Tony Chang, renal pathologist at UChicago Big John Green fan. I think I've read all his books #NephJC

What an amazing year with our renal path fellow, Teo Feuerhake! He returns soon to Chile with his expertise as one of the few fellowship-trained renal pathologists. We'll miss him tremendously but glad for all the kidney dz pts who will benefit

Fantastic to have Hayde Ramos from Mexico spend 3 months with our renal path service. Formed a great team with our renal path fellow, Teo Feuerhake. Times flies when you get to work with these amazing people

Our department is expanding and looking for an additional renal pathologist and another GI pathologist Apply here: t.co/ZF8Y1uhQzi and t.co/SsDNqVlIBC

Congratulations to Dr Maria Picken for being the recipient of the John Gruhn Lifetime Achievement Award!

20 years ago we would have diagnosed this as IgA nephropathy

We need to train more nephropathologists to provide the correct diagnosis so that the nephrologists can properly manage these complex patients

6/10 Give me something clever to say “I think of a smoldering AMR like a slowly growing leiomyoma/uterine fibroid. We don't use chemo and using it still might not stop its growth” by @changucanspare.bsky.social

If it takes 25-30 years to lose your first half of nephrons, it won’t take another 25-30 years to lose the second half

A serum creatinine of 1.3 mg/dL is not alarming until you realize that it probably represents ~50% nephron loss, because that's what your creatinine would be if you donated a kidney

Tony Chang Renal pathologist at U of Chicago 1st #NephJC on BlueSky for me, will be lurking Disclosure: I think active AMR mostly smolders and of course I worry that complement potentiates the pts who have worse outcomes as their DSAs fix complement

Bob Colvin, Lynn Cornell and I received our copies of the Chinese translation of our textbook Bob said he didn’t find any typos but I haven’t given up yet

SGLT2 inhibitors can have a complement inhibition effect. By @changucanspare.bsky.social at @glomcon.org

OMG - we read the kidney bxs for Brown Medicine and have interacted on several occasions with Dr. Rasha Alawieh. She's an integral member of their busy transplant nephrology team. Need to bring her back ASAP as kidney transplant patients will be harmed by this
