Observational trials suggest that acetaminophen increases BP, but (unlike NSAIDs) the widespread impression remains of a safe first-line therapy for chronic pain. The largest previous RCT had n=33.

We need more kidneys to transplant, hence the University of Alabama is running xenotransplant research.
Porcine kidney transplantation into humans has been tried before, but this is the first study to report no hyperacute rejection.

Previous observational studies analysing outcomes by eGFR at point of dialysis initiation suffered from immortal time bias, survivor bias, and lead time bias. This trial used clever new statistical methods to avoid these flaws!

The NSMC is a free, one-year, remote internship where you will learn how to make infographics, run a #NephJC twitter chat, create #Tweetorials, and record, edit and publish a podcast.
We take applications for only a few weeks in December and early January. Most interns are Nephrology Fellows or early career faculty, but we have had full professors, nurses, residents, a medical student, basic scientists, dietitians, all complete the experience.
