum. By the way, this is my first paper with my new affiliation, and it comes just in time for my birthday! 😌 @ynptweets

Karl Gisslander et al. identified 5 clusters of AAV, 3 of which characterized by kidney involvement. Compared with clinical diagnosis or ANCA status, cluster-based models showed improved predictive power for both patient and kidney survival. @fairvasc @TheLancetRheum

Happy and proud to announce that our recent paper on clusters in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) was published yesterday in The Lancet Rheumatology. Using an unprecedented large cohort of 3,868 patients, we confirmed that AAV is not merely a binary construct! @fairvasc

Important new study from @fairvasc @Vasculitis_Lund @Vasculitis_HL @kiplet69 and many others re-defining AAV subtypes by using close to 4,000 patients with GPA and MPA! @TheLancetRheum

A big thank you for @RCSEd, was honoured to receive the Syme medal for work supporting my PhD thesis. Couldn’t have achieved this without everyone’s mentorship and support, particularly @ewenharrison @EeHRN, the @GlobalSurg community and family 1/

Replying to @cheekaycheung
@cheekaycheung highlighting the dilemma for lupus nephritis, how aggressively to treat proliferative disease. With an increasing menu of treatments we need head to head experimental medicine trials and better bio markers to predict who will respond #ukkw2024

It's been a wonderful 21st International Vasculitis Workshop in Barcelona @VasculitisBCN24 And the big news: in 2026 - the 22nd Workshop will be hosted by @anzvasc in Melbourne! We are excited and will do everything we can to host a great interactive workshop. See you in 2026!
