The NephJC podcast discusses the latest NephJC topic every two to four weeks.
Episode 048: TESTING is the latest IgA nephropathy trial and it is the comeback kid of nephrology trials. From a trial that was halted because of excess adverse events to a safe and effective therapy with just a few tweeks. Amazing turn around. Join the Filtrate as we put TESTING to the test with study author Sean Barbour.

Episode 036 AKIKI-2. Nephrology has been the beneficiary of a handful of studies examining the impact of the timing of the initiation of dialysis in AKI. One of these trials, AKIKI, now has a genuine sequel. In 2016 AKIKI was the first multi-center RCT examining early initiation of dialysis versus late initiation of dialysis and showed that early initiation not only failed to improve patient outcomes but resulted in a significant number of patients receiving dialysis that would have recovered kidney function without intervention had they only been randomized to the late arm. Now five years later we are reviewing the sequel which asks the next logical question, “If delayed dialysis is as good as early dialysis is even later dialysis equivalent or even better?”
Episode 035: The COVID-19 Pandemic changed everything and last fall the ASN set out to document how it affected our nephrology fellows. The ASN Workforce Committee adapted the Annual Fellow Survey to assess how the pandemic affected nephrology fellows in terms of burn out, education, and enthusiasm for the specialty.
