Autoimmune glomerulonephritis = shared injury pathways 🔬
Complement, IL-17/IL-23, Fc receptors & interferon drive renal damage across lupus, IgA, & ANCA diseases. 🧩 Biopsy + multiomics may guide personalized therapy.

📈 In IgA nephropathy, a high Cholesterol-HDL-Glucose (CHG) index > 5.29 predicts poorer kidney survival.
⚠️ Patients showed an 84% greater risk of renal decline.
Metabolic imbalance = worse renal outcomes.

In IgA nephropathy, a higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) predicts early kidney decline.
🩸 Inflammation marker tied to lower eGFR & worse clinical profile.
📊 NLR could serve as a simple risk tool for IgAN progression.

🩺 New editorial in Br J Hosp Med:
“Reducing Therapeutic Nihilism in Chronic Kidney Disease.”
CKD deserves proactive, hopeful management — not resignation.
Empower patients. Intervene early. Treat boldly.

🩺 SPK transplant study (n=307):
Early steroid withdrawal ≈ steroid maintenance for rejection risk (26% vs. 29%).
Graft survival linked to rejection—not regimen.

🏃♂️💚 New study of 119K+ Americans with Type 2 diabetes shows:
Even modest physical activity = big health gains.
Inactive → “Good health” ↑ 2.6× with regular movement.
Perfection isn’t required—progress matters.

🚨 New study: UTI rates after kidney transplant vary 0–12.9% across U.S. centers.
Risk factors: stent use, longer catheter time, female sex, older age.
Better collaboration = fewer post-transplant infections.

🫀 #CAREHKinHF Registry: In 2,558 HF pts at high hyperkalemia risk: • 29% had hyperkalaemia
• Only 29% received optimal RASi/MRA • Potassium binder use low (patiromer 9.1%, SZC 5.9%)
Hyperkalaemia → ↑ hospitalization risk (HR 1.59).

#FACTtrial: In DNA-JB9 + Fibrillary Glomerulopathy, Acthar Gel cut proteinuria > 70% at 12 mo (P < 0.02). Adding tacrolimus offered no extra benefit. Acthar Gel alone is an effective antiproteinuric option for this ultra-rare kidney disease. #Nephrology
