Sorry will remain a dream for a while!

We may have network meta-analysis - or will have to wait for them to go generic for an NIH (if NIH will even exist) or some other public funding body to do those trials

outdated or not, it's amazing how in just a few short years, we’ve moved from purely ‘supportive’ care to therapies that actually work. What a time to be in nephrology! #nephJC

Coming from a country where these meds aren’t even available yet, I have to admit... I’m a little envious on behalf of my patients #nephJC

In biopsy-based studies, IgAN is the most frequent primary GN here #NephJC

Glad to be here!
We do <1g.
IgAN is the most common GN we identify and they are quite aggressive.
Still hoping for Nefecon to be available soon #NephJC

We had a lot of discussion with Barratt at his rounds on this.

His point is that
- early diagnosis/identification early in disease process will be key
- we do have specific treatment options available now (or will soon have)
- just RASi and Flozins without biopsy just masks the issue

Unfortunately, in my part of the world, Nefecon is currently unavailable. This is still the regimen we follow. #NephJC
