Welcome to the RVX Hub bionug. Sorry I didn't get to welcome you sooner, kids and company over the holiday took priority.

I agree with you as well that the % CKD patients in BETonMACE was much lower than the trials it was designed around. Asking why this discrepancy exists would be a good question for someone to ask DM or the scientists when we get the next opportunity.

Please take a minute to review the Welcome page that BearDownAZ has put together for new and experienced posters alike in the Link Library that you can find on the left side of this page. Bear has been so busy adding to the Link Library lately that you will now find that Welcome Note on page 6 or 7 of that Library. You can find all kinds of information in there including links to articles, posts, written presentations that were made at AGM's and other presentations and some outstanding comments made by some posters that went above and beyond what is normally posted. The info in the Link Library is not only about posts that members have made but about the science we are in and corporate events as well.  

Please take a minute when reading other posts to either Recommend and or Rate those posts and posters. If you see a post that you feel would be beneficial for others to read please click on the Recommend button on the bottom right side of that post while you are signed in. It is also a curtesy to click on the Recommend button to acknowledge the time that someone took to answer a question you may have asked. You can also Rate a post by clicking on one of the 5 blue stars at the top center of someone’s post while logged in. The rating system is on a 1 to 5-star basis, 5 for great job you have put some time, effort and thought into that, and 1 for maybe you should go back to the drawing board. Of course, there is always the other stars in the middle that work as well.

We look forward to having you participate on the RVX board in the future.
