This week, we will discuss the HIT trial- a large randomized study challenging one of the most reflexive responses in hospital medicine: see hyponatremia, fix the sodium. But what if correcting the number doesn’t change what actually matters?
This week, we will discuss the use of renal autologous cell therapy (REACT) in diabetic kidney disease.
This week, we will discuss 2026 KDIGO anemia management in patients with kidney disease
Hyponatremia is one of the most common electrolyte disorders in hospitalized patients and is consistently linked to worse outcomes. Correcting sodium improves the numbers—but does it improve short-term clinical outcomes?

REACT has landed to NephJC.
This time we explore rilparencel, an autologous kidney cell therapy injected directly into the renal cortex to slow kidney function decline in DKD and advanced CKD.
Is this the future of regenerative nephrology?

Anemia remains a central challenge in chronic kidney disease, influencing quality of life, cardiovascular risk, and clinical outcomes. The updated KDIGO 2026 guideline provides practical recommendations on iron management, ESAs, HIF-PHIs, and transfusion strategies, emphasizing individualized care and risk–benefit assessment.

SGLT2i have reshaped cardiorenal care, but kidney transplant recipients have mostly been left out of the story. INFINITI starts to close that gap, testing the safety and physiology of dapagliflozin in stable KTR.

The VALIANT phase 3 RCT shows that proximal C3 inhibition with pegcetacoplan leads to a significantly greater reduction in proteinuria compared with placebo in patients with C3G and primary immune-complex MPGN. This trial builds on prior upstream complement strategies and strengthens the case for disease-targeted therapy in C3G.
