Our latest study, just published in @TheLancet, reports the first successful transition from porcine kidney #xenotransplantation to human kidney transplantation.
A genetically engineered pig kidney provided >9 months (271 days) of dialysis-free kidney function before successful human transplantation, supporting xenotransplantation as a potential bridge while preserving future transplant options.
Beyond the clinical milestone, the study provides new insights into late microvascular inflammation and innate immune activation that will help shape future immunosuppressive strategies and donor genetic engineering.

Could APOL1 risk variants affect kidney health before birth? In a HIVAN mouse model, APOL1-G1 was linked to a preeclampsia-like phenotype and reduced podocyte and glomerular densities in offspring, suggesting a developmental “second hit.” #ASNKidney360 #BasicResearch https://t.co/qyM76NWEv7

@NephRodby Preliminary data showed that ravulizumab was associated with a 43% reduction in proteinuria in patients with IgAN compared with placebo.

From #GlomConHawaii LBCT 1st session: eGFR results at 24 months from VISIONARY trial by @DanaRizk1

💡Main question: Does sibeprenlimab preserve kidney function in IgAN?

Reminder by @VladoPerkovic
📍Sibeprenlimab inhibits APRIL, reducing pathogenic Gd-IgA1 production
📍VISIONARY was a ph 3 RCT, N=510; sibeprenlimab 400 mg SC vs placebo

At the rate things are going, when I wake up tomorrow, I'm sure there will be another new drug for IgAN. 😂

No shortage of new and developing IgAN treatments. Don’t look away or you will be out of date. #GlomconHawaii

I had no idea NYC had its own version of The Bean (Cloud Gate). 🫘 Have you ever seen it?

Interesting findings. Combining blood gene expression, ddcfDNA, and urinary chemokines improved diagnostic performance, while reducing unnecessary renal allograft biopsies and resource utilization.

Very surprised that @WHOOP doesn’t have “road biking” listed as an activity. What’s up with that?! 🚴
