#NephMadness 2021: Call for Topic Suggestions

Posted on July 2, 2020 by AJKDblog in NephMadness // 1 Comment

It’s that time again when we start planning for NephMadness 2021, and we’d like to hear from you! Which nephrology topics would you like to see in next year’s tournament?

We’ve had great fun and success crowdsourcing topic ideas in the past:

SGLT2 inhibitors should have an automatic entry into the Neph Madness bracket (can already predict a win for it 😉, but then the blue ribbon panel never fails 😁

— Aisha Shaikh (@aishaikh) June 21, 2019

Spoiler alert: @asishaikh was right – SGLT2i Without Diabetes was the NephMadness 2020 champion!

Ethical issues in nephrology: organ transplantation in the opioid epidemic vs ethical issues in dialysis decision-making
Pros/cons of some aspects of precision nephrology: using biopsy biobanks, genetics/genomics in CKD

— Devika Nair (@devimol) June 21, 2019

We present: ETHICS Region (and @devimol ended up writing this post!)

Green nephrology! We're having a massive environmental impact 😞

Agreed, so here’s the GREEN NEPHROLOGY region!
