Most kidney trials whisper. This one doesn’t. @NEJM Phase 3 interim analysis in NEJM: telitacicept cut proteinuria by 58.9% vs 8.8% placebo in high-risk IgA nephropathy. eGFR at 39 weeks: -1.0% vs -7.7%. Dual BAFF/APRIL blockade may be hitting disease upstream. #IgAN #Nephrology #KidneyDisease #Glomerulonephritis

In oncology we say one size doesn’t fit all, but if there are any drugs that work in almost all cancers, they have to be platinum drugs especially Cisplatin and Carboplatin. The simplest, effective and cheapest drugs that have no replacement in several cancers are out of stock in most hospitals in India, leaving patients and families to suffer with no treatments even in curable cancers. The global supply chain has been massively impacted, so are the import rates and manufacturing rates. While capping prices of drugs is a welcome move, flexibility that is reviewed dynamically is the need of the hour, a 50% rise in capped price of a 200 rupees drug that is life saving should be accommodated as the cost of lives lost is going to be much more. Request @narendramodi @PMOIndia @JPNadda @MoHFW_INDIA @AmitShahOffice to resolve the situation ASAP

Case of HTRA1 Membranous Nephropathy With Polytypic IgG Concurrent With New Plasma Cell Dyscrasia. Coincidence or related? #fig1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #renalpath #pathtwitter #nephrology

Plasma cell rich cellular rejection in a kidney transplant. I feel like I am seeing this more commonly this in recent times. Tends to be more recalcitrant and seen with low immunosuppression/treatment non-adherence. Virus, PTLD ruled out here. #renalpath #PathTwitter

Look at this family shifting their home and taking both their dogs along with them. This is truly what real pet ownership and responsibility looks like. Sadly, every day we come across heartbreaking cases where people leave their pets behind on the streets after shifting homes or because of small personal inconveniences. These innocent souls wait endlessly for the families they loved the most, not understanding why they were abandoned. Always remember a pet is never a temporary responsibility or a toy for comfort. A pet is a lifetime commitment, a family member, a soul who trusts you unconditionally. No matter how difficult life gets, never leave them behind. They need you till their very last breath. Be the reason they feel safe, loved, and protected forever. #Dogs #AnimalWelfare

One of my favorite incidental EM findings. Crystalline proto-renin granules in JGA cells. #renalpath #nephrology #pathtwitter

It's not always diabetic nephropathy. Pt with DN, HTN, and nephrotic range proteinuria. Elevated K/L ratio. Bx with Light and Heavy Chain deposition disease mimicking nodular diabetic glomerulopathy. #renalpath #pathtwitter #nephrology

"Cognitive frailty" in geriatrics is the quiet overlap of physical frailty and early cognitive decline before dementia sets in. It shows up as slowed thinking, reduced resilience, and vulnerability to stressors. Its reversible! Simple, consistent interventions movement, nutrition, cognitive engagement can restore function. Simply put, its deconditioning, at #AayuGeriatrics we catch it early and intervene! #MedTwitter #Geriatrics #Eldercare

Congratulations @jradnephro on the EiC appointment! Best wishes! theisn.org/blog/2026/05/0…

A lot of advances in medicine are driven by individual investigators with a passion to solve a medical problem and improve outcomes. They go above and beyond. Nights, weekends. Barriers. Disappointments. With or without institutional support. They do this despite the fact that they usually don’t gain anything financially, and often make far less money to pursue their passion for research. Their main reward is the progress itself, and that’s sufficient. Yes, some do receive recognition, awards, and fame, but for most of my colleagues that’s not the driver of why they do what they do.

So many people willing to exploit people’s care & compassion for dogs to elicit money Uganda is a major scam centre
