🤔 How often is end-stage kidney disease in patients with MCD/ FSGS? #NephSky #MedSky @brianrifkin.bsky.social dissected the conclusions from the RaDar study in this #NephJCshorts *the original article from @asnpublications.bsky.social www.nephjc.com/news/nephjc-...

Everything said and done - although eGFR diff may signal ominous outcomes - practically speaking following one eGFR over time and seeing the eGFR fall predicts outcomes better than anything else ! And that’s what would be feasible across economies ! #NephJC

The #NephJC editorial team knows that plenty of papers deserve attention between our bi-monthly, full-length discussions ✨Enter #NephJCShorts - quick hits with a critical eye 🦅 on high-impact reads www.nephjc.com/news/nephjc-... #MedSky #NephSky

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.

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.

Congrats to all the @asnkidney.bsky.social lifetime and mid-career awardees! @ksusztak.bsky.social @genetickidneydoc.bsky.social @shinamenon.bsky.social @michellejtx.bsky.social and everyone else!

DDAvP will increase VWF levels but in an uremic mileu does it really help towards platelets adhesion? #NephJC

Would make sense to check VWF otherwise hard to prove anything unless they compare with their previous institutional cohort # NephJC

T0c So how does DDAVP skip the bleeding drama? 🩸 🧬 Desmopressin → triggers cAMP → exocytosis of vWF & FVIII from endothelium ➡️ Boosts platelet adhesion in uremic dysfunction ⏱️ Onset: 30–90 min ⏳ Duration: 4–8 h #NephJC

We used to do pre procedure DDAVP for abnormal PFA’s, mostly in CKD/ uremic kids # NephJC

#NephMadness party ✅ Were there cookies? ❌ Was it a great discussion? ✅✅ Some were resistant, some needed incremental push, lot of disasters and conflicts, but finally convinced!!🤣🤣🤣 @nephmadness.bsky.social Genetics in FSGS 🏆

After listening to this podcast, i might be a convert now! Genetic counseling might be more important than sending genetic testing!! @nephmadness.bsky.social #NephMadness

Love the science behind anti-nephrin Ab but 35% AA have one risk allele for APOL-1 & 14% have 2 risk alleles! Those r huge number of people predisposed to AMKD! IMO, it will be the winner , it has to🤣 @nephmadness.bsky.social

Are you a patient with Alport syndrome? The 2025 In-Person Alport Connect meeting will be in Chicago on July 19-20th. Child and teen programming available. See you there! alportsyndrome.org/for-patients...

On it! @nephmadness.bsky.social party Tuesday! Reading in process!! #NephMadness #NephSky

APOL1 versus Anti-nephrin!! Loving it #NephMadness

So excited for this topic!! #NephMadness 2025

Dr Hugh McCarthy: What if we did genetic testing on all children with ESKD? Chinese study shows hit rate of 46.7% #IPNA2025 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39363361/

Dr Julien Hogan presents results of RCT in children with FR nephrotic syndrome treated with Rituximab +/- IVIG. Result: Addition of IVIG showed no benefit on relapse free survival. #IPNA2025

Can’t even!! ☀️🌞🌻❄️☃️

Was great to be back! #NephJC after 40 min, figured out deck.blue :-)) Thanks @verner-venegas.bsky.social

The current study brings to light that aldosterone production, independent of renin and AG II, is a continuum with potentially many people below the threshold of the classic phenotypic findings seen in primary aldosteronism. #NephJC

Similar to SPRINT/ESPRIT/BPROAD, in peds nephrology we may target lower than normotension (ie less than 95%tile). In one using CkID dataset there was a differentiation between glomerular vs nonglomerular #NephJC www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...
