🚬Smoking increases 10x the risk of ESKD in #IgAN #Kidneywk Image
Steroids are no walk in the park in #IgAN. With very good supporting care loss of kidney function is very mild (-1.6 ml/min/year). Testing had to be terminated prematurely due to adverse events. #KidneyWk ImageImage
10 year follow up of #STOPIgA. No differences. And now with #SGLT2i or hydroxichloroquine thess curves may separate without the use of steroids. #KidneyWk Image
