Bone marrow-derived inflammatory signals may shape glomerular disease in ways that we are only beginning to understand. Read this article in #ASNKidneyNews following one of the most prominent and debated candidates, suPAR: kidney.pub/KN1802-15
Research suggests Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) may contribute to CKD and its comorbidities, necessitating additional research. https://bit.ly/JASN0739 @drflashheart.bsky.social @pnatarajanmd.bsky.social @zhiyu.bsky.social #ASNJASN
Study finds that Non-DNMT3A CHIP was associated with CKD progression among individuals with CKD, and Tet2-CHIP mouse models support a causal role in kidney injury. https://bit.ly/JASN0680 @drflashheart.bsky.social @pnatarajanmd.bsky.social @zhiyu.bsky.social #ASNJASN
In patients with CKD, non-DNMT3A CHIP was associated with cardiovascular disease with an effect size similar to that reported in the general population. https://bit.ly/JASN0671 #ASNJASN @drflashheart.bsky.social @pnatarajanmd.bsky.social @zhiyu.bsky.social

Not sure how long y'all are going to be following, so will teach this while I can... Microscopic hematuria in children is normal, right? NO! Some of these kids are at risk of developing kidney disease and there's something you can do about it. 🧵 #NephPearls
