Dr. Abinet Aklilu (@Nephronette) presented a pilot RCT of dapagliflozin vs usual care in HF-associated AKI at #KidneyWk! n=30. Favorable trends in decongestion (⬆️ UOP, ⬇️ diuretic need) & AKI recovery, ⬇️ K repletion, & no safety signal. A larger trial is needed & coming. 👏

Congratulations to our program director Dr. Ursula Brewster, honored at #KidneyWk2026 for her year as Chair of the ASN Workforce and Training Committee. Growing the nephrology pipeline is slow work, and she has been at it for a long time. Could not be more proud!
