Very pleased to see this RCT of Pegcetacoplan in #C3G and primary #ICMPGN published because it shows evidence of a transformational effect of this treatment in people with a #RareDisease. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Now online in @ndt-era.bsky.social – this article by Prof Daniel Gale shows how RaDaR data are accelerating drug development for rare kidney diseases – informing NICE appraisals, regulatory endpoints & clinical trials for IgA nephropathy, FSGS, C3G & Alport syndrome. 📄: ow.ly/L9HK50XqqqT

In this new perspective article in #ASNJASN, authors detail a national system of iteration enabling bidirectional flow between clinical care and whole genome sequencing. Read more: kidney.pub/JASN0922#ASNJASN,@dannygale.bsky.social

Awesome work by @zornitza.bsky.social and collaborators showing the immediate value of WGS for newborn screening in a cohort of 1,000 Australian babies. Now we need larger, more diverse cohorts to show this approach can achieve population scale!

Int Society of Nephrology Glomerular Disease fellowships! Our program is not on the small ISN list but can host ISN fellows. We offer glomerular disease clinics, vasculitis clinics, genetics clinics, onconeph clinics and research opportunities. DM if interested! www.theisn.org/in-action/gr...

Thrilled to have this finally published! If you are interested in learning about the collagen IV diseases Gould syndrome and Alport syndrome, add this to your reading list. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

⚠️ The FDA has approved pegcetacoplan (Empaveli) for treating C3G and IC-MPGN. #kidneydisease #nephrology #nephsky #c3g www.docwirenews.com/post/fda-app...

Statistician wanted! The UK National Registry of Rare Kidney Diseases (RaDaR) is looking for a statistician to join our team using patient data to unlock improvements in care for people with rare kidney diseases. If you are interested click here shortlink.is/fzNsRD or message me.

Globally, 150+ rare kidney diseases affect 60–80 people per 100,000. Many are hereditary, with inherited kidney disease seen in 10% of adults & most children on #KRT. Yet, barriers to diagnosis & treatment persist, especially in LMICs. On #RareDiseaseDay, we call for action! #KidneyHealthMatters

Somehow missed this excellent VA of the RaDaR study that has changed hearts and minds in IgA Nephropathy, breaking the sound barrier of 1g/day of proteinuria as are standard for high risk of progression

Exciting progress in Alport research! 🎉 The Alport Research Hub, led by Prof. Rachel Lennon, is uniting experts and patients to improve diagnosis, treatment & care. Watch the video to learn all about The Alport Research Hub @rachellennon.bsky.social @kidneyresearchuk.org
