Benefits may vary, and results in the general population on CV risk and mortality are still
controversial.
Overall, the results of recent studies have been mixed results. Different study populations,
end points and dosing may account for the lack of clarity. #NephJC

Currently joining in from Taiwan 🇹🇼 - here for the APCN !

Honestly, most of my CKD patients are poor and I’ve been guilty of stopping some of their randomly prescribed fish oil because it costed them a whale!

#NephJC editorial team debated for a long time...not whether to discuss @kdigo.org IgAN guidelines, but whether to do it after #Kidneywk...Have we said it well: IgAN guidelines: fresh out of press, already aging gracefully?
👀See it for yourself

CKD & Protein: Is Your Diet a Solution or a Silent Stressor? 🥩🔍
On October 14, we're discussing protein diets and outcomes in CKD/ESRD which still remains an enigma. ☀️📚 #NephJC

Final #NephJC thoughts 🤔💭
While the study was a success, it is still a harsh reality that there exist many barriers to even getting a transplant. Much work is needed to safely simplify the procedure and make being IS - free a reliable reality for all kidney transplant patients!

#NephJC Quote of the fortnight from @brianrifkin.bsky.social 💬
Immune tolerance is nice, but unpredictable and requires constant vigilance to prevent rejection.
Would modifying graft kidneys to make them less antigenic be a better bet?

Chat consensus? 🎬
Although the study shows that the MDR-101 regimen induces chimerism and functional immune tolerance in HLA-matched living donor KTRs leading to complete IS elimination, it is far from being widely applicable. It’s too costly and works only in highly HLA matched KTRs.

Give me something clever to say 🤓
Here’s what caught my attention!
@kidneyboy.bsky.social comparing life on dialysis vs pig transplant 🐖+ IS vs Live donor transplant 🫘and IS free! Definitely stuff worthy of a sci-fi movie! 👽

A figure paints 🖼️ 1000 words!
KDQOL-SF36 data showed huge improvement in Burden of Kidney Disease and Mental Health Composite Scores at two and three years when patients were off IS. This demonstrates that even low-dose IS negatively impacts patient quality of life. 🙆💊

One post results 📊
75% (15/20) of KTRs achieved functional immune tolerance (IS-free for two years) using the mixed chimerism strategy with MDR-101💉
The study showed 100% patient/graft survival and zero GVHD cases over three years, with improved quality of life. 4/20 KTRs resumed IS. #NephJC

One Post Methods 👩🏫
Phase 3, prospective, open-label, randomized, multicenter trial - USA/Canada. Included kidney transplant recipients (KTR) from a 2-haplotype HLA-matched, living donors.
Primary outcome - functional immune tolerance - staying off all IS for at least 24 months. 💊

What’d I miss?
Transplant immunosuppression (IS) causes significant drug toxicities, infection, cancer risks & huge costs 💸. “Functional tolerance” is a state in which the recipient’s immune system accepts the graft without additional IS. It has remained the "Holy grail" of transplant! #NephJC

Welcome to #TenPostNephJC
Last #NephJC we discussed tolerance induction in HLA matched 🫘 transplants with donor Hematopoietic stem cells (MDR-101).
Missed the Chimeri-chat? No worries - We’re quite “tolerant” to those who missed their IS(Informative Session)!
