This week, we will discuss another target trial emulation study. The FDA says to stop metformin at a GFR of 30. Are they right?
This week, we will discuss the first iteration of KDIGO’s 2025 guidelines on ADPKD. These guidelines are a result of a decade of global collaboration between physicians, researchers, advocates, and patients. The guidelines incorporate ADPKD-specific care as well as many general CKD management practice points.
This week, we will celebrate in advance World Kidney Day by discussing the results of OBInutuzumab in active lupus nephritis. The LUNAR trial (rituximab versus placebo) was “almost” positive, but not quite there. Would Obi overpower its cousin ritux? ✨
This week, we will continue with February’s aldosterone leitmotif: do mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) truly blind the diagnostic in unilateral hypraldosteronism? Is this the article the mythbuster? Draw your own conclusions

This was foreseen in our Freely Filtered episode and disputed during #KidneyWK 2023 late-breaking clinical trials session. Still, when it comes to RCTs’ results, will it be Deja Vu or a happy ending?
Does testing for coronary heart disease before kidney transplant improve post transplant outcomes? To know the answer check out the beautiful VAs created by NSMC Interns Renz and Nihal!
