I don’t know how it is with you, but lupus has always been the disease that I hated the most. However, IgA nephropathy must be the one that I’m most frustrated about. Primarily, because I feel like there’s nothing I can do about it like I’m some kind of fraud just waiting for the patient to figure it all out and see straight through my incompetence. If you’re struggling with similar emotions, I strongly suggest that you listen to the IgA nephropathy podcast with our expert guest Professor Jon...

In the latest episode of A Pinch of Salt check out 'Proteinuria - the common suspect', the most obvious whodunit in the pathophysiological process of kidney disease. Things are changing and I start being confused with the labile landscape of proteinuria. A huge number of mechanisms are presented and a large number of molecules are circulating or will circulate soon. In this pleasant tsunami of new ideas on the pathophysiologic mechanisms of proteinuria and the treatment options accompanying t...
A Pinch of Salt today set sail very far away! We went to the other side of the Atlantic ocean, transversed a few thousand km or miles of land and finally got to Katherine Tuttle, from Washington USA, an eminent specialist on translational medicine who will « unconfuse » us on the « new drugs in nephrology » a series of innovative treatments or indications for currently existing ones. We‘ll talk about SGLT2 inhibitors, Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists and many more! Because that's the ob...
Dialysis saves lives. But only if you can do it and do it well. Enter dialysis access. There is no dialysis without dialysis access. Whose job is it to take care of this vital, crucial part of dialysis? Is it OK to leave this to physicians for whom dialysis is not foremost in their minds? Or should it be the other way around? Should nephrologists become part-time surgeons? If you’re thinking about these things and particularly if you are harbouring a hidden desire to do some surgical stuff on...

And all that for free? Without pills?Do you want to know the name of this treatment? Come closer, I ‘ll share with you the se...
Life expectancy is rising in most of the world and with it we have a rising number of elderly individuals in our society. We are used to the type of medicine that is best suited for younger patients – identify the disease, give the best and most effective treatment and cure the patient. However, in elderly individuals the goals might be completely different. Do you think we are going to far sometimes? Are we really treating the patient or are we sometimes just treating the numbers. If y...
One of the most cheeky subjects in Nephrology is the diagnostic and therapeutic interventions on the nutritional status of CKD patients.It is cheeky because when it is not good it may kill the patient and also because it is one of the typical subjects that we « think » we know » but when we scratch a little bit we realise there are huge undiscovered avenues to explore.In order to know a bit more about it, check on the new episode of the ERA podcast "A pinch of Salt" concerning Nutrition in CK...
