  • Hi. I'm Dr. Joshua Schwimmer,
    a nephrologist and internal medicine physician in New York City.
  • KidneyNotes was the first active nephrology blog. (Trivia: KidneyNotes is so old that the National Library of Medicine still uses it as an example of how to formally cite blogs.)
  • For the latest updates in nephrology, check out Nephrogram.com.
  • Professionally, you can find me at Kidney.nyc.
  • Thanks for visiting.
