If somebody could hurry up on this, that'd be swell.
1/4 eGFR slope is now a common outcome in #IgAN trials and KDIGO has proposed a treatment target of <1 mL/min/1.73m²/year decline.
We asked: could we predict a patient’s future eGFR slope to identify risk of progression earlier?
Treatment with maximally tolerated RAASi alone does not sufficiently slow the rate of eGFR decline in high-risk patients with IgA nephropathy #IgAN, leaving patients at risk of ESKD ca. 2026 from @asnpublications.bsky.social

What happens when kidney function looks good, but something still isn’t right?
Brittany shares her journey with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) - from getting answers to treatment & finding her voice as a kidney patient
Adults with #IgAN are at greater risk of adverse kidney outcomes versus nonglomerular CKD and substantially higher risks of heart failure and death compared with no CKD ca. 2026 from @KIReports

The Sarawak Marine Fisheries Department removed about 300kg of ghost nets from trawl-blocking reef sites in Igan waters during a three-day programme from 22 to 24 September 2026.

🧬 A Phenomics commentary explores how polygenic risk scores could support earlier risk assessment and stratification in IgA nephropathy—and what is still needed before genetic risk scores enter routine clinical care.
