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.

Kidney biopsies are recommended if CNIs have to be continued > 2 yrs in children, to exclude toxicity. Side-effect profiles may drive CNI choice as gingival hyperplasia & hypertrichosis are more prevalent with cyclosporine & glucose intolerance occurs more frequently with TAC. #NephJC

Low risk of tac balanced out by real risk of infection and thrombosis in uncontrolled nephrotic syndrome. People forget that 80-90% of these kids died pre-steroid. #NephJC

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.
