@Nephro_Sparks @nkf I got this today also, whereas my FNKF was awarded about 8 years ago. Why now @nkf?

[James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph]

@KatieKwonMD @ASNKidney Some special topic modules are on the way, such as onco-nephrology, from the Continuous Professional Development Committee. #KSAP also fills that role to some extent, although not an organized curriculum, covering the breadth of nephrology with extensive question discussions.

@NephRodby That is hilarious! 😆

[James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph]

A photogenic and talented group of physicians!

@MChanMD @NephJC In direct costs, that’s true, but there are also downstream costs of dialysis: infections, procedures, and hospitalizations. #NephJC

@rheault_m @NephJC @gokidgo Isn’t there evidence of benefit for steroids in some patients with genetic causes of FSGS (strangely)? #NephJC

[James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph]

@NephJC @NephroSeeker The epitome of this type of nonspecific effect is proteinuria reduction with ACEI/ARB. Probably indicated for most causes of FSGS, even if just a pattern of injury. #NephJC

Encouraging findings about GLP1 (below), also GIP and glucagon triple therapy (not shown): #KidneyWk

[James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph]

@NephroticSyn @ASNKidney Probably? But there’s a long history of surrogate markers not translating to clinical benefit, so it’d be nice to know for sure.

[James Novak, MD PhD FACP FASN FNKF @JamesNovakNeph]

Sparsentan also better than irbesartan for proteinuria, and maybe slightly for eGFR decline, in IgAN: ⁦@ASNKidney⁩ #KidneyWeek
