Amazing how closely the crowd and Blue Ribbon panel voted. Only three exceptions really (EU/US hyponatremia guidelines, culture-negative peritonitis/catheter-dysfunction in PD, and gadolinium/ iodinated contrast in CKD 4). Probably can't call it a #BlueRibbonFail #NephMadness

It's not surprising that we often get it wrong relying on traditional volume measures when we think about the margins involved - UF volume equalling total plasma volume. As much as I love clinical examination, if old school progresses it will be a #BlueRibbonFail. #NephMadness

2. Is this surprising? Hypertension has form in #NephMadness, with JNC8 beating the KDIGO Hypertension guidelines in 2014 and ultimately progressing to overall winner. In 2016 hypertension for CKD beat CVD in a #BlueRibbonFail (where’s the data?). US beat EU last year

The biggest #BlueRibbonFail of #NephMadness is CAR-T. Very cool immunology, perhaps useful in extremely severe autoimmunity, but overall impact on nephrology? Next to nil. Too toxic, too hard to scale.

#nephMadness looks like PRO will win after all. 🤦🏻♂️ I truly hope that the driving stimulus for the selection was not political correctness. For ESRD care, yes PRO. But for CKD progression?? Plz. #whatajoke #letsgetreal #beingofftarget #blueribbonfail

A #BlueRibbonPanel member said “I’ve never seen eculizumab play”?? OMG. We are talking about one of the new 7 wonders in nephrology here. A promising thing was chosen over an existing miracle drug? Utterly incomprehensible. Complete and catastrophic #BlueRibbonFail #NephMadness

ICIs over nonsteroidal MRAs is an absolute travesty. You can argue with the merits of finerenone vs spironolactone but not with the impact on CKD therapy. #nephmadness #BlueRibbonFail

This is a real travesty #nephmadness #blueribbonfail. The question isn’t what side of the fence you’re on, it’s what’s going to impact the field and you can’t argue that the new papers, methodology flaws or not, haven’t spurred discussion/re-examining of a tenet of Nephrology

yea, agreed… we chose Natural Disasters because the #BlueRibbonPanel often has a strong US bias… makes sense given the platform though.

They do incremental in PD though, so why not in HD too… for ppl who aren’t eligible for PD.

see?!?, HDF is #UNCONVINCING & old news.. & why incremental dialysis *will* advance in the #NephMadness bracket!!
For middle molecules, Hdx MCO- expanded HD therapy w/ medium cut-off membrane- potentially results in better clinical outcomes than HDF, 👀🤓😀

Remember the #NephMadness 2021 huge #BlueRibbonFail when the Implantable Bioartificial Kidney team was Champion?
It will feel like that again if the BRPanel picks renal denervation rather than the meds. with the GLP1 inhibitors.
