This week we discuss the BiRT trial. It has long been a dogma to treat asymptomatic bacteriuria in kidney transplant recipients. Let’s upend this accepted truth by discussing the BiRT trial.
Background
This week, we will discuss the prognostic role of microvascular inflammation in kidney transplantation. Can the capillaries whisper their damage in lesions before antibodies speak? Maybe this study compels us to treat the injury we see, not just the disease we can name…
Background
This week, we will discuss another target trial emulation study. The FDA says to stop metformin at a GFR of 30. Are they right?
Background
This week, we will discuss the first iteration of KDIGO’s 2025 guidelines on ADPKD. These guidelines are a result of a decade of global collaboration between physicians, researchers, advocates, and patients. The guidelines incorporate ADPKD-specific care as well as many general CKD management practice points.
Background
This week, we will celebrate in advance World Kidney Day by discussing the results of OBInutuzumab in active lupus nephritis. The LUNAR trial (rituximab versus placebo) was “almost” positive, but not quite there. Would Obi overpower its cousin ritux? ✨
