Thank you to the #ESCcongress and #ERA for inviting me to speak in this high-yield session on managing #albuminuria. It was an honor to speak alongside Professors Gansevoort, Wanner, and Swift. #kidneyinCVD @bumedicine.bsky.social @bmchealthsystem.bsky.social @escardio.bsky.social

I’m very proud of this work and our efforts to make albuminuria evaluation and management accessible to primary care clinicians. Thank you to @ashunephro.bsky.social and our co-authors for the mentorship, and to the @bmj.com for supporting our work!

Headline: Albuminuria: The "Silent" Risk We Can’t Afford to Miss in Primary Care I am excited to share our latest article, published today in @bmj.com led by @sophieclaudel.bsky.social : "Assessment and management of albuminuria in adults." bmj.com/cgi/content/...

I’m extremely honored to have been chosen as one of this year’s STAT Wunderkinds and grateful for the incredible support of my mentors @ashunephro.bsky.social and Sus Waikar!! @bu_bmc_renal 🎉 #nephsky www.statnews.com/wunderkinds/

Cumulative Incidence of Mortality (CKM) syndrome stages 1 to 4 are associated with a graded risk of cardiovascular mortality in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. https://bit.ly/JASN0637 #ASNJASN @ashunephro.bsky.social @sophieclaudel.bsky.social

Learned quite a lot about interactions, thresholds, and synergistic effects from @ashunephro.bsky.social in this analysis of albuminuria, heart failure, and CKD progression. Our findings emphasize albuminuria as a key biomarker for CKM health. 🫘 @jaccjournals.bsky.social #NephSky

Ashish Verma@ashunephro.bsky.social · 2y ago

Delighted to share our study published in @jaccjournals.bsky.social led by @sophieclaudel.bsky.social. We demonstrated deleterious synergy between albuminuria and heart failure as risk factors for CKD progression. www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/...

Thank you @danieljdrucker.bsky.social !!

Extremely grateful to @ahascience.bsky.social and @ashunephro.bsky.social for the opportunity to publish this comprehensive review on albuminuria in #Circulation. We cover albuminuria in the spectrum of #CKM disorders. Please take a look! @nephjc.bsky.social #NephSky

Very proud of our #BMCimRes internal medicine residents for coming up with this project idea and seeing it through to publication! We looked at current statin prescribing practices for young adults in the US and their CVD risk. authors.elsevier.com/a/1khiu2gOwG...

Excited to share this research letter looking at albuminuria values in healthy adults! We followed IFCC guidelines for establishing references ranges, which had not previously been shown in the literature, and consider what “normal” should be by sex.

Ashish Verma@ashunephro.bsky.social · 2y ago

We sought to quantify the upper limit of normal for albuminuria among US adults by the IFCC standard. Our study led by @sophieclaudel.bsky.social “Albuminuria References Ranges in Healthy US Adults” academic.oup.com/jalm/advance...

Very proud of this project that started as a casual conversation on #CKM syndrome with @ashunephro.bsky.social over a year ago and is now in print at #JASN! Couldn’t have done it without @ashunephro.bsky.social teaching me about cumulative incidence curves in #NHANES.

The US DOT says it's planning to prioritize areas with high marriage & high birth rates for funding. Our new analysis @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows this would disproportionately fund: —Communities with a higher white resident share —Low-density areas —High-income areas —Car-dependent areas

DOT’s Plan to Distribute Funding by Birth and Marriage Rates Would Leave Communities Most In Need Behind

If enacted, the new US Department of Transportation memo would prioritize funding to whiter, higher-income, more car-dependent areas over communities of color and people who walk, bike, or take public...

Hyperaldosteronism in CKD (and CVD) is something I’ve been trying to learn more about recently. Hoping to join tonight! #nephjc

Nephrology Journal Club@nephjc.bsky.social · 2y ago

Think primary aldosteronism means hypertension, hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis...think again. Can undercover hyperaldosteronism be a key to CKD?🔎 #NephJC chat 2/11/25 at 9pm EST #NephSky www.nephjc.com/news/primary...

Very proud of this work! Thanks to @ashunephro.bsky.social and co-mentors for their support of this project
