@rnflex.bsky.socialCan an oral small molecule provide renal and cardiovascular benefits just like the injectable GLP1 meds? The answer is probably so! New blog post today about Achieve 4 and it's CV trial that was presented at EASD. They also looked at it's renal benefits. So shout-out to #NephJC as well.

@nephjc.bsky.socialCan tolvaptan keep up with 3% saline?
This within-subject study in healthy volunteers delivered a surprising answer - and a few eyebrow-raising physiology twist. Dive in #NephJC

@nephjc.bsky.social8/10 ⚠️ #NephJC Consensus
💡Underpowered (94/114 target, ~75% power), open-label, 2 center trial, wide margin (CI compatible w/ ~14 extra relapses/100 pts short-course), and FSGS trended toward favoring the longer taper underpowered subgroup
💡Hypothesis-generating only

Question 2
#NephJC #NephTwitter
Q: Can MCD & FSGS receive similar steroid taper regimens?
A: Probably not! We need a more adequately powered trial to answer this, especially with FSGS which remains more treatment resistant & steroid resistance may be disease defining
@nephjc.bsky.social6/10
Question 1
#NephJC #Nephsky or #NephTwitter
Q: Should we stop steroids quickly in all podocytopathies?
A: Probably not, but this gives us evidence that we should explore this further in larger trial, as less steroids has less AE exposure, but also without more relapses

@divyaveerssneph.bsky.social📢 The New #NephJC VA just dropped in !!!
@kireports.bsky.social
It's a study from @PGINEPHRO and I am a co-author🤩
Thanks to Dr. Raja Ramachandran, Dr. Arun
After obtaining remission, 2 months is non inferior to standard 4 months steroid tapering in podocytopathy.

@farahwehbe92.bsky.social
@manoleaandreea.bsky.social@nephjc.bsky.socialSteroids are useful (and have bad side effects) in patients with podocytopathies.
Starting is easy, but stopping can be challenging.
Are longer courses of steroids better for longer remissions? How quickly do you taper? 🐇🐢

@nephjc.bsky.socialHey #NephJC 👋

This week we're looking at steroid weaning strategies in adults with podocytopathies (MCD/FSGS).
💊Steroids: easy to start🟢 but hard to stop 🛑.

@rnflex.bsky.socialWe're in a revolution not only with GLP-1 meds, but also drugs that are kidney protective. It appears we can add orforglipron an oral GLP-1 small molecule to the list of kidney protective in diabetes. This data will be presented in full at EASD in 10 days. This is an eye opening graph #NephJC
