In order to help the NCAA build some excitement eAJKD is running its own tournament. We are pitting the greatest achievements in nephrology against each other to determine the greatest nephrology advancement.
Today, on Selection Sunday we are releasing the brackets and seeding. We know there are bubble achievements that missed entry, I’m looking at you CRIC study (we tried to find a place for you, honestly) and how could we snub renal sympathetic nerve ablation? Please air all grievances in the comments below.
Download the brackets as a powerpoint or PDF go through and make your picks. Then email your brackets to NephMadness@cluemail.com or take a picture with your phone and post them to twitter. Remember to tag all tweets #NephMadness
