These are not FDA approved yet - this trial + VISIONARY for Sibeprenlimab will lead to approval soon

Approved =
Nefecon
Atrasentan
Sparsentan
Iptacopan

Clinical importance of prediction tools: 🔬
The prediction tool was developed with the data from 4000 people in multinational and multiracial cohorts and can be generalized to all.
Do you routinely use prediction tools with IgAN patients? #NephJC

Treatment in children: 👶💉
Management is based on RAS blockade, salt restriction, and blood pressure control. Glucocorticoids are used in those with persistent proteinuria or high-risk features, sometimes combined with cyclophosphamide in severe cases.

Everything said and done - although eGFR diff may signal ominous outcomes - practically speaking following one eGFR over time and seeing the eGFR fall predicts outcomes better than anything else ! And that’s what would be feasible across economies ! #NephJC

From Rivka Galchen’s article in @newyorker.com:

“The kidney, a tremendously under-celebrated organ, basically does four-dimensional sudoku with ions.”

And that’s how I’m going to explain it from now on.

I do the same with any agent. Treat for 2 years then try off. If relapse, then another 2 years. #NephJc I don’t think there’s great data. Just seems a good balance of risk.

DDAvP will increase VWF levels but in an uremic mileu does it really help towards platelets adhesion?
#NephJC

Would make sense to check VWF otherwise hard to prove anything unless they compare with their previous institutional cohort

So how does DDAVP skip the bleeding drama? 🩸
🧬 Desmopressin → triggers cAMP → exocytosis of vWF & FVIII from endothelium
➡️ Boosts platelet adhesion in uremic dysfunction
⏱️ Onset: 30–90 min ⏳ Duration: 4–8 h

We used to do pre procedure DDAVP for abnormal PFA’s, mostly in CKD/ uremic kids

After listening to this podcast, i might be a convert now!
Genetic counseling might be more important than sending genetic testing!!

Love the science behind anti-nephrin Ab but
35% AA have one risk allele for APOL-1 & 14% have 2 risk alleles!

Those r huge number of people predisposed to AMKD!

IMO, it will be the winner , it has to🤣
