Faculty Spotlight: Associate Program Director, @rvlevy !! She completed her Med/Peds nephrology fellowship at Montefiore-Eistein. Her research interests include practice variation care in AYA w/ CKD. While she isn’t geeking out over nephrons she enjoys being a mom and embroidery

Hope this editorial on the genetics of FSGS in Black kiddos is of interest to someone other than me :) @AJKDonline ajkd.org/article/S0272-6386%…

Genetics of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis in African American Children

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a histologic diagnosis based on kidney biopsy findings of focal and segmental scarring of the glomeruli, with minimal immune deposits. Patients with FSGS...

CKD is a major health problem & the risk of CKD & hypertension in children born low birth weight (LBW) is under-recognized. Read this Original Article on children born w/LBW & the prevalence of reduced kidney function & hypertension. Authors used NHANES. link.springer.com/article/10…

Metabolic acidosis (MA) is linked to alterations in bone quality. This study found that MA in CKD is linked to diminishing bone mineral content, cortical expansion, & deterioration of trabecular microarchitecture, particularly in females bit.ly/JASN085 @rvlevy
Box plots showing bone mineralization density distribution (BMDD) measurements in trabecular (a-e) and cortical (f-j) bone for acidotic and nonacidotic participants including (a, f) CaMean which is the weighted mean Caconcentration of the bone area; (b, g) CaPeak which is the histogram peak position (indicating the most frequently measured calcium concentration); (c, h) CaWidth which is the full width at half maximum of the distribution (describing the variation in mineralization density); (d, i) CaLow which is the percentage of low mineralized bone (i.e. bone areas having a calcium content of <5th percentile of our reference BMDD); and (e, j) CaHigh which is the percentage of highly mineralized bone areas (i.e. bone areas having a calcium content of >95th percentile of our reference BMDD).The center line represents the median, with the box outlining the interquartile range and whiskers showing minimum & maximum.

I bring out this quote to my more “centrist” moderate friends every year on MLK day and point out their feckless political views are exactly who he was talking about.

Low-key appreciate @Ask_Spectrum for not fixing our downed internet today - hopefully this means employees are home with family. Conversely, less than impressed at @UPS sending drivers out in a winter storm yesterday - no one’s late-stage capitalism purchases are that important
