👏👏👏 @kronbichlerlab.bsky.social #FSGS #Nephroticsyndrome #APOL1 just one small note on %FPE/genetics. The concept that genetic forms have ⬇️FPE is confounded. Most FSGS related to slit-diaphragm genes presenting with NS have ⬆️FPE. We see nearly total FPE with TRPC6, INF2, NPHS1, NPHS2, MYO1E et al

Phenotypic differences between AAV patients in Japan (compared to USA/EU) are obvious. In this study, we surveyed patients presenting during the early phase of the pandemic. A striking difference in the use of glucocorticoids at 6 months has also been observed! academic.oup.com/rheumatology...

In a sub-analysis of the PEXIVAS trial, we analysed eGFR course over the first 52 weeks (www.kidney-international.org/article/S008.... Key: while the initial increase in eGFR is significant (PLEX vs no-PLEX), no major difference is seen at 52 weeks
