The #NephJC chat on IgA nephropathy and the significance of crescents was quite exciting, and we were fortunate to have Dr Jonathan Barratt, one of the authors, join us for the EU chat. Thanks again to JASN for providing full text access!
Background
This week, we will discuss SODaBIC trial: with ICU acidosis driven by multiple overlapping mechanisms, is bicarbonate infusion supported by robust evidence, or does it persist mainly out of habit rather than physiology?
Background
FIND-CKD extends finerenone beyond diabetic kidney disease, showing slower eGFR decline and sustained albuminuria reduction in non-diabetic CKD. While the benefits are modest and cardiovascular effects remain uncertain, the trial opens the door to broader use of nsMRAs and raises important questions about combination therapy with SGLT2 inhibitors.
Background
Can rivaroxaban improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with advanced CKD.? Although vascular inflammation and thrombosis are at the heart of CV damage, anticoagulants have not previously shown benefits in CVD patients.
Background
This week, NephJC will discuss whether obinutuzumab is ready to outperform tacrolimus in primary membranous nephropathy
