NephMadness 2019 draws to a close with Team US HTN Guideline entering the NephMadness Court of Champions:

We finally exceeded the 1,000-entry threshold with a grand total of 1,393 bracket submissions that were entered in Year 7 of NephMadness.

We were delighted to see the growth in Twitter participation, and greatly enjoyed all the banter and trashtalking this year!

Our favorite part of NephMadness 2019 was seeing all the NephMadnessParties – you Nephrons sure know how to party!

After announcing the 2019 Champion and Winners, we would like to take a moment to say THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this year’s NephMadness a reality (apologies in advance if we inadvertently missed anyone):
