We likely will have to treat IgA patients differently based on their disease timeline. New, flaring patients need upstream treatment, chronic patients that have damage that can’t be unfibrosed need a different therapy plan. There are plenty of patients for all our therapy options. #nephjc

So much hidden ckd out there. Luckily most of them should be getting RAASi and SGLT2i even if the prescribers don’t recognize the benefit
