This one provides genetically proxied evidence to support that FGF21 signaling may reduce chronic kidney disease risk, have favorable effects across a broad range of renal outcomes and cardiometabolic risk factors. 
- Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a fasting or stress inducible metabolic hormone produced mainly in the liver.
It plays important roles in regulating glucose and lipid homeostasis, as well as bone homeostasis.
It plays important roles in regulating glucose and lipid homeostasis, as well as bone homeostasis.
- This study leveraged a missense genetic variant, rs739320 in the FGF21 gene, that associates with magnetic resonance imaging-derived liver fat as a clinically validated and biologically plausible instrumental variable for studying the effects of FGF21 analogs.
1) Welcome to a 🆕accredited tweetorial from @cardiomet_CE! We welcome back expert faculty @ChristosArgyrop to discuss screening for #CKD in pts w/ #T2D & the role of routine assessment for #microalbuminuria as an effective diagnostic, risk stratification, & patient ed tool.

EMPA-KIDNEY is unique because it enrolled GFR 20-45 *without* proteinuria whereas others (DAPA CKD, CANVAS) enrolled pts with CKD+proteinuria, though DAPA-CKD conducted a subgroup analysis for UACR < and > 1000
The primary outcome was a composite of progression of #kidney disease (defined as #ESRD, a sustained decrease in eGFR to <10, a sustained decrease in eGFR of ≥40% from baseline, or death
from #renal causes) or death from #cardiovascular causes
from #renal causes) or death from #cardiovascular causes

In this one, coffee was inversely associated with chronic kideny disease in a dose-dependent manner, particularly in females with the effect being stronger in those with higher SHBG and lower testosterone concentrations.
- Among more than 350,000 participants in the UK Biobank, coffee consumption reduced the risk of CKD regardless of genetic risk.
- The effect was sex-specific, and was modified by testosterone and SHBG.
