Useful information about membranous nephropathy recurrence in transplant in the modern era. Cumulative risk 31% at 10 years. Measuring anti-PLA2r Ab pretransplant, and ritux for recurrence seem sensible. amjtransplant.org/article/S1…

Data just do not support sick day rules
They are fashionable nonsense

This is my dad ❤️ in 2003 he donated his kidney to me in a very high risk & sadly unsuccessful transplant (his kidney was perfect but my body hates them 🙄). About to turn 80 he still puts me through my paces skiing - total legend! #livingorgandonationawareness #livingorgandonor

For decades, beta blockers have been used routinely after heart attacks.
A new randomized trial in people with preserved pump function (EF>50%) shows they're unnecessary, unhelpful
