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.

kireports.org/article/S2468-… Podocyte number per glomerulus predicts progressive CKD independent of clinical characteristics (GFR and proteinuria) or other microstructural pathology (glomerular size or nephrosclerosis)!

One of the biggest issue when treating #MembranousNephropathy is we have to secure a good dose of rituximab. 💧Urinary loss of RTX >2mcg/mL is associated with lower clinical and immunological response ➡️ treatment failure. NDT #MembranousNephropathy

Membranous nephropathy has undergone a paradigm shift due to the discovery of unique MN antigens. MN has gone from idiopathic to ➡️ primary vs. secondary ➡️ where an antigen can be detected in ~80% of MN. This is a comprehensive review of each antigen. nature.com/articles/s4158…
