MMF versus TAC in pediatric SSNS with FRNS and SDNS
IgA and steroids: the saga continues
Drug reps pitching you Nefecon? Catch-up with the RCT in our #TenTweetNephJC tweetorial
This week, we will discuss a phase 2 trial of the TRPC6 inhibitor BI 764198 in FSGS—an early signal for a podocyte-targeted therapy showing proteinuria reduction but set against small numbers, heterogeneity, and methodological trade-offs that frame this as direction-finding rather than definitive evidence.
This week, we will discuss why a large registry cohort was needed to move past decades of scattered case reports and clarify the true risk of hydralazine‑associated vasculitis. When rare events hide in noise, only scale can reveal the signal. Can population‑level data finally bring this paradox into focus?
