Dr. Cavanaugh. Thanks for your question. In response , I offer the hypothesis that moderate oral doses of methyl prednisolone are equivalent to targeted release Budesonide in terms of efficacy and safety for reducing proteinuria and delaying ESKD in IgAN. Am I wrong?

I am getting pretty fed up with math quizzes, visual tests and dictionary inquiries. Canโ€™t we do better than this. X is getting very boring!

For Kidney Health Advocates- lets all get on the same page: 1) only <5% of incident CKD is caused by HTN;2) progression of CKD can be slowed by treatment of HTN when proteinuria is concomitantly present; 3) HTN is mostly consequent to CKD, not caused by CKD.

Just curious. What does the leadership of the ISN , ASN and the CDC plan to do when the USA abandons the WHO as a result of the Executive Order issued by President Trump on January 20?

What would James Madison say if he was alive and witnessing the Executive-Judicial branch battles that have developed? Are we on the verge of a Constitutional Crisis? . The SCOTUS must intervene, and quickly , IMO

The โ€œTrump Budget Proposalโ€ for 2026 poses a great danger for the NIH and medical research in general. Letโ€™s hope that Congress rejects this alarming proposal.

My teeth grate whenever I hear of an โ€œepidemicโ€ of non-communicable diseases (NCD; like CKD, Autism or Alzheimerโ€™s disease). The frequency of NCD in any given population can be decided by definitions (labels) and changes in how the disease is searched for (testing, screening )
