⚠️ eGFR equations use a sex/gender covariate. ⁉️However whether to use sex assigned at birth or gender identity in transgender and gender-diverse adults using gender-affirming hormone therapy 🏳️‍⚧️ is unclear. ✅We set out to answer this: Kidney International bit.ly/3WZJsLe

Congratulations to Brandon Pattar on securing a spot in the American Society of Nephrology TREK (Tutored Research and Education for Kidney Scholars) program! This is a testament to your hard work and dedication.

The scientific study of sex differences is not ‘woke gender ideology’; it's fundamental to improving the health of all humans, says @SofiaAhmedMD, WCHRI women's health research lead and University of Alberta Chair in #SexAndGender, in an editorial condemning U.S. research funding cuts.

Exciting new research alert! Brandon Pattar's latest paper, "Sex differences in the association between albuminuria and vascular health in individuals living with chronic kidney disease," is published in Current Research in Physiology. Check it out sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
