New analysis of the ASCEND-ND trial:
Iron deficiency defined by low TSAT, but not low ferritin levels, is associated with increased risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death in CKD, independent of hemoglobin.

*Late-breaking clinical trials announced for @ERAkidney*
Looking forward to sharing main results from FIND‑CKD, plus:
- Detailed analyses of effects in ~900 pts with glomerular disease
- An IPD meta‑analysis across the spectrum of CKD

💫 2025 was a landmark year for glomerular diseases!
Major advances for GN treatment, from IgAN and lupus nephritis to rare diseases like C3G.
Can’t wait for what’s coming next!
And the eGFR outcomes!
Hope these new treatment options are soon available in our countries.

A nephrologist gives a kidney, receives hope.
Very inspiring! A true shero and one of my favorite people in the world... 🙌

Fantastic to see CONFIDENCE trial results presented at #ERA25 and in @NEJM
Prevention of CV events, esp. heart failure, is probably most compelling rationale for rapid initiation of combo therapy in CKD/T2D, with benefits on kidney failure accruing gradually over time
More than 50% reduction in uacr with combo and about 30% with each component that is empagliflozin and finerenone. Time to consider simultaneous initiation of combination therapy in ckd and t2d as in hfref and stage 2 hypertension.
Schematic view illustrating the events leading to crescent 🌙 formation #Nephpearls
(a) Normal glomerulus
(b) Glomerular disease leads to gaps or holes in the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), resulting in
(c) proliferation of parietal epithelial cells and ultimately
(d) fibrocellular crescent formation

Pooled analysis of DAPA-HF & DELIVER:
📍730 pts (6.7%) had severe HF 📍Dapagliflozin ⬇️ risk in both severe (HR 0.73) & nonsevere HF (HR 0.79) 📍NNT = 14 📍Safe, effective across LVEF

Rationale and Design of the RENAL LIFECYCLE Trial Assessing the Effect of Dapagliflozin on Cardiorenal Outcomes in Severe Chronic Kidney Disease
~1500 patients (GFR<25, dialysis, or transplant GFR<45)

If a patient developed a UTI after initiation of SGLT2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) therapy, how likely are you going to re-challenge or not ... what factors would influence your decision ⁉️

Basics of Glomerulonephritis (GN). GBM is key.
All patterns can be explained by glomerular basement membrane (GBM) & type of injury.
Let’s do one at a time
CRESCENTIC GN
1. Results from breach/break of GBM (red arrow)
2. Injury is sudden & severe
Eg-ANCA & anti-GBM GN
