AMBER Trial: The Visual Abstract
Excellent visual abstract for this week’s NephJC on patiromer and spironolactone by Verner Venegas
Background
This week, we will discuss the first iteration of KDIGO’s 2025 guidelines on ADPKD. These guidelines are a result of a decade of global collaboration between physicians, researchers, advocates, and patients. The guidelines incorporate ADPKD-specific care as well as many general CKD management practice points.
