B cell therapies in IgAN advance: povetacicept from Vertex

#NephMadness timing was perfect for this
Atacicept has competition now (and there’s the Chinese Telitacicept)
SLANH 🌎 survey (Mar–Dec 2024; n=505; 20 LA countries): EBP for AKI 👉🏻IHD 98%, PD 65%, CRRT 59% (unavailable in 🇭🇹, 🇳🇮, 🇵🇾 & 🇻🇪). Advanced EBP scarce: ECMO 16.7%, ECCO₂R 7%. Top training needs: ECMO, ECCO₂R, CRRT, TPE. @SLANH_ #AKI #EBP

Proud to have been part of this newly published phase 2 RCT in AKI + iron deficiency (n=120). A single 1,200 mg IV iron dextran infusion was safe but did not reduce MAKE at 90 days vs usual care (82% vs 75%; p=0.37). #AKI #Nephrology #ClinicalTrials

A multicenter retrospective HRS-HARMONY study (11 🇺🇸 🏥 systems; n=374 cirrhosis + AKI requiring dialysis): HRS-AKI was not associated with higher 90-day mortality vs other AKI etiologies. Overall mortality 59.6%—similar to other AKI-dialysis cohorts. 🔗 journals.lww.com/kidney360/fu...

like @nephcrit.bsky.social at BICARICU2 I was in a minroty in this discussion
thanks @ucsfnephrology.bsky.social and @nephroninja.bsky.social and Sam Silver for joining us!
Wow - excellent discussion of the totally underwhelming BICAR-ICU2 trial

Okay. That's been my practice too. Thanks!
From last nights fish grill (Audio on)
Discussion of steroids was very balanced. But I know you love steroids. I find this hard to navigate personally. What do you do with flu-ARDS? Hold steroids? DEXA-ARDS protocol?
Time to grill Charmaine Lok about fish oil for the next Freely Filtered with @nephcrit.bsky.social and @hswapnil.medsky.social
Nice of @ajkd.bsky.social to recognize this!
Congrats to @karenwoomd.bsky.social @nephcrit.bsky.social @amyaimei.bsky.social and all the others!

ICU Snapshots:
Walking from room to room in the ICU, you see this on the monitor of a 60 yo female patient admitted the previous night with severe community-acquired pneumonia & what you were told was "refractory" septic/cardiogenic shock. Arterial line was in the R fem artery:
Is this the earliest description of contrast nephropathy from 1959?

Several aspects still key
- immediate oliguria
- recovery by 2 weeks
- false positive urine protein
- high dose contrast

Officially graduated from #CriticalCare fellowship. It’s been a unique and fulfilling journey taking a break from my #Nephrology associate professor role to return as a trainee. Strengthened my #POCUS foundation, built #TEE skills, and now looking forward to returning as #NephCrit.
⏳ One week left to apply. The Fellows’ Travel Support Scholarship gives nephrology fellows $1,000 to attend the UAB CRRT Academy. Train in person, build practical CRRT skills, and learn through simulation and expert-led sessions. Apply by Monday, July 21 👉 bit.ly/3FGntEx
