Team Gila Monster’s Cinderella story continues with an easy victory over Team PD First. The question remains, can anyone stop this teams poisonous defense?

Gila Monster wins 6-3

Comments from the BRP:

Gila monster is hard to beat, it can kill its opponents!”

“Whilst lizards are cool and GLP1 drugs are great, dialysis, for now and the foreseeable future, is our main business.

No surprise in this matchup. The transplant region has produced multiple prior NephMadness champions and Team Pancreas-Kidney Transplant is headed to the final round of this year’s NephMadness after an easy victory over Team Extracorporeal Therapies.

Pancreas-Kidney Transplant wins 7-2 

Comments from the BRP:

“Tough choice, but while extracorporeal therapies is who you turn to in situations like sudden death overtime, pancreas-kidney transplant is a fan favorite and increasingly versatile player for the whole game.”

“The long term gain of any form of transplantation is always hard to beat.”

Stay tuned for the NephMadness 2024 Champion announcement on April 8, 2024!
