Yeah - on one end more and more drugs are entering the playfield, and on the other end where Nefecon and most of the “effective” agents aren’t even available!

And there is widespread drug misuse esp with steroids, and I feel it’ll further increase coz the KDIGO says so.

Yes again - there are so many disease specific mechanisms of Flozins in IgA which maybe different from other CKDs and their exact science of benefit is not tapped yet

Have a doubt - will it be sent to India !?

Each time I see @nephroseeker.medsky.social with the other mug - I wish to get it too ☕️

Yes. My exact sentiments.
Probably what made IgAN bad for so long was the fact that they were not treated adequately with mechanism specific agents.

However the question of bombarding someone with some proteinuria and almost normal renal functions with steroids (Pred) seems radical 😅

Yes my exact opinion, guidelines may be evolving and improving but what happens in reality?

Our patients either come with a creat of 8,
Or they’re loaded with steroids for quite long without even SGLT2i or ARBs many times, and they’re just victims of therapeutic misadventure.
Sorry state. #NephJC

Yes, it’s the the guideline got an upgrade and it’s already old 😭

In India, IgA nephropathy care suffers from unregulated drug use, slow adoption of new therapies, and underuse of effective non-immune options. #NephJC

Again at our centre too we give it coz it’s cheap and “for whatever it’s worth” - but mostly it isn’t worth anything at all.
